A Hollywood filmmaker who declared that love and not bombs was the way to fight ISIS may now get a chance to “hug it out” and prove his point.
Josh Fox is being challenged on his words following his argument that “only love stops hate, and bombings only create more ISIS.” The “Gasland” director tweeted his remarks after the U.S. dropped the “mother of all bombs” on an ISIS tunnel complex in Afghanistan last week.
Latest Bill O’Reilly accuser may look familiar, but her lawyer’s statement is truly an eye-opener
Atrocity. Murder. Abomination. When will we learn that only #love stops hate, and bombings only create more #ISIS? #moab #stoptrump

Love your enemy. Don’t create more of them. Teachers, diplomacy, culture and aid helps peace. Bombs don’t. #MOAB #murder #NoMoreWars

Filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney stepped up to help Fox make good on his words. The “FrackNation” directors have launched a crowd-funding campaign to raise money to send Fox to Afghanistan to “hug ISIS.”
Recently, @joshfoxfilm said sending love to ISIS is better than sending bombs. We’re helping him do just that. https://t.co/e3iaPB5Nv9 pic.twitter.com/VmahyXcZQy

“As journalists, our job is to call out those who demand others to do things they wouldn’t do themselves,” McAleer wrote on the donation page which met and exceeded its $2,500 goal in just one day.

“The fundraiser will pay for Fox’s airfare to Afghanistan, 2 nights in a hotel and a dozen roses so Fox can show ISIS how much he really loves them,” McAleer continued.
.@joshfoxfilm believes all ISIS needs is ❤️❤️❤️. We’re helping him prove that! https://t.co/brL1ZPFsmL @RedState @scrowder @benshapiro

Help out! Give to Send Josh Fox to Hug ISIS https://t.co/KYrZ0aZXTm. Raise funds on @generosity

And if Fox turns down the opportunity?
“If Fox refuses to go and turns out to be the hypocritical coward we believe him to be, then we’ll donate all the funds raised to the Wounded Warrior Project,” the page explained.
We will give @joshfoxfilm a month to accept- if his #loveyourenemy statements prove to be just another hypocrisy, the funds will go to @wwp.

“Fox has shown no indication of principles or spine in the past. He has literally run away from journalists asking tough questions, stormed out of interviews that didn’t pat him on the back, and, most notably, lied about a connection between breast cancer and fracking,” McAleer wrote.

“It’s time for Josh Fox to put his hugging arms where his mouth is,” he concluded.
The page continues to rack up the donations, currently over $2,800, as conservatives took to Twitter to help Fox spread the love.

@DLoesch @joshfoxfilm Sometimes…You just need an arsenal of love, and the resolve to implement it.

@KatiePavlich With all due respect, @joshfoxfilm, ISIS would separate your head from your torso faster than you could say hug.

@FrackNation @gasland @joshfoxfilm Hey, I hate ISIS as much as the next non-Democrat, but subjecting them to this snowflake will ABSOLUTELY create more terrorists.

@KurtHarlacher @KatiePavlich @joshfoxfilm
I will add a little more so he can even fly business class.
I think one way should be enough…
