CCFPeace - Creative Community for Peace

A Creative Community for Human Connection

Sometimes, the most creative act of a creative community is to gather people under the stars and enable the magic of human connection.

At a glittering gala the other night for Creative Community for Peace (CCFP), with 500 guests mingling under the stars at Haim Saban’s house listening to famous rockers, I reflected on the name of the organization.

Of course, any group with the word “peace” in its name can do no wrong. Indeed, on its home page, CCFP bills itself as a non-profit comprised of prominent members of the entertainment industry “dedicated to promoting the arts as a bridge to peace.”

Peace has always been the ultimate goal of conflict resolution. When we dream, we dream of peace. If you love life, you love peace. If you have peace, you can love life.

The enemy of peace is hate. In recent years, the special hate reserved for Israel has been a terrible enemy of peace. It has led to ugly boycotts of artists who try to perform in Israel. These boycotts kill peace.

And yet, for all my love of peace, what struck me at the gala the other night was not peace but something deeper. As I mingled through the crowd with a friend, we were immersed in human connection— in people engaging with one another.

At every CCFP event I’ve attended, this sense of human connection has stood out. The events are never static. You’re on the move meeting people and creating connections.

Given that CCFP has a serious mission to “educate about rising antisemitism” and “galvanize support against the cultural boycott of Israel,” where does this notion of human connections come in and how does it relate to peace?

As I see it, creating human connections is the ideal road to peace.

What CCFP creates, above all, are human connections.

When it supports artists who perform in Israel, it is creating connections.

When it gathers people from the entertainment industry to hear about its cause, it is creating connections.

When it steers clear of politics and focuses on the human power of art to bring people together, it is creating connections.

Creating connections is the action that helps “educate” and “galvanize support.” If peace is the dream, creating connections is the act that gives hope to that dream.

Sometimes, the most creative act of a creative community is to gather people under the stars and enable the magic of human connection.

That connection is what I felt the other night.

Righteous Among the Rockers

By Brian Fishbach

As antisemitism continues to rise, a group of musicians has stood up against the forces of hate and built bridges through their music.

In February, when American rock band Disturbed announced that they would be playing a show in Dublin, Ireland on Oct. 22, 2025, a petition circulated demanding the promoter cancel the show. The petition accused lead singer David Draiman of “championing the slaughter of Palestinian children” and called on “anti-colonizer” Ireland to tell him he wasn’t welcome.

By the time Disturbed took the stage on Oct. 22, the petition had reached over 10,000 signatures — roughly one for every person in the arena. The show went on as planned, and only nine days after 20 Israeli hostages were released from Hamas captivity in an exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

Over the past two years, Draiman has been among the loudest voices in rock music confronting antisemitism. The Jewish frontman has spoken publicly about Hamas’ atrocities and called for other musicians to do the same. After several of Matisyahu’s shows were canceled in early 2024 due to pro-Palestinian protests, Draiman launched a GoFundMe campaign that raised more than $29,000 to fund private security for him.

In June 2024, Draiman traveled to Israel, where he met with families of the kidnapped, visited the Hostages Families Forum offices in Tel Aviv and signed IDF artillery shells with messages directed at Hamas.

That same summer, he received the Jerusalem Post and World Zionist Organization’s Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Fight Against Antisemitism. Accepting it in New York, he said, “The world can seem like a very, very dark place these days. But it takes incredibly powerful light to dispel darkness, and it is up to each and every one of us to be that light.” He called on his peers to speak out: “We just experienced the worst Jewish loss of life since the Holocaust. Does something more impressive need to happen for you to finally open your mouths?”

Draiman later formed a friendship with former hostage and bereaved father Yarden Bibas, who was released from Hamas captivity on Feb. 1, 2025. Three weeks later, the dead bodies of Bibas’s wife, Shiri, and their sons, Ariel, four, and Kfir, one, were returned to Israel. During the Feb. 26 funeral at Kibbutz Nir Oz, Bibas played a recording of Disturbed’s “Hold on to Memories.” Draiman said of the song, “It was a song about the many colleagues that we’ve lost over the years — Chester Bennington (Linkin Park), Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots), Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave).” Bennington and Cornell both died by suicide in 2017, and Weiland died of a drug overdose in 2015. Yarden had two other metal songs played at the funeral, “I Thank you Child” by Ozzy Ozbourne’s lead guitarist Zakk Wyld, and “Roman Sky” by Avenged Sevenfold.

CCFP executive director Ari Ingel informed Draiman that the father, Yarden, was a fan of Disturbed and that one of his songs was played at the funeral. After being put in touch by CCFP, Draiman and Yarden began a friendship. When the two men met in person for the first time that July in Israel, Draiman wrote on Instagram, “This man is the living embodiment of strength and perseverance. One of the sweetest and purest human beings on the planet. The very best of us. Anything, anytime, anywhere, achi. All the love. #AmYisraelChai.”

