After TIFF pulled The Road Between Us, a film showing Hamas’ own footage of the October 7 massacre, citing “unmet legal clearance requirements,” — which was not the real reason they pulled the film —- massive public pushback forced them to reconsider.
We at CCFP thank the entire entertainment community who stood up and demanded the truth be seen. Your voices are making a difference! Now we still need to see a proper apology from the leaders of TIFF to the Jewish community for all the harm and damage they have caused.

The Toronto International Film Festival has pulled The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue because the filmmakers didn’t get “permission” from Hamas to use the terrorists’ own footage, footage they filmed while massacring innocent civilians and proudly broadcasting it to the world.
Let’s be clear: Hamas is not some moral, respectable authority. It is a genocidal terror organization responsible for mass murder, rape, and kidnapping. Demanding their “approval” is obscene. It hands power to the very perpetrators of the atrocity and silences the voices of Jewish survivors. TIFF’s decision rewards intimidation, legitimizes terrorists, and betrays the principle that truth must be told, especially when the criminals themselves put it on camera.

At his statue unveiling, NFL legend Tom Brady sent more than a sports message, he sent a moral one. Wearing the blue “Stand Up to Jewish Hate” pin 🟦 in front of a packed Gillette Stadium, Brady made it clear that he stands with the Jewish community at a time when antisemitism is on the rise.
In that moment, Brady used his platform to do what far too many public figures avoid: show unapologetic solidarity with Jews under attack. Symbols matter, and his choice to wear that pin was a public stand for safety, dignity, and the right of the Jewish people to live free from hate.

Mohamed Hadid once again use his platform for antisemitic purposes. This is not “criticism of Israel,” it is open antisemitism. Calling for the destruction of the only Jewish state is calling for the destruction of Jewish safety, identity, and self-determination. It is a demand to make Jews vulnerable once again in a world that has proven it will not protect them.
The “violence” he pretends to condemn is Israel defending itself against terror groups whose stated goal is the extermination of Jews. Yet Hadid proudly amplifies that goal, echoing the Hamas charter’s call to erase Israel.
And his claim about “targeted journalists”? The people he defends have been identified as Hamas operatives, using press vests to shield themselves while actively aiding attacks. That is not journalism, it is propaganda for terrorism.
This is not justice, it is hate. It is the same ideology that fueled pogroms, expulsions, and genocide, now dressed up for Instagram. Every Jew, Israeli or not, should recognize it for exactly what it is.

Madonna is using her platform to call attention to the suffering in Gaza while also recognizing the pain of Israeli families whose loved ones are still being held hostage. In a message to Pope Leo XIV, she urged him to visit Gaza and bring hope to its children, but she also made clear that “the mothers of the hostages” are suffering too and prayed for their release.
The humanitarian crisis cannot be separated from the fact that Hamas continues to hold innocent Israelis in captivity, starving and abusing them and until they are home, there can be no real peace or healing.

Eurovision celebrated Israel’s finalists Eden Golan, Noa Kirel, and Yuval Raphael in a video proudly displaying the Israeli flag. Then, just hours later, the post vanished. Why? Because the comment section was flooded with political hate and open antisemitism from those who cannot accept that Israelis have the right to stand on the same stage as everyone else.
Whether the deletion came from the platforms or the European Broadcasting Union, the message it sends is dangerous: give in to hate mobs, and silence Jewish voices. Music should unite, not erase. Caving to antisemitic pressure is not neutrality, it is complicity.

Kudos to Bono for using his platform to condemn Hamas, acknowledge the pain Jews have endured, and call for the immediate release of Israeli hostages. But his claim that Israel uses starvation as a weapon ignores the documented truth, tons of aid sit rotting at the Kerem Shalom crossing, blocked from reaching Gazans because the UN refuses to distribute it. The starvation is not Israel’s doing, and the world deserves to hear that too.
