Even more amazing, Jon Voight, 85, hasn’t been blackballed by the industry and still is in demand for acting jobs.
NY Post What’ more, Jon Voight slammed his daughter Angelina Jolie for supporting Palestine in the midst of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. The 85-year-old actor called Jolie, 49, “ignorant” and “naive” in an interview with Variety published Tuesday.
Formerly a special envoy of the UN High Commission for Refugees, Jolie has spoken out against Israel for bombing Gaza in the wake of Hamas’ terrorist attack against Israel on October 7. The “Maleficent” star’s father countered, “She’s ignorant of what the real stakes are and what the real story is because she’s in the loop of the United Nations.”
Voight criticized “naive” activists who say there are over 5 million Palestinian refugees in Gaza and the West Bank. “They’re dupes who never get outside of their bubble,” he said, noting that Jolie is one of those “naive dupes.” Last year, the “Runaway Train” actor called Jolie out for defending Palestinians instead of Israelis.

I think Jon Voight is more famous for Deliverance and Midnight Cowboy than Runaway Train. Him and James Woods have courage to go against the degenerate, dishonest, communist machine that is hollywood in the 21st century…
Yes, I forgot about James Woods. He isn’t afraid to take on the Leftists either.
James Woods had a full scholarship to MIT that he gave up on to go into acting. I’m sure his family wasn’t thrilled w/that decision at the time. If only he would run for POTUS…
Jon Voight is so absolutely right. As I have stated many times, the prominent factor is Islam, it is not socialism, it is not communism. These two are used as vehicles to lure the leftists [a.k.a. the fool, who have denied God and His order, and do all crazy things], to vote for them and bring them to power.
A Muslim is obligated to obey to the Quran and to no other ideology.
How come no “liberal” ever tells us their favourite movie from like uh… Qatar or Iran, or Malaysia?
I ask people this on various places sometimes and you just get silence or blocked.
(The obvious answer is, because they have no fun things in Muslim countries and they have no art)
And most music is banned in many Muslim countries.
“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.” ––– Ayatollah Khomeini
I loved “Runaway Train”.
And Eric Roberts also was in it, good actor.
“Ignorant and naive” describes my brain-dead and liberal ex-wife.
