Pro-Israel Celebrities

Update July 2020: With so many anti-Israel and even antisemitic shenanigans we are seeing from celebrities, I thought it would be good to go over this list, first started over a decade ago in June 2010.

Below is a list of celebrities (dead and alive) who were/are either definitely pro-Israel or have somehow been associated with a pro-Israel cause. I have linked each celebrity’s name to an article showing this. 

Note that this post is designed to be a work-in-progress, and not a complete list of pro-Israel celebrities. If you know of other pro-Israel celebrities, please leave their names in the comments, as well as a links to proof of this, and I will update the post accordingly.

140 thoughts on “Pro-Israel Celebrities”

  1. Leonard Cohen – Finale in Israel – Priestly Blessing

    “Leonard Cohen final words at his last European tour, at Ramat-Gan Stadium, near Tel-Aviv, Israel” the clip was uploaded to youtube in 2009

  2. Rod Stewart, Elton John and Ozzy Osborne all played in Israel and resisted pressure to join hte racist boycott of the Jewish State.

  3. Jason Alexander are you kidding me. He and his leftist buddies went to Israel to tell Israel to give land to the Terrorists…Oh wait I’m sorry the so called “Pallestinians”

  4. Half these people don’t ‘Support’ Israel per say, they are for both sides to be established. Some of them have never even spoken about it, they’re just Jewish. A lot of Jews here in NY actually are ‘Against’ Israel and Zionism, there are whole organizations made entirely of Jews who are against Israel.

  5. Howie Mandel supports Israel.
    The late Harpo Marx was an avid Zionist. He even bequeathed his harp to Israel in his will. This is true.
    The late showman, Billy Rose was a Zionist and bequeathed his sculpture collection to Israel. There is now the Billy Rose Sculpture Garden in Jerusalem.
    The late actor Canada Lee was a supporter of Israel.
    The late actor Jeff Chandler was a supporter of Israel.

  6. I apologize for repeating Harpo Marx, whom I originally listed on Nov. 21st.
    I heard the late actress, Shelley Winters, speak at a pro-Israeli rally.
    Lauren Bacall is a cousin of Shimon Peres and took some actions on behalf of Israel.
    Actor, Ben Vereen is pro-Israeli and appeared on a telethon for Israel.
    Gabe Kaplan is pro-Israeli.

  7. what about Rashida Jones … the daughter of Peggy Lipton … i recently heard that she is becoming more religious …. very dedicated to Israel … just to let you know …

      1. She doesn’t exactly fit my definition of anti-Israel eg. Ken Loach. She’s not anti-Palestinian, but she is not anti-Israel either. The two are not mutually exclusive. She has performed in Israel, and even did an interview on an Israeli news station.

  8. I’m sorry, but I’m having trouble making sense of this article. At the top of the page, it describes the celebrities coming out against the settlement project as anti-Israel, and yet there are numerous celebrities on this list who have done pretty much the same thing. I don’t understand. What is your definition of anti-Israel?

    1. Claudia G Cotner

      His mother is Jewish, but of course there are Jews like Jon Stewart and Woodie Allen who are also Jewish and hate Israel….Maurice H

      1. Kingsley stated in 1994: “I’m not Jewish… and though there might be
        some Russian-Jewish heritage way back on my mother’s side, the thread is so fine there’s no real evidence”.

    1. Claudia G Cotner

      Reuven, in the beginning Brando was for Israel, but in his later years he was for the Palestinians….Maurice H

  9. Madonna giving the finger… Charming. That’s just the kind of gesture I’d expect from Jews or pro-Jewish people. Typical and classless.

  10. Mel Gibson isn’t anti-Israel., In recent years, he has met6 weith rabbis, gone to Bsar mitvahs, and attended Passover Seders. He is sincerely sorry for his past anti-Semitism. His father, Hutten Gibson, on the otherhand, is a virulent anti-Semite.

  11. Desiree Soper

    I’m a liberal centrist progressive semi socialist and I support Israel. Not all liberals are against Israel. I consider leftists and “liberals” who are anti-Israel hypocrites when it comes to liberal values considering Muslim countries are true apartheid countries, have the most human rights violations, extremely sexist and homophobic, and against secularism and non Muslims whereas Israel is the mostonly liberal country in the ME. Please don’t group us all together. Sadly most leftists are against Israel and I’m ashamed of the Democratic party. Its crazy, if you say anything against Islam you are branded Islamophobe or xenophobic. If you are a Feminist and say anything against how women are treated in Islamic countries and families or burkas you are considered an Islamophobe and Western elitist. There are liberals who speak up against Islam and support Israel, but we are constantly slandered and silenced by our fellow liberals and leftists. Liberals who support Israel do exist we are just a minority unfortunately.

  12. Claudia G Cotner

    Except for Kobe I did not find many African-Americans on this list. Shame on them? Have they forgotten Selma…Maurice H Bank

  13. Claudia G Cotner

    Jeff Chandler was born Ira Grosell in Brooklyn of Jewish parents, but I am glad to hear that Dana Andrews was on the list. He was a marvelous and well loved actor….Maurice H

  14. Claudia G Cotner

    Yeah, too bad Shirley Chisolm wasn’t, and neither is Maxine Waters and former congressman Harold Ford. John Lewis boycotted Netenyahu’s speech, so screw him to!…Maurice H

  15. Claudia G Cotner

    also played the murdering Brit in The Patriot and commanding officer of Nick Cage in that marine movie…maurice h

  16. Claudia G Cotner

    Joel, you have to base love for Israel on more than a movie. Richard Boone and Peck were def very pro-Israel, but Bronson only made a movie….Maurice H

  17. You left out Gerard Butler.
    He was photographed here at a Mimouna party a few years back with the PM & the PM’s mishpokhe…

    1. Another picture, because I’m female and it’s this thing where sometimes females like to see pictures of Gerard Butler.
