Quentin Tarantino visits IDF forces (screenshot from
Economic Times video)
Oscar winning filmmaker Quentin Tarantino is doing his part to keep up morale in Israel at this time of national crisis. Tarantino was photographed visiting Israeli towns in the south of the country near Gaza as well as IDF soldiers in the days after the barbaric attack perpetrated by Hamas on October 7. And the Walt Disney Company donated $2 million in humanitarian aid to those suffering.
He has been married to Israeli model and actress Daniella Pick since 2018.
Quentin Tarantino is not a social media person. He is not like other celebrities who feel compelled to post pictures of themselves and make comments about what is happening in the world 24 hours a day. So he shared no such images of his visits to the south of Israel. But Israelis were quick to take pictures and to share them on their social media accounts.

Quentin Jerome Tarantino (born March 27, 1963) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, actor, and author. His films are characterized by stylized violence, extended dialogue including a pervasive use of profanity, and references to popular culture.
As for Disney, Robert A. Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, issued a statement saying, “In the wake of the horrific terrorist attacks targeting Jews in Israel this past weekend, we must all do what we can to support the innocent people experiencing so much pain, violence, and uncertainty – particularly children.”
“We condemn these attacks, the hate that motivated them, and all acts of terrorism,” he added, “and we will continue working to find more ways to provide support in the region, and to honor the victims, their families, and all those affected by this war.”
Disney is donating $1 million to Magen David Adom, an affiliate of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies that provides emergency medical and blood banking services in Israel, and $1 million to other nonprofit organizations working in the region, particularly those with a focus on providing aid to children.
