Actor Jon Voight said in a recent interview that his famous daughter, Angelina Jolie, is “ignorant” for her pro-Palestinian perspectives, asserting she has been influenced by “antisemitic people.”
The “Same Kind of Different As Me” star told Variety Jolie is “naive” about the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, the terrorist group governing the Gaza Strip.
“She has been exposed to propaganda,” he said of his 49-year-old daughter in the wake of Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7 attack against Israel. “She’s been influenced by antisemitic people. Angie has a connection to the [United Nations], and she’s enjoyed speaking out for refugees. But these people are not refugees.”
The 85-year-old star added, “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 went on to describe those inside the UN as “dupes who never get outside of their bubble.”
While the storied Hollywood star said he has no desire to bicker with his daughter, he told the entertainment magazine it’s a “fact” Jolie has “been influenced by the UN.”
“From the beginning, it’s been awful with human rights,” he expressed to Variety of the United Nations. “They call it human rights, but it’s just anti-Israel bashing.”

Voight is not alone in expressing concerns about the UN’s treatment of Israel.
For example, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has condemned the international organization as “the most antisemitic body on the planet,” according to The Hill.
The senator’s condemnation — one of many — came as the UN, with help from President Joe Biden’s administration, pressured Israel to declare a ceasefire after Hamas terrorists attacked the Jewish state.
“To ask Israel to have a ceasefire after their people were slaughtered more viscously than the Nazis, having children beheaded, women raped in front of their parents — the UN is wrong,” said Graham.
Most recently, on the heels of Democrats forcing President Joe Biden out of the Democratic presidential nomination, for which he had secured all the necessary delegates, Vice President Kamala Harris — Biden’s likely successor to the presidential nod — announced she will be skipping Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address before a joint session of Congress in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
When Netanyahu arrived in the U.S., there were no officials from the Biden administration there to greet him. And, during his speech to lawmakers, Harris will be at a campaign event.
