Over 4,000 Hollywood figures, including renowned actors and filmmakers, signed an open letter pledging not to work with Israeli film institutions implicated in Palestinian human rights abuses. The Film Workers for Palestine initiative cites the International Court of Justice's rulings on Israeli actions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The pledge targets institutional complicity, not individual Israelis, drawing inspiration from similar boycotts against apartheid South Africa. This action reflects a growing shift in public opinion regarding Israel's military operations in Gaza, despite backlash against those who criticize Israeli actions.
