Former adult film star Jenna Jameson has become an ardent supporter of the Jewish state and is constantly tweeting enthusiastic messages defending Israelis in these troubled times, the Ynet web site reported Monday.

The tweets include messages such as "Stay strong people of Israel in this dangerous time," "Imagine if you had to fear your children being stabbed" and "I stand with Israel - Obama does not speak for me."

Jameson has 652,000 followers on Twitter, much more than Prime Minister Netanyahu, whose messages she has retweeted several times.

When one of her followers asked why she supported an "apartheid regime which massacres women and children," she replied: "Sorry, I don’t speak the complete brainwashed terrorist language."

Jameson, 41, participated in 125 X-rated films. She retired from the industry in January 2008 after 17 years.

In June, she announced that she was going through a conversion process ahead of her marriage to Israeli fiancé Lior Bitton, who works in the diamond business in Los Angeles. She then began embracing her Jewish side by tweeting in Hebrew and posting pictures of kosher Shabbat meals.
