Richard Dreyfuss, star of the troll repellent masterpiece “Mr. Holland’s Opus,” will be the host at the festivities in Geneva next week as the starry-eyed Israeli left and Palestinian liars trot out their latest bogus “peace plan:” US actor Richard Dreyfuss to host launch of Geneva Initiative.

GENEVA (AFP) - US actor Richard Dreyfuss will host the launch of an alternative Middle East peace plan in Geneva next week before a rare audience of celebrities, business heads and ordinary people from both sides of the conflict, officials said.

The 56-year-old acted in Stephen Spielberg’s 1975 “Jaws” as well as the science fiction tale “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”.

“Richard Dreyfuss will run the ceremony,” said Ghaith Al Omari, a representative from the Palestinian delegation who helped to draft the so-called Geneva Initiative.

Monday’s ceremony, which is due to last two hours, will attract about 700 people, including 200 from the Israeli and Palestinian sides, representing “all sectors of civil society,” said Daniel Levy, an official from the Israeli delegation.

Among the participants from Israel would be members of parliament, former officials from the security services, artists, writers and even a celebrated chef “provided you let us have him back,” Levy quipped at a news conference.

The same sort of diversity was expected from the Palestinians.
