Barbra Streisand, Larry Ellison (who donates $10 million) and Pamela Anderson among guests at annual star-studded event
Hollywood A-list actors, politicians and tech moguls came together Thursday to raise a record-breaking $33.5 million for the IDF at a Los Angeles gala fundraiser.
Barbra Streisand, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Pamela Anderson were among the 1,200 guests who attended the annual Friends of the Israel Defense Forces event at which the unprecedented sum was raised.
“It is incredibly touching to see how advocacy for the FIDF has grown in Los Angeles,” said Haim Saban, the American-Israeli philanthropist who chaired the gala.
“The caliber of Gala attendees from Hollywood, tech, business and other walks of life — especially a large contingent of people without ties to Israel or Judaism — ultimately speaks to their admiration for the heroic men and women of the IDF and the incredible work that the FIDF does to support them,” Saban said.
Notable donations made at the event included $10 million from Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, $5 million from philanthropists Sheldon and Miriam Adelson, $5.2 million from Maurice and Paul Marciano of Guess Jeans, $3.6 million from Cheryl and Haim Saban and $2 million from New York Giants president Steve Tisch.
First time attendees Michael and Susan Dell donated $1.8 million to fund the educational scholarship programs for soldiers and veterans.
“In my mind, there is no greater honor than supporting some of the bravest people in the world, and I thank FIDF for providing us with this opportunity year-after-year to celebrate and support these soldiers,” said Larry Ellison. “These men and women come together with indefatigable purpose, to defend Israel and strive to co-exist in peace.”
One of the evening’s highlights was an address by Givati Brigade Lieutenant Eitan, who recounted his efforts to save the life of Lt. Hadar Goldin, a combat officer kidnapped and killed by Hamas during this summer’s Operation Protective Edge in the Gaza Strip.
The Friends of the Israel Defense Forces is a non-profit organization which provides educational, cultural and recreational activities for IDF soldiers, and supports the families of fallen soldiers and injured veterans.

makes me want to spew,,,’Americans’ raising money for foreign military.
And black is white; right is wrong; the sun revolves around the earth. Orwell turns. Time to boycott all of Hollywood – what sick people. Peter
Yeah, you’ll notice they don’t raise any money for the homeless, sick, maimed vets of their own country yet can afford to give the richest nation on Earth, per capita, even more money.
“Lt. Hadar Goldin, a combat officer kidnapped and killed by Hamas during this summer’s Operation Protective Edge in the Gaza Strip.”
A soldier is CAPTURED, not kidnapped,,….geez
These people make me want to puke. With Veterans’ Day coming up, they should have been raising money for American veterans who have been maimed in body and mind fighting proxy wars for Israel.
Whenever you hear the word “Philanthropist”,a Jew Billioniare is involved. Sheldon Adelson OWNS todays Republican party,and of course he flew in..the Gentiles there,were all sucking up for Jew Hollywood to give them the golden pass. I thought Jews did NOT own Hollywood ! The ADL will attack anyone who dares say so-False Flag operator Alex Jew Wife Jones,says “Arabs do!” WOW! Could they be lieing ? LOL LOL .
WOW!! UNBELIEVABLE!! Raising money for those murderers?? Like the Billions the US gives ’em isn’t enough??????? Guess suckin’ Jew ass is a requirement in H’wood.
Did Sheldon Adelson bring his Republican Puppets? Note to all-Barba Streisand is a big LIBERAL,but joined with the ‘Right-Wing’,Likud,and GOP backers to support the IDF-Israel. See how the Jew LEFT/RIGHT is merely a facade for Gentiles ? JEWS ARE NOT LEFT/RIGHT,but JEWS.They use ideology merely as a vehicle,and to divide the opposition into neat catagories. Just as Jews at the top,are far from Communists ,but backed the ideology to take down the Gentile world. Hollywood today,(And it was never too savory) is wholly a Jew machine with zero redeeming qualities. At one time,thJews feared the public a bit,and stood careful in what they pushed on us. The last 35 years,with,they have driven our culture into the ditch. Throw out your TV,and do not attend any films- make your own entertainment- through Computer etc..Classics,in books,music,art. Escape their matrix-create a paralle universe.
The Jew media has been decrying old,LAW-ABIDING,ex -SS men,who came lawfully,to the USA,after WW2,and became US Citizens. Accused of NOTHING,they minded their business,and built lives-and are collecting Social Security they earned. but ist is ok to send funds to to the vicious RACIST Aparteid IDF! The SS has all nationalities in it! More foreigners than Germans ! Can the Israelis say this ! See: BLACK NAZIS-You Tube-book Veronica Clark THE EPIC STORY OF THE SS – Leon Degrelle-You Tube.
I’ve never given any thought to Pamela Anderson, and so I have never wondered if she was a Jewess. Confirmation is vague. Her mother’s name was Grosco, which is not proof, but “Gross” is a common Jewish name. Anderson did marry a Jew in 2007, later divorced him, and married him again Jan 2014. They spent their honeymoon in Israel. Her Jew, Richard Salomon, is known for sleeping with various celebrity women (e.g. Paris Hilton) and filming them having sex with him. Then he distributes the videos for cash. Anderson divorced him again. If Anderson is not Jewish, then she attended the fundraiser as a form of begging Hollywood Jews for work. (“I know I’m pushing 50, but I’m about to be evicted from my apartment. Please help! I’ll do ANYTHING.”)

Agree with tony from Indiana. AmeriKans raising money for a country that kills many civilians and costs us even more money, there’s something wrong there. With so many suffering US vets home from the latest Arab war for israel, this money should be raised for OUR troops. Don’t these pieces of garbage get enough from our taxpayers???
AmeriKa is a tub of pathetic and brainless whores. Makes me sick.
They should be arrested and torched for supporting terrorists. Didn’t that scum bag Bush say “you are either with us or you’re with the terrorists? Israel is a terrorist state.
