Over 1,200 entertainment figures signed an open letter opposing a boycott of Israeli films initiated by Film Workers for Palestine. The letter, supported by stars like Liev Schreiber and Debra Messing, criticizes the boycott as misinformation, advocating for censorship and the erasure of art. It highlights that many Israeli filmmakers are critical of their government and that the boycott is discriminatory. The original pledge, signed by approximately 5,000 individuals, accuses Israeli film institutions of complicity in the Gaza conflict.
