CCFP Statement on Current Situation – June 2025

Creative Community for Peace (CCFP) stands firmly with Israel’s right to defend itself and its citizens against existential threats. 

Iran is not only a threat to Israel—it is the single most destabilizing force in the region and a global sponsor of terror. Through its support for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and its tyrannical oppression of its own people, the Iranian government has fueled war, extremism, and suffering across the Middle East. And a nuclear-armed Iran would present an existential threat not only to Israel, but to civilians in the entire region.

Israel, like any sovereign nation, has both the right and the duty to defend its citizens. The strikes on Iranian military assets are a defensive response aimed at degrading Iran’s nuclear capabilities. 

Throughout history, Iran has used moments like this to attack Jewish communities around the world. At this tenuous moment, we call on our colleagues in the entertainment community to stand with the Jewish community and use their platforms to encourage peace.

The Creative Community For Peace letter calls for the end to “lies designed to demonize Israel and the Jewish people.”

Nearly 400+ people in the entertainment industry signed an open letter calling for “a rejection of extremist rhetoric and the spread of misinformation.” 

The Creative Community For Peace (CCFP) released a letter signed by hundreds of creatives calling for an end to “lies and antisemitic incitement” in the fallout of the Israel-Hamas War

“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 text of the letter reads. 

Some of the signatories included Mayim Bialik, Debra Messing, Sharon Osbourne, Jerry O’Connell, Patricia Heaton, and Uzo Aduba.

Anti-Zionist protests affect Jewish lives

The letter went on to note the effects of the war, noting the shooting of two Israeli embassy workers in Washington DC earlier this month. It also stated that the signatories believed that many people in Hollywood had been “manipulated by the constant stream of misinformation.”

The CCFP letter noted that the signatories believed that recent waves of anti-Zionist and anti-Israel protests directly endangered Jews around the world. 

“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,” the statement read.
