Iconic host Jay Leno, who is headed to Israel to emcee the first Genesis Prize award ceremony, said Friday he saw himself as “pro-Israel” and “pro-Jewish”, according to Fox News.
Leno, for whom it will be his first trip to Israel, said he didn’t have “any problem” with his decision to perform in Israel, despite growing calls on famous artists by many pro-Palestinian Arab activists to boycott the Jewish state.
“It’s a great honor. It’s a great country. It’s a great people,” he said, adding that while he sees both sides of the Israeli-Arab conflict, he considers himself to be “very pro-Jewish, very pro-Israeli.” Leno himself is not Jewish.
“At some point in your life, you have to sort of take sides. I tend to side with the Jewish point of view on many things, especially issues like this one. I realize how important Israel is,” said Leno, according to Fox News.
