The Angelina Jolie "With Those People" boycott email is a hoax
 
Summary: The burden of proof has not been met, so the claims are false.
 
    Angelina Jolie has been criticized for her left-wing activism, including by my good friend and great political commentator Debbie Schlussel (http://debbieschlussel.com), but an email circulating which contains a "those people" quote and calling for a boycott is based on false information. The quote has not been attributed to any specific event, nor has it been documented or recorded anywhere. The boycott called against her movies for making that statement, of which the email is centered, therefore, is baseless.

    It is very easy to make up a quote, and one of the first things that should give a hint of falsehood is when a quote is not attributed to any event or date, nor is it a complete sentence, as is completely the case here. Since the email is centered on false information, it therefore stands to reason there is no reason to put trust in any other part of the email.

    None the less, there are several articles by Debbie Schlussel about Angelina Jolie on the Debbie Schlussel archive page at http://debbieschlussel.com/archives.html

Subject: RE: Angelina Jolie

before you go see another Angelina Jolie movie, read these facts about this so called great star. See if you want to make her life style even better.

She has publicly stated both verbally and in writing the following horrible statements: She hates American trouble makers and say they do not act like the finer Europeans, She hates The American Fascist Government. Most of all she hates The State of Israel. It should be completely obliterated. together "WITH THOSE PEOPLE"

She believes in freedom of the press, except for herself. Will not allow certain TV Stations to come to her opening, and no Reporter can make any statements before she sees them and must sign a contract that if she doesnt like what they print, she will sue them for millions. Every news outlet including the Liberal and Conservative Media has condemned her statements, including thos e not allowing certain stations to attend.

It is ironic that she plays the wife of Jewish Reporter David Pearl in her new film, after her anti Israel and "THOSE PEOPLE" remarks. Her comments have been condemned by many Americans and the Isrealis press. Her biggest condemner is her father actor Jon Hoyt, who says his daughter is "very misguieded and sometimes hatefull"

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERY ONE WHO LOVES AMERICA AND BELIEVES THAT ISRAEL MUST SURVIVE FOR MANKIND TO SURVIVE IF YOU DO NOT FEEL THIS WAY ABOUT AMERICA AND ISRAEL THEN JUST DELETE
