for supporting Palestine in the midst of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.The 85-year-old actor called Jolie, 49, “ignorant” and “naive” in an interview with Variety published Tuesday.“She has been exposed to propaganda,” said Voight. “She’s been influenced by antisemitic people.

Angie has a connection to the UN, and she’s enjoyed speaking out for refugees. But these people are not refugees.”Formerly a special envoy of the UN High Commission for Refugees, Jolie has spoken out against Israel for bombing Gaza in the wake of Hamas’ terrorist attack against Israel on October 7.“What happened in Israel is an act of terror,” Jolie said in an October 2023 statement, according to the Hollywood Reporter. “But that cannot justify the innocent lives lost in bombing a civilian population in Gaza that has nowhere to go, no access to food or water, no possibility of evacuation, and not even the basic human right to cross a border to seek refuge.”The “Maleficent” star’s father countered, “She’s ignorant of what the real stakes are and what the real story is because she’s in the loop of the United Nations.” Voight criticized “naive” activists who say there are over 5 million Palestinian refugees in Gaza and the West Bank. “They’re dupes who never get outside of their bubble,” he said, noting that Jolie is one of those “naive dupes.”Voight explained that “it’s hard” for him to talk to his daughter about their differences.“She doesn’t really want to share this kind of stuff, because she’s of another mind about it,” he said.The “Pride and Glory” star continued: “I love my daughter.

I don’t want to fight with my daughter. But the fact is, I think she has been influenced by the UN. From the beginning, it’s been awful with human rights.
