Over 4,000 individuals, including prominent actors and filmmakers, have signed a boycott of Israeli film and television industry workers, citing alleged genocide and apartheid against Palestinians. The boycott targets institutions receiving government support. Israeli industry leaders counter that the boycott is misguided, harming those most critical of the government and advocating for peace. They argue the boycott unfairly singles out Israel compared to other nations with human rights concerns. The boycott's signatories haven't publicly addressed similar concerns about other countries.
