UPDATE: Thanks to thingofwonder I now have a translation of the interview:
IN: Interviewer NP: Natalie Portman [translation starts when they sit together at the hotel room] NP: I'm glad you came to my home [points to hotel room, laughing] IN: It's very pretty, this home of yours. NP: [laughs] I've always wanted to live here [in Israel] for a while, to see how it was, be
cause I left [Israel] at an early age and it was great [back then]. It was really fun. I studied a bit of Arabic and a bit about the history of Islam and the history of Israel, and Hebrew, obviously. I thought of maybe studying in Tel Aviv but I'm glad I decided [to study] in Jerusalem, because I re
ally had no problems with regards to [paparazzi] photographers. IN: [mumbled in background] [walking around the hotel room] IN: maybe you'll show us the view from your window? NP: [the view is] very beautiful. IN: are you used to hotel rooms? NP: yes. IN: what do you hate the most about hotel rooms?
NP: the heating [laughs]. IN: and what do you like the best about hotel rooms? NP: I most like the fact that they get cleaned for me. IN: let's got out to the porch so you can show us Israel. [talks to cameraman:] come over here, she's going to show us Israel. [outside on the porch] IN: what do yo
u think would've happened had you lived here? NP: [shakes head, not knowing what to say] IN: would you have been a completely different person? NP: I don't know, I don't know. IN: [mumbles] a denizen of Tel Aviv? You're used [to it]. You hang out here.. NP: [laughs] no, I'm a Jerusalemite! [back ins
ide the room] IN: what do you do in Jerusalem at nights? NP: I went out with friends to their apartments, to bars, restaurants, the movies. [Natalie is handed a bottle of Arak - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arak_(distilled_beverage)] IN: would you like to drink some Arak? NP: [laughs, places bottle
on table] no, I don't think I'll do that, it's a bad example for kids. IN: [mumbles] NP: If I have some effect [on children] I don't want it to be concerning alcohol [laughs]. IN: [holding remote in hand] have you seen "The Ambassador" [Israeli TV show] last night? NP: no. I've heard a lot about thi
s show, but I've never seen it. I've also heard about the show "A Wonderful Country" [Israeli Satirical show]. IN: [beginning of sentence cut in editing] Oscars, you're presenting as well as nominated for an award. NP: I will hand the award to the short documentary film. [at first she used the Engli
sh word Documentary, but then translated to Hebrew]. I'm excited about the ceremony and will be bringing my parents with me, so it'll be fun. IN: you're going with them? NP: yes. IN: do you have your outfit ready? NP: I don't know yet. I haven't had the chance to look for something. I get [back to t
he states] on Saturday and the ceremony is on Sunday, so they'll bring me lots of pretty dresses [to pick from]. IN: didn't you find anything nice at the Flea Market? [it's the actual name of a market in Tel Aviv, mainly for clothes and antiques]. NP: [laughs] no, [I can't wear] something hippie-lik
e from Israel. [cut to a montage from the movie "Leon"] IN: and you've been shooting this entire month here for a movie? NP: yes. IN: [a movie by] Amos Gitai. NP: yes. IN: what is its name? NP: "Free Zone". IN: [repeats the name] NP: I like doing different stuff, because it's good to change the way
you act and to try out new things. I really wanted to do a film in Israel. I really loved [names a few recent Israeli films]. IN: do you feel you're an Israeli? What percentage of you is Israeli? NP: yes, of course! Of course! In the states I feel like an Israeli and over here [in Israel] I feel lik
e an American. It's nice. People say artists need to always feel a bit like a stranger, because they have a different point of view than other people. It's good to be a stranger wherever [you go]. [standing in the middle of the room] IN: what will you do in your remaining nights here in the city [Te
l Aviv]? Will you go out and party? NP: no [laughs]. IN: you need to sleep in order to wake up at 5 AM? NP: yes, I'll be working everyday, including on Friday, the day I leave [for the states]. [woman in background]: so that's it? NP: yes. IN: but you're young, you need to have fun! NP: yes, I'm goi
ng to the Oscars, I'll be having fun! [laughs] but when working, one needs to concentrate. [saying goodbyes, then, at the door, signing autograph] NP: well, thank you very much. IN: Jonathan [to whom NP is signing, apparently] asked me to tell you he was eight [years old]. NP: awww... IN: but he's
[actually] twenty six. NP: [hands notepad back to IN] oh, so he's not really eight! [laughs] I don't really get the sarcasm [in Hebrew] yet. [continues talking but the French song overlaps].

çaise ! "Nathalie", song by Gilbert Bécaud.
It's not out of the question that people within a cultural group will help one another, but that doesn't mean that they are all of the same underlying agenda. The fact is that bad people will do anything to anyone (including their own) when it comes to power and money.
I believe she is very talented. Though I didn't particularly care for her roles in the StarWars movies I did like her performance in Closer, V is for Vendetta, and even Mr Magorium. What does your anger stem from? Were you once denied entry into the Hollywood ranks? Are you bitter about you inabi
lity to succeed?
i am just stating the truth: jews are racist and run hollywood. u don't have to have talant to make it ANYWHERE if your a jew...cause u have your jewish connection. isn't that right my zionist jewish little doctor?!! DOES IT HURT THAT THE WORLD WILL KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT U JEWS?!!!!
You're making stereotypical statements about people you don't even know (Natalie Portman)and I'm the racist. You call me a zionist (wrong), and then try to instill fear in me for being of such culture. I'm am very well educated (though not a doctor), yet it appears they will give a certificate to
just about anyone these days. You use the alias noracism11 yet you post continuously against a race. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE AN AGENDA!!!!!
