Not everyone in LA-la land is a pinko 'root causes' relativist, as this Jersusalem Post report makes clear:

Any Hollywood producer would give his right arm to work with the stars listed in a full-page advertisement published last week in the Los Angeles Times, among them Nicole Kidman, Bruce Willis, Michael Douglas, Sylvester Stallone, Danny DeVito, William Hurt, James Woods, Gary Sinise and Millie Perkins.

The list isn't the cast of an upcoming blockbuster, but a plea by much of the Hollywood elite to back the fight against Hizbullah, Hamas and worldwide terrorism.

The ad, which has resonated across the global entertainment industry with additional placements in trade publications Variety and the Hollywood Reporter, describes its signatories as "pained and devastated by the civilian casualties in Israel and Lebanon caused by terrorist actions initiated by terrorist organizations such as Hizbullah and Hamas."

"If we do not succeed in stopping terrorism around the world," the petition goes on, "chaos will rule and innocent people will continue to die. We need to support democratic societies and stop terrorism at all costs."

The wording may not be forceful by the standards of the Anti-Defamation League and other Jewish organizations, but for Hollywood, which has often remained silent in the face of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel attacks, the statement was a bit of a bombshell.

If anyone has a link to the ad, I'd be grateful if you could email me with it, so I can post it. Thanks.
