Over 1,800 internationally known actors, directors, and film professionals pledged on 8 September to boycott Israeli film institutions that are “implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.”
The pledge, released by Film Workers for Palestine, states, “As filmmakers, actors, industry workers, and institutions, we recognize cinema’s power to shape perceptions. In this urgent crisis, where many governments enable the carnage in Gaza, we must address complicity in this unrelenting horror.”
It highlights that the International Criminal Court (ICC) has determined a “plausible risk of genocide” in Gaza and describes Israel’s occupation and apartheid policies as unlawful.
Maybe. The important thing is to participate in this boycott. After that, it’s ok do all the silly things in the world!
