Helen Mirren Explains Why She Ignores BDS Pressure, Praises Israel
(Algemeiner) Shiryn Ghermezian - British actress Dame Helen Mirren, 78, who plays former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir in the recently released film "Golda," told Israeli media outlet N12 that she ignores requests not to go to Israel or participate in Israeli projects because she's "met such extraordinary people" in the country. "I know that there is a foundation of deep intelligence, thoughtfulness, commitment [and] poetry even in Israel that is very, very special." "I believe in the existence of Israel, and I believe Israel has to go forward into the future for the rest of eternity. And I believe in Israel because of the Holocaust," Mirren said.
