Earlier this week, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt visited the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C in part to promote Jolie’s directorial debut, “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” a love story set during the Bosnian War.
While there, Gil Tamari, the Washington bureau chief for Israel’s Channel 10, asked the famous movie stars for their opinion on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Tamari: I wondered, do you see yourself in the future doing also a story about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
Jolie: Israel and Palestine; I have not spent time there. I would like to spend more time.
Tamari: Would you like to come and visit and see the situation yourself?
Jolie: Of course, of course. There’s no good reason I haven’t been.
Tamari: Do you have any idea about the current situation and maybe some ideas how to solve the conflict?
Jolie: Do I? I wish I had the perfect answer for you. I wish I knew how to solve it. If I feel that I could help in any way, if I felt like I could be a part of the solution I’d like to help be a part of the solution, not just visit.
Tamari then turned to Brad Pitt to get his thoughts on his “wife’s” (The couple is not married) movie:
Pitt: I’m really proud of her. It’s difficult subject matter, it’s something I think stands above the normal movie fare.
Tamari: Do you see her doing stories about other conflicts, maybe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
Pitt: It’s really her main interest. She works on it every-day, diligently. Yes, absolutely.
