The Genesis Prize announced it was canceling its prize ceremony in Israel in June after 2018 recipient Natalie Portman said she would not take part in light of “recent events.”

On Thursday, the Genesis Prize Foundation, which awards what it calls the “Jewish Nobel,” said it was “very saddened” that the Israeli-American actress would not take part in the ceremony. The foundation said that Portman’s representative notified it that “[r]ecent events in Israel have been extremely distressing to her and she does not feel comfortable participating in any public events in Israel” and that “she cannot in good conscience move forward with the ceremony.”
The Genesis Prize Foundation cancelled the prize ceremony, saying in a statement that its organizers “fear that Ms. Portman’s decision will cause our philanthropic initiative to be politicized, something we have worked hard for the past five years to avoid.”
Portman did not specify which events caused her distress, although the United Nations and the European Union recently called for investigations into the use of live ammunition by Israel’s military following clashes along the border with Gaza that have left dozens of Palestinians dead and hundreds wounded. Israel celebrated the 70th anniversary of its independence on Thursday.
no, she wont visit Israel because she dodged her compulsory military service

That's a funny way to spell "occupation".

push this news hard. talk about how brave Portman is for standing up to Israel bullying Palestinians to death.
They won't burn portman because that would burn too much money. so they'll be caught and be forced to play another slide card if it starts to get traction. work on hashtag. push this./
also push dichotomy between Portman and Johansson. Johansson would give up international post over soda stream job. Portman would give up international award over deaths.
How long until Natalie Portman becomes an unperson?

If there's anything I hate more than Israel, it's Natalie Portman.

I hate Saturday Night Live just as much as I hated Natalie Portman or Israel…
…………..but it's worth mentioning that when Natalie Portman hosted Saturday Night Live last year, (which is a show that's owned and produced by kikeroaches) she didn't have the luxury of multiple takes, and on live TV she was forced to demonstrate her complete inability to remember even the simplest lines.
She's a TERRIBLE actress, with a shitty personality similar to that of a moldy washrag.
She was awful. She had to read EVERY line off cue cards, and even then she fumbled the reading.
I realize it's live TV, and they only have one week to rehearse their lines, but every other host always seems to be able to memorize their lines during the 7 days of rehearsals, even hosts that aren't professional actors.
If you get a chance, try to watch some of her skits on YouTube. You'll be amazed at how BAD of an actress she truly is.
…………. The only actress who is even worse than Natalie Portman was Gal Gadot, the kikeroach idiot bitch who plays 'wonder woman'.
i mean those videos are seriously fucked up pathetic kikes cheering and gloating about headshotting some innocent teenager walking around…its on video, the guy is literally just standing there for a moment and those kikes headshot him and then cheer with sick pleasure. jews are pathetic.

Do you live in Israel? I want her to go there, and stay.

a picture is worth a thousand words, but in your case, only 25 words are necessary.
'effeminate prepubescent trendy disenfranchised low-masculinity loser with the ladies who uses ridiculous pre-packaged predictable cliche satanic imagery and thinks they're being edgy and original'
lmao @ thinking 'I' of all people would believe in Satan, or Jesus, or God, or Buddha, or Allah, or Krishna…
You've got to be kidding me, right?…
Perhaps you didn't understand what I was saying earlier… I was suggesting that the guy who posted that stupid 'satanic' bulshit sissy boy image is a fucking overgrown prepubescent little bitch, who actually believes in stupid satanic imagery, and actually associated with being 'intimidating and badass'…
I was making fun of him and anybody else who would actually think that bullshit was cool
It reminds me of the average sexually frustrated 16 year old trailer park boy, who is so confused and unoriginal, that he thinks wearing predictable black skull t-shirts from Walmart and a listening to predictable heavy metal will somehow make him seem 'evil' and 'scary', hoping it will somehow attract girls, not realizing the transparent nature of their overcompensation for their lack of masculinity, and the simple inability to understand what girls actually like…
Dipshit, you obviously fail to realize that the only things I will never worship are Elvis and cats…

CONSIDER YOURSELF MY SPERM RAG Seriously… That's what I normally do to girls
I blow jizz on them
And I view you as a female, not a man

No.I meant people who like to use the term"kikeroach" and hate jews and want to burn them will be in hell one day(aka-the metaphorical hell that they are already in) But I didn't know it was you johnny boy You're life is going so well,..well,except for a few drug and mental health issues and the need for validation by "effeminate prepubescent trendy disenfranchised low-masculinity loser with the ladies who uses ridiculous pre-packaged predictable cliche satanic imagery and thinks they're being edgy and original"
but not a practicing orthodox Jew. I don't believe in any religious crap at all..
and I'M the one who made up the term 'kikeroach' when I was a kid… To be candid, I've never seen anybody else use that term in my life, and if they have, then I say its copyright infringement…
… And finally, if you're going to deny that these computer geeks and anime watching video game Star Wars fans are effeminate, you're wearing horse blinders…
The real story about Isn't Real is how they've been manipulating America's foreign policy, but of course these Yids wouldn't have a problem with that if they weren't killing sand people.
Noah Sullivan
Riiight, it's the Palestinians manipulating American foreign policy, the Palestinian lobby is so strong in the US, that's why the past like 7 US presidents wore a yarmulke and went to kiss the wall, that's why Israel received billions of gibbs each year, that's why the US bombed Iraq and Syria and is harmoring for war against Iran, get back in the oven Shlohmo.
