Jon wrote Obama an open letter claiming he's lied to the Jewish people, propagandized Israel and brought to Arizona a civil war. Read out the letter (via X17online) below and tell us if you agree...
President Obama:
You will be the first American president that lied to the Jewish people, and the American people as well, when you said that you would defend Israel, the only Democratic state in the Middle East, against all their enemies. You have done just the opposite. You have propagandized Israel, until they look like they are everyone's enemy — and it has resonated throughout the world. You are putting Israel in harm's way, and you have promoted anti-Semitism throughout the world.
You have brought this to a people who have given the world the Ten Commandments and most laws we live by today. The Jewish people have given the world our greatest scientists and philosophers, and the cures for many diseases, and now you play a very dangerous game so you can look like a true martyr to what you see and say are the underdogs. But the underdogs you defend are murderers and criminals who want Israel eradicated.
You have brought to Arizona a civil war, once again defending the criminals and illegals, creating a meltdown for good, loyal, law-abiding citizens. Your destruction of this country may never be remedied, and we may never recover. I pray to God you stop, and I hope the people in this great country realize your agenda is not for the betterment of mankind, but for the betterment of your politics.
With heartfelt and deep concern for America and Israel,
Jon Voight

After years of estrangement, Jon and Angelina reunited in Venice, Italy in February, and Jon couldn’t be more thrilled about being back in their lives.
“Every stage in your life has delights, thank God. And also dramas,” Jon told Hollyscoop at the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time movie premiere in Hollywood on Monday.
“Oh my gosh being a grandfather is the most wonderful thing, it really is,” he added with a smile.
Jon Happy to Be Reunited With Angelina
When asked when he’s going to see his many grandchildren again, he said, “I hope to see them soon.”
So who opened up the lines of communication between them? “We did together,” said Jon. It was clear that this once outspoken man is now trying to remain as private about his daughter as possible, which is why he simply replied “I don’t know,” when asked if his famous daughter plans to adopt again.
Angie cut Jon out of her life after he made a comment about her mental well being when she adopted little Maddox from Cambodia in 2001.
It's nice to see he and Angie finally able to reconnect after all these years. They may always have their differences, but it's important for the children to know their grandfather. We're sure they love him!

The family is currently in Venice, Italy where Jolie is shooting her movie The Tourist, and Jon spoke with Us Weekly about the reunion. "It's nice to have something that's positive!" Voight said.
He also said their boat ride down the ancient city's Grand Canal was "lovely...the weather wasn't so bad for the journey. It's a very beautiful trip. A lot of fun."
Voight also added that he's hoping this won't be his only vacation with the fam. "I love the possibility of spending time with the family. It's a very beautiful thing," he said.
As for those Angie-Brad break-up rumors, Jon says they're nothing but "rubbish. Exactly right," Voight said. "Of course they are! You can see!"
Glad to hear things are well in their family life!

Jolie and her estranged dad stepped out in public for the first time since 2001 this weekend in Venice.
Jolie, Voight, Pitt and the kids looked like a big happy family enjoying time together on a boat trip down the city's Grand Canal.
A source said: “Since Brad and Angelina have been together, he has been encouraging her to smooth things over with her dad. And when it comes to the kids, Brad wants them to know their grandfather the way the kids know his parents.”
Jolie cut Voight out of her life after he made a comment about her mental well being when she adopted little Maddox from Cambodia in 2001.
Jon said at the time: “I haven't come forward and addressed the serious mental problems she has spoken about so candidly to the press over the years, but I've tried behind the scenes in every way.”
He's been trying to make amends for years, and it looks like Jolie has finally come around to forgiving him.
With all the breakup and 'Jolie Depressed' rumors we've been hearing in the past few months, it's great to see that she's finally letting her father back into her life. Her kids deserve to know their grandfather.

When asked about the breakup rumors, Jon said, “Nonsense. It’s all made up stuff.”
Keep in mind that Angelina has had a very rough relationship with her father. They hadn't spoken to each other in years, until recently, and he doesn't play an active role in her life.
But regardless of him denying the split, the rumors continue to swirl. According to several media outlets, they decided to go their separate ways earlier this month and have hired lawyers to draw up paperwork so they can share custody of their six children.
If the rumors aren't true, why don't Brad and Angelina just release a statement denying them? There's definitely something fishy going on! What are your thoughts on the alleged split?

Angie cut off communication with her dad in 2001 after he appeared on Access Hollywood begging her to get help for her “serious mental problems.”
But according to Jon, they’ve been talking since February. "We're in touch, but not regularly," Voight says. "We love each other and that's the most important thing."
A friend of the family says they’ve even talked face-to-face, and that Angie has her man to thank for that. "Angie made the initial contact," says the pal. "Brad has been supportive - a key factor in her reaching out."
It’s been years since Jon made that statement, which we’re sure he regrets doing now. And it’s nice to see they’ve reconciled for the children’s sake. Hopefully Angelina is trying to help them to have a relationship with their grandfather.

According to Jon, his daughter Angelina Jolie, who won the Best Supporting Oscar in 1999 for Girl, Interrupted, was even convinced Kate was going to take home the Oscar.
Voight said, "It was Kate's night, as Angie had said actually - she said she thought it was gonna be Kate's night and it's wonderful to see.
"Ange is a pro, she knows what's going on, she's been there before, she's gotten the award before. She's an experienced person and she knows that it can go any way. All of them have to be prepared... (even) Winslet said she was practicing to look dignified if she lost."
Were you surprised Kate took home the Oscar? She's been nominated six times and it was her first win. In case you missed the big show, you can check out the nights winners here.

Hollyscoop caught up with the actor at the 'Body Of Lies' movie premiere in New York City where he talked about his new flick, his famous daughter Angelina Jolie, and her new twins.
On whether he would work on a film with Angelina, Jon said, "Wouldn't that be nice? I hear her new movie, which opens the same day we do, is great. I hear she's wonderful in it."
Movies aside, we wanted to know if Jon has seen Jolie's new twins yet to which he replied, "No, I have not."
We're rooting for an on (and off) screen reunion as well Jon, but until then, check out our interview with Jon Voight at the 'Body of Lies' premiere below...

Jon says:
Answer to Roseanne Barr's Rant:
We can never be surprised at what vile evil comes from the mouth of a confessed victim of child abuse at the hands of her own parents.
Her parents responded to the accusation by going on the air and slating she is a psychopathic liar and her sister agreed.
Her defaming of our National Anthem in 1990 gave us insight into who she is and what she is capable of saying and doing.
My allegiance to Senator McCain becomes stronger with any assault that tries to deter my loyalty to him.
I can only pray that good people see her for what she is (sick of mind).
-Jon Voight
Wow! Talk about a zinger! John really dug his nails in deep on this one. Is this a desperate attempt to regain love from Angelina and to become closer to his grandkids, or is this what any father would do to defend his daughter?

Jon said he was "over the moon" and couldn’t wait to receive a phone call inviting him to meet the latest addition to the Brangelina bunch.
Hollyscoop caught up with the actor at the 'Pineapple Express' movie premiere in Westwood on Thursday and he told us exclusively that he has not been in contact with his daughter. ”No I haven’t talked to her, no.”
Grandpa Voight also confirmed that he's still waiting--just like the rest of the world--to see his new grandkids. Looks like reconciliation is far in the books for Voight and Jolie.
