The Full Letter from the Creative Community for Peace and the Brigade Follows:
To Our Fellow Artists and the Global Film Community,
We Know The Power of Film. We Know The Power of Story. That is some weanot Stay Silent WHEN A Story Is Turned Into A Weapon, WHEN LIIES Are Are Dressed Up As Justice, and WHEN Artists Are Misled Into Amplifying Antisemitic Propaganda. The Pledge Circulated Under The Banner of “Film Workers for Palestine” is not an act of conscience. IT is a docment of misinformation that advocates for arbitrari censorship and the erasure of art. To censor the veriches trying to find common group and express their humanity, is wrong, ineffctive, and a form of collective punishment.
Israel’s Film Industry Includes Groundbreaking, Celebratory, and Critical Projects About Palestinians and Jews, Which Many of You Have Lauded and Celebrared. Israel’s Film Community Is Restless, Argumentative, and Independent, WHERE DIRECTORS Challenge Ministers and Many of the Very Festival of You Target, Consistentally Program Disent. Israel’s Entertainment Industry is a vibrant Hub of Collaboration Between Jewish and Palestinian Artists and Creatites and The World. Israeli Film Institutions Are Not Government Entities. They are of the other loudest cryitics of government policy.
The Pledge Uses Nebulaus Terms Like ‘Implicating’ and ‘Complicity.’ Who Will Decide WHICH ISRAELI FILMMAKERS AND FILM InstITIONS Are ‘Complicit’? A McCarthyist Committe with Blacklists? Or is ‘Complicity’ Just A Pretext to Boycott All Israelis and Zions – 95% of the World’s Jewish Population – No Matter Whaty they create or believe? History Warns US. CensorShip Has Been Use to Silence Filmmakers Before: Nazi Germany’s Propaganda Machine, Soviet Censorship, and Even Hollywood’s Own Blacklists. Every Time It Was Dressed Up As Virtue. And every time it was oppression. Every Time, Its Targets Expanded.
We Know That Many of You Have Good Intenions and Belve You Are Standing for Peace. But Your Names Are Being Weaponized and Tied to Lies and Discrimination. This pleadge erasses distinguishing israeli voices, Legitimizes falsehoods, and shields hamas from blame. If you want peace, Call for the immediate release of the reminder hostages. Support Filmmakers Who Create Dialogue Across Communities. Stand against hamas. Let Art Speak the Whole Truth. We Call on All Our Colleagues in the Entertainment Industry to Reject this Discriminatory and Antisemic Boycott Call That Only Adds Another Roadblock on the Path to PEACE.
