400+ Entertainment Leaders Release Open Letter Calling Out Lies and Deadly Consequences of Anti-Israel Incitement

By May 28, 2025June 13th, 2025Press Release

Notable entertainment leaders from around the globe including Debra Messing, Julianna Margulies, Mayim Bialik, Sharon Osbourne, Jerry O’Connell, Patricia Heaton, Uzo Aduba, Sherry Lansing, Haim Saban, Rebecca De Mornay, Ynon Kreiz, Rick Rosen, Gary Barber, Ben Silverman, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Leo Pearlman, Diane Warren amongst many others, demand an end to amplification of anti-Israel propaganda.

LOS ANGELES, May 29, 2025 — More than 400 entertainment leaders signed an open letter released by the non-profit entertainment industry organization Creative Community For Peace (CCFP) calling for a rejection of extremist rhetoric and the spread of misinformation.

The letter comes in response to the deadly shooting of two young people outside a Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. and after the release of multiple open letters from the entertainment and literature communities filled with fallacious claims and incendiary accusations.

Actress Mayim Bialik said: “History repeats itself: peddling lies about Jews has deadly consequences. For the past two years, public figures and influencers with millions of followers have consistently promoted fallacious and menacing anti-Israel propaganda masquerading as advocacy. This stream of lies against the Jewish people and the Jewish ancestral homeland has now – unsurprisingly to anyone watching closely – turned deadly in the United States. This moment requires public figures to use their platforms responsibly. We implore these individuals to lend their voices to those of moral clarity, peace and tolerance, instead of division, distortion and delegitimization.”

Since October 7th, the rhetoric and actions from anti-Israel activists around the globe routinely embrace extremism and antisemitism.

Following the shooting in Washington, D.C., the suspect repeatedly yelled, “Free Palestine,” showcasing how the anti-Israel movement has been radicalized to violence.

Saban Capital Group Chairman and CEO Haim Saban said: “When public figures accuse Israel of genocide, call for intifada, or claim Jews are colonizers, they may not understand the history they’re invoking — but the people who act on those words often do. This open letter is a plea for truth, for accountability, and for responsibility — especially from those with powerful platforms.”

The letter highlights how celebrities unknowingly platform dangerous propaganda, “Some well-meaning celebrities and public figures have been manipulated by this constant stream of misinformation, which they have also helped to amplify.”

CCFP Chairman/Co-Founder David Renzer and Executive Director Ari Ingel said, For the past 600 days, the anti-Israel movement has espoused an unrelenting stream of extremist rhetoric to demonize Israel and anyone who supports the country — it’s a toxic mix of distortion, bigotry and incitement. Given the power of social media, it’s incumbent on entertainers and public figures, with their ability to influence millions around the world, to use their platforms responsibly. Without a course correction, we will only see more hate, more violence, and more innocent people targeted simply for being Jewish.”

The statement is the first of its kind – a call from the entertainment community to unequivocally condemn the anti-Israel movement’s role in scapegoating and endangering Jews around the globe.

The letter states: “Hamas, Iran, and their allies and ideological sympathizers in the West have flooded the world with their hateful lies and antisemitic incitement since October 7 — lies designed to demonize Israel, the Jewish people, and their supporters.”

The letter concludes: “We call on all our colleagues to reject this extremist rhetoric and the spread of misinformation so that we can all work toward a future in which all Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in peace and dignity.”

FULL OPEN LETTER

We, the undersigned, are saying enough! Enough with the lies, and enough with the extremism.

Hamas, Iran, and their allies and ideological sympathizers in the West have flooded the world with their hateful lies and antisemitic incitement since October 7 — lies designed to demonize Israel, the Jewish people, and their supporters.

Some well-meaning celebrities and public figures have been manipulated by this constant stream of misinformation, which they have also helped to amplify.

On May 21, 2025 we saw that these lies can have deadly consequences when two young people were murdered outside a Jewish Museum in Washington D.C., as the perpetrator chanted “Free Palestine” — a chant that has now become a call to violence.

War is horrific — where far too many civilians suffer — which is why even though Hamas launched wars against Israel in 2008, 2012, 2014, 2018, and 2021, the wars were short-lived.

But the gruesome Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023 changed everything.

Tragically, the suffering of civilians in Gaza is a strategy of Hamas, with one Hamas official stating that it is “a small price” to pay.

When Russia launched its war on Ukraine, it was the women and children that went underground in the metro system for safety while the men fought above ground.

In contrast, in Gaza —  after Hamas launched their genocidal war on Israel —  it was their fighters who went underground into the Gaza “metro,” while leaving women and children above ground to be used as their human shields.

This is a war Hamas started, and one that they can end by releasing the hostages, by laying down their arms, thereby freeing the Palestinians of Gaza from their tyrannical rule as well.

Yet, Hamas refuses to relent on their demand to have all of the land between the river and the sea cleansed of Jews, as they state in their own charter:

“The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: ‘O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.’ (Article 7).

The anti-Israel campaign shares this extremism.

The anti-Israel campaign refuses to hold Hamas accountable for the death and destruction caused by their illegal and repeated use of hospitals, mosques, schools, and UN facilities to launch attacks and shield their command centers.

The anti-Israel campaign refuses to acknowledge that the vast majority of “journalists” pumping out propaganda in Gaza are, in fact, members or supporters of the terrorist organizations themselves — even joining Hamas on October 7th to help broadcast their massacre inside Israel to the world.

The anti-Israel campaign spreads the antisemitic blood libel that the Jewish state – and all the Jews that support Israel – are bloodthirsty, intentionally targeting civilians, and committing “genocide.”

The anti-Israel campaign makes outrageous claims — such as Israel seeking to murder 14,000 babies in a 48-hour period — claims so egregious they should collapse under the weight of its own absurdity. Yet, these claims are amplified by the media, in addition to celebrities who share this disinformation to their millions of followers on social media.

The anti-Israel campaign claims that Jews are colonizers, when they are indigenous to the land of Israel and have the right to self-determination in their historical homeland as enshrined by the UN Charter.

We reject all these lies.

We reject the anti-Israel movement co-opting every social justice cause — outrageously claiming that to stand with the LGBTQIA+ community, or with anti-racist, anti-colonialist, anti-Islamophobic and anti-antisemitic movements, is to stand against Israel.

This is all done to paint Israel — and Jews around the world — as embodying the world’s ultimate evils. This is antisemitism.

We call on all our colleagues to reject this extremist rhetoric and the spread of misinformation so that we can all work toward a future in which all Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in peace and dignity.
