Following Roger Water’s disgusting, but predictable, rant against Israel, we were “greeted” today with the news that Toe Pearl Jam’s Darth Eddie Vedder – an apparent friend of Waters – had also revealed his true, Israel-hating colors.
And I am sure we will hear from the usual wretched hive of celebrity scum and villainy over the course of this war. But instead of focusing on them, I would like to point out those celebrities who have spoken out for Israel during this difficult time.
Actor Greg Grunberg:
It’s disgraceful how the press is under-reporting what is happening in #Israel.

NBC affiliate weatherman Tim Miller (hat tip: Johnny Massengill):
Musician Phil Soussan:
Disturbed singer David Draiman, who has been tweeting voraciously for Israel (the below is but one example).

Roseanne:
assuming that all jews r european is part of #BDS & anti semitism of RogerWaters: http://t.co/r0QGlNptWd — Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) July 12, 2014
Dr Ruth:
Life goes on here in Israel despite the rockets raining on us. Of course I was seriously wounded in ’48 ignoring air raid siren!
— Dr. Ruth Westheimer (@AskDrRuth) July 9, 2014
Mayim Bialik (hat tip: Eric):
apparently wishing a happy sabbath to my family and friends and people in israel constitutes being a baby killer…. http://t.co/5Pai6VXDuD — Mayim Bialik (@missmayim) July 11, 2014
Adam Baldwin:

Yael Markovich, Miss International Israel 2012 at a big pro Israel rally in LA:
(Yael said this for Israellycool: “When they stop acting like animals and start acting like human beings, we will have peace not just in Israel… but on earth!”)
Omri Casspi:
600 missiles been fired from GAZA by Hamas in the last 4 days. NUMBERS DONT LIE. STOP LYING.

Becky Griffin (who is a very outspoken supporter of Israel):
In criminal and international law, there is “self-defense”. If you are against Israel’s right to defend itself — you are an ignorant racist
— Becky Griffin (@dorothyofisrael) July 14, 2014
And let’s not forget Vanessa Williams, who visited and promoted Israel during this time.
I will hopefully be able to add to this list. If you find any other celebrities speaking out for Israel now, please let me know in the comments.
