    He has a pretty good reason for being there in the first place. There is nothing wrong with having a good enough reason to go there. As long as you aren’t a coward about it.

    The article explains well what happened and i believe it shows his integrity.

    If you don’t believe me then keep scrolling the comments here to find out why he had a good reason to be there in the first place.

    A willingness to honor your commitments is not something we discourage. And not allowing yourself to be used to promote and be promoted by a terrible regime by sacrificing something you have committed to, openly and transparently is also something we should probably take good note of.

          He was just going to star in a show. That is as bad a reason as they come for going to Israel at the present time.

              I couldn’t give two shits about what it means to him. It is his act of going to Israel and star in a show which is important here. You can rationalise anything with words, but in the end it comes down to what you do, your actions not words.

              I have no idea what you are referring to. This quote seems pretty clear he was happy to perform in Israel.

              Malkovich, who is a leading Oscar contender for his role in Martin McDonagh’s Wild Horse Nine, was due to appear in The Music Critic, a theatrical-musical satire composed by the Jewish violinist Aleksey Igudesman, in Tel Aviv’s Charles Bronfman Auditorium on 13 April.
