What does it say that Gwyneth Paltrow is advertising luxury Israeli real estate?

JL;DR SUMMARY Gwyneth Paltrow is the face of a marketing campaign for 51Park, a luxury residential development in Herzliya, Israel, despite the ad featuring her in New York City. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.

Over the past couple of years, Israeli companies selling homes and land to Jewish Americans, often at fairs held in synagogues, have been a target for protests. Sure, Herzliya is not in the West Bank. But for an actor to wade into obvious controversy like this, especially when she has a new major project coming up starring as Belle Burden in an adaptation of the heiress best-selling memoir Strangers is a confusing choice."
