Liberals Go Crazy After Simon Cowell Donates $150,000+ to the Israeli Military

Small government, free markets, and traditional values.

They say that difficult times bring out the best in people. That appears to be true among some of the Hollywood elite during this most recent period of bloody conflict between the Israel Defense Forces and the radical Islamic terrorist organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Celebrities like Joan Rivers and Howard Stern–neither known for their history of insightful political commentary–have recently weighed in on the Israeli side of the conflict, condemning the pro-Palestinian bias of the liberal international media. John Voight also spoke recently at a pro-Israel rally.

Now comes news from ynetnews of a generous gift from reality television producer and star Simon Cowell. Cowell, a pop culture figure best known for mocking contestants of questionable talent on television programs of questionable value likeAmerican Idol and Britain’s Got Talent, reportedly gave over $150,000 to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces at a fundraiser.

The left, of course, is going ballistic in its usual classy way. Cowell’s Twitter account has been flooded with anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian comments, as if what Cowell does with his money is anyone’s business but his.

Comments claiming that Cowell now has “blood on his hands” for supporting Israel, or that he gave the impressive sum “to the IDF to impress his Jewish girlfriend” are typical of the tweets he has received.

Cowell himself is Christian, although one of his grandparents was Jewish, according to the report. This is apparently enough for one terrorist supporter to accuse Cowell of following his “masters in Tel Aviv.”

Cowell joins the ranks of a surprising number of Hollywood celebrities–including Scarlett Johansson, Jay Leno, and even Robert De Niro–in expressing support for Israel in the face of leftist criticism.

Perhaps Cowell should create a new program on which he brings his trademark scalding commentary to bear on the ridiculously biased coverage of the Gaza conflict–and, for that matter, basically any other important issue making headlines today.

We’d tune in for that.
