Jon Voight threw his support behind Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of Tuesday's elections, simultaneously condemning his opponent Yitzhak Herzog and President Barack Obama.
"I love Israel. I want to see Israel survive and not be overtaken by the madmen of this world," Voight said in a minute-long YouTube video produced by Just Jared and released Sunday.
"President Obama does not love Israel. His whole agenda is to control Israel. And this way he can be friends with all of Israel’s enemies. He doesn't want Bibi Netanyahu to win this upcoming election."
The Academy Award-winning actor and father of Angelina Jolie said that the United States "has not been the same" since Obama took office, and warned that appeasement with countries like Iran is a dangerous course of action.
"Those like Yitzhak Herzog who believe that dealmaking is the solution to what Israel faces are as wrong as Neville Chamberlain believing he made a peace deal with Hitler," he said, referring to the former British prime minster and the fateful Munich Agreement he made in 1938.
"We must learn from history where the true danger lies," Voight added.
Agence France-Presse reported via Yahoo News that the race between Netanyahu's Likud party and Herzog's Zionist Union is very tight. Three days ahead of election day, polls showed that 20 percent of voters were still undecided.
