Some of the American stars and leaders of the film industry signed a letter in support of cooperation with Israeli colleagues, calling the boycott “misinformation” and discriminating.
More than 1,200 representatives of the American film industry said they refused to join the Israeli boycott, despite calls by colleagues from the Kinopraziwn Group for Palestine. About this writes to the Guardian.
The appeal was signed by non -profit organizations of the creative community for peace and brigade. The letter states that Boycott, initiated by supporters of the Palestinian movement, is a “disinformation document”, as a significant part of Israeli artists and television manufacturers “often criticize their own government policy.”
“We know the power of the cinema. We know the power of history. That’s why we can’t keep quiet when the story becomes a weapon when lies are masked under justice, and artists are misleading so they can boost anti -theme propaganda,” the statement said.
Among the signators are actors Liev Shriber, Mayim Byikal, Jennifer Jason Lee and Debra messing. The latter emphasized: Boycott of artists only because of the country of origin is discrimination and “treachery of the role of historians.”
Remember that in early September, about 5 thousand Hollywood numbers, including Emma Stone, Joaquin Phoenix, Olivia Kolman and Mark Ruffalo, called for the Boycott culture of Israeli institutions. Their statement said that these organizations were “Palestinian human rights violations related to the Palestinians.” At the same time, the document did not have a mention or condemnation of Hamas, which caused a wave of criticism from Israeli film makers.
Paramount Studio also expressed his position. The company said the restrictions of artists because of their nationality “do not contribute to the world”, while the worldwide recreation industry should contribute to “greater coherence and dialogue, and not less”.
Earlier it was reported that EBU announced a mechanism for resolving the scandal around Israel’s participation in the Eurovision International Song Contest.
