Now I know who Natalie Portman is. Don’t ask me tomorrow, I might have forgotten. She evidently had a part in one of the Star Wars movies.
The Washington Free Beacon tells us that she was due to receive an award from something called the Genesis Prize Foundation. This seems to be a mini-Nobel Prize group located in Israel. The prize was to “for her work upholding the advancement of women’s rights and philanthropy.”
Evidently she refused to travel to Israel because she felt the country was being mean to Hamas. That would seem to put her in the mainstream of the left. What makes it seem a bit odd is that she was born in Israel and claims to be a big supporter of the country. I find myself in a state of cognitive dissonance. How can you be a supporter of Israel and get offended when they protect themselves from terrorists?
Only in the mind of a liberal snowflake, but are there any other kind?

Probably not.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that we don't seem to have any conservative snowflakes. I guess they are too busy working and paying taxes.