Ireland’s relationship with Israel had already grown tense by the time Disturbed arrived in Dublin. The Irish government recognized a Palestinian state in 2024, joined South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice in early 2025 and watched Israel close its embassy in Dublin months later. Pro-Palestinian protests had become routine across Irish cities, while the country’s tiny Jewish community — roughly 2,000 people — reported feeling increasingly isolated. Against that backdrop, Draiman knew exactly what kind of audience he was walking into.

OCTOBER 22, 2025: DISTURBED CONCERT IN DUBLIN, IRELAND

That night in Dublin, Draiman addressed the tension.

“It’s good to be back in Dublin. This is the homeland for our guitar player, Mr. Dan Donegan. There’s something I need to remind everyone. There are many people in this world who want nothing more than to pull us apart from each other over and over and over again … Everyone is welcome, everyone is f—ing welcome at this show … I believe at the bottom of my heart that music is the best bridge building, cohesive, unifying element in the entire creation. And if there’s anything that can save the world, it’s the right f—ing music at the right time … sometimes darkness can show you the light.”

The crowd erupted. He didn’t say “antisemitism” or “Israel,” but everyone knew what he meant.

Among those in the audience was Ohad Levy, a 35-year-old Israeli studying electrical engineering in Dublin. He came for the opening act, Megadeth, but knew Draiman’s record of support for Israel.

Levy told The Journal that he expected Palestinian flags and anti-Israel signs but saw only one — which was quickly taken down. Like Draiman, he wore a Star of David around his neck. He has lived in Ireland for three years, his first language is Hebrew but he speaks English with an Irish accent. Levy said there were tears in his eyes during Draiman’s speech.

“The concert gives hope for the decent people amongst us. It’s a dream for me, I want to re-believe in society,” Levy said.

Before the Oct. 7 attacks, Draiman had already fielded calls from fellow musicians wary about scheduling concert dates in Israel.

“I reassure them and help them understand,” Draiman told the Journal in 2021. “You’re going to be dealing with a wave of s—. It’s temporary … the extremist voices are the loudest. There aren’t as many of them as you think.”

At a 2024 rally in the rain in Beverly Hills outside the offices of agent Ari Emmanuel, Draiman told The Journal that “Joseph Goebbels would’ve been very proud of the demonization we’re seeing, with all the implying that Jews drink the blood of victims of war … Music is about truth. It’s about standing up for who you are.”

When Hamas attacked southern Israel in 2023, one of their first targets was music lovers. Three hundred seventy-eight people were killed and 44 were abducted at the Nova Music Festival in Re’im. Israelis, tourists, and international DJs were still dancing when Hamas terrorists parachuted and bulldozed their way into the festival grounds starting at 6:29 a.m.

On the Wednesday before the attacks, Bruno Mars played for 70,000 people at Park HaYarkon in Tel Aviv. (A second show in Tel Aviv was scheduled for Oct. 8, but was canceled.) Mars and his crew fled Israel to Athens on Oct. 7, leaving without any of their instruments or production equipment.

Since that day, major music acts have yet to return to Israel. The Jewish State had long been a divisive tour stop for popular acts, but after Oct. 7 it became radioactive. Canceling concerts in Israel isn’t new. In 2011, when Elvis Costello called off his planned shows, Universal Music Publishing Chairman David Renzer saw a cultural boycott taking shape. Along with Steve Schnur, president of music at Electronic Arts, he founded Creative Community for Peace (CCFP) — a nonprofit of entertainment professionals formed to counter cultural boycotts and defend artistic freedom through dialogue and coexistence.

“We’re living in a time when antisemitism has reached levels that I’ve never seen in my lifetime,” Renzer told the Journal. “We must ensure that artists have the freedom to perform anywhere in the world without intimidation or fear …Our mission hasn’t changed. We continue to promote coexistence and build bridges through music.”

After Oct. 7, that mission took on new urgency.

****

Borrowing from “Righteous Among the Nations,” “Righteous Among the Rockers” are the musicians and massive industry figures who, in this time of rising antisemitism, have used their voices, risked their fanbases and took public stands against antisemitism. Plenty of executives have taken quiet stands and made big moves behind the scenes. One executive under the condition of anonymity told The Journal that they got a major entertainment publication to remove the word “genocide” from two articles about Israel. But it’s the boldface names that make the loudest noise — Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Gene Simmons of KISS and John Mellencamp have taken a stand. Indeed, both were among the biggest names to stand in solidarity with the Jewish people at CCFP’s annual Ambassadors of Peace (AOP) gala in October 2025.

MATISYAHU

In early 2024, Matisyahu traveled to Israel to meet and perform for soldiers, families of hostages and wounded civilians. He turned the experience into “Song of Ascent,” a concert documentary directed by Shlomo Weprin. It was filmed over two trips to Israel, where Matisyahu visited the site of the Nova Music Festival, walking through several devastated kibbutzim, and met survivors who lit memorial candles for the murdered. The film also captured the contrast between his time in Israel and his U.S. tour, where several shows were canceled amid protests — what he called a “cultural storm.”

