Acclaimed Director Quentin Tarantino Visits IDF Base in Southern Israel to “Boost Morale”
Edited by: TJVNews.com
Acclaimed film director Quentin Tarantino paid a recent visit to a military base in Southern Israel to help “boost morale” amid the state’s war with Hamas, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Tarantino, 60, who gained critical acknowledgement for his directorship of the film “Pulp Fiction” starring John Travolta, toured Israel Defense Forces military bases and talked with soldiers, according the international nonprofit Israel education organization Stand With Us, The Hollywood Reporter said.
First, the Israel War Room X (formerly known as Twitter) account shared an image of Tarantino meeting with Israeli troops in the wake of Hamas’ devastating October 7th terrorist attack, which killed more than 1,400 people and left over 3000 wounded, The Hollywood Reporter said. The terrorist group is also reportedly holding at least at least 199 people as hostages in Gaza.
“Breaking: Legendary filmmaker Quentin Tarantino visits an Israeli base in southern Israel to boost IDF [Israel Defense Forces] morale,” read the initial post, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The Hollywood reporter article also said that Stand With Us, a nonprofit organization that takes a hard line stance against anti-Semitism, posted a photo of Tarantino’s visit with a caption that read: “A bright moment during a dark time: Legendary filmmaker Quentin Tarantino showed his solidarity with the Israeli people by making a surprise visit to southern Israel, which has been completely devastated by Hamas’ ongoing terror war. There, he toured military bases and mingled with soldiers and residents, igniting a social media frenzy of selfies and videos. What a beautiful way to show support.”
The IDF has been preparing for a possible ground invasion into Gaza to fight those responsible for the attack — which has been called the worst mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust — as well as to try and rescue hostages, who include children and elderly people taken from their homes during Hamas’ surprise incursion into southern Israel, as was noted by The Hollywood Reporter.
Tarantino has been reportedly living in Tel Aviv with his wife, Israeli singer Daniella Pick, whom he met in Israel in 2009 during his promotional tour for Inglorious Bastards, as was indicated in The Hollywood Reporter. The couple were married in 2018 and have two children.
Tarantino has said in previous interviews about his life in Israel: “I love the country, and the people are really nice, very nice to me, and they seem excited that I’m here,” and said Tel Aviv is like a smaller version of L.A., with “magnificent restaurants, cool bars, cool clubs,” as was mentioned in The Hollywood Reporter. He added, “I wouldn’t make a movie about the political climate in Israel.”
