Streisand to Raise Money for Soldiers
IDF soldiers, NOT American soldiers. These are loyal Jews.
Streisand has accepted an offer to perform in a special event honoring the Jewish state. Streisand will take the stage at the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) annual gala on Dec 8 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles. The evening is being organized by Haim Saban and his wife Cheryl, who personally asked Streisand to perform and recruited musical producer David Foster as well. The event will be hosted by actor Jason Alexander, and more than 1,000 people are expected to attend. The guests of honor will be former IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi, FIDF National Director Maj-Gen (Res) Jerry Gershon, FIDF chair Nily Falic and FIDF National President Julian Josephson. Saban, one of the IDF’s biggest donors, is the chairman of the annual gala for the fifth year in a row. Some $8.8m was raised last year to support a variety of programs for Israeli soldiers.
Jason Alexander , aka Greenspan, when he’s not raising money for soldiers is “a prominent public supporter of the OneVoice initiative, which seeks out opinions from moderate Israelis and Palestinians who want to achieve a mutual peace agreement between their societies.” I wonder if he would be willing to raise money for an armed defence force for the Palestinians or maybe even the Americans.