“Hopefully it’s just a voice that my experience is similar to a lot of people’s experience — a lot of Jews after Oct. 7, and our connection with Israel and our struggle in America,” Matisyahu told The Journal. “We just documented that time period, and I think people will find some sense of hope and strength in it.”

FIVE FOR FIGHTING — JOHN ONDRASIK

John Ondrasik, who performs as Five for Fighting, is a UCLA alumnus who isn’t Jewish. Still, since Oct. 7, he has written, recorded and performed songs framing the massacre and hostage crisis as a test of conscience for the entire arts community.

In early 2024, he released a protest song, “OK (We Are Not OK)”; the song’s video juxtaposing footage from the Nova Festival and pro-Hamas rallies with his refrain, “This is a time for choosing.” “I’m just a guy who sees evil and doesn’t like it,” Ondrasik said. “We all have a role to play.”

For him, that role includes education. “We’re going to go to these schools, we’re going to support the Jewish kids — UCLA, USC. Nobody’s going to wear a mask or chant to anybody,” he said at the American Jewish Committee’s annual Kaufman Family Annual Meeting in June 2024. “The arts is how we win. The arts is how we fight this battle.”

Earlier this year, Ondrasik rerecorded his 2001 hit “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” as a tribute to Israeli hostage Alon Ohel, changing one lyric from “Find a way to lie, ’bout a home I’ll never see” to “Find a way to fly, to a home I will soon see.” He told The Journal that, “The boundless spiritual fortitude of the hostages and their families is beyond words … It felt right to change the lyric, to remind the world they are still there.”

When asked what drives him, he put it plainly: “It’s not just about being pro-Israel — it’s pro-civilization.”

SCOOTER BRAUN

No music executive has leveraged his influence more directly than Scooter Braun. Known for managing Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, and Demi Lovato, he is one of the few figures whose actions can bring music into global conversation.

Braun had experience with a music-world terror attack before.

“When Manchester happened,” he said, referring to the 2017 terrorist bombing at an Ariana Grande concert, “the whole world rallied. Here, the world abandoned them,” Braun said. He was 2.5 hours away in London at the time of the attack, and headed to Manchester as soon as he learned of the horrifying news. “This was never about politics. It was about humanity. Two things can be true. I should mourn for your family in Gaza the same way you mourn for these people.”

Braun helped bring “The Nova Music Festival Exhibition: October 7th, 06:29 a.m. — The Moment Music Stood Still” to New York and Los Angeles. It has since had installations in Miami, Washington, D.C., Toronto, and Boston.

The exhibit recreated the festival grounds near Re’im.

“Here I was standing in front of these kids [at the site] where over 400 were killed, and no one was saying anything … This is about seeing your daughter, your mother, your friends and speaking to others and demanding they see this,” Braun told The Journal.

In Los Angeles, the exhibit became a rallying point. Braun organized a vigil for six slain hostages found in Gaza. As the one-year mark of the attacks approached, the Nova Exhibit evolved into both a memorial and a meeting space for communal healing.

What also mattered was who Braun brought with him. Celebrities who might have otherwise stayed quiet — Cindy Crawford, Usher, Sia, Octavia Spencer, Kristen Bell, Jessica Alba, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, Sharon Osbourne, Will Ferrell and others — visited the exhibit. Even brief news stories about these visits put a spotlight on the tragedy that for so many was ignored or forgotten. Over its four-month run in Los Angeles, the Nova Exhibition drew more than 170,000 visitors. Schools across Los Angeles sent students, teachers and superintendents to see the installation.

At the Anti-Defamation League’s annual concert later that year, Braun spoke again:

“Innocent people dying at a music event is wrong,” he said. “These Nova survivors have given me the greatest gift … Something shifted since Oct. 7. They live by this mantra: ‘We will dance again.’ So I hope you’ll understand I’m done saying the negatives. I want to say again and again… we will be strong again. We will be proud again. We will dance again and again and again.”

DAVID FISHOF

The producer behind Rock ’n’ Roll Fantasy Camp — the program that pairs musically-inclined fans with rockstars for weekend jam sessions — is doing all he can with all the musicians he’s befriended over the years. The son of a Holocaust survivor and cantor, Fishof has long viewed music as a vehicle for connection. In early 2024, he invited 10 Israeli musicians affected by Oct. 7 to Los Angeles for a special camp session. The group included Nova Festival survivor Raz Shifer, reserve soldier Dov Engel, and Bar Rudaeff, whose father — a Magen David Adom volunteer — was later confirmed murdered in Gaza.

“I think the biggest issue we Jews have in America is what can we do? We all want to do something,” Fishof told The Journal. “So for me, I was able to do something.”

He didn’t tell campers or counselors about the Israeli guests, worried one might object. “I just needed one guy to say, ‘I didn’t pay money to come to a camp with a bunch of Israelis,’” Fishof said. “I was prepared to refund him and send him home.” Instead, when he introduced them on day one as “my heroes,” the campers gave a standing ovation.

One non-Jewish band in the camp renamed itself Tzuri — Hebrew for “Rock.”

Fishof said 85% of campers were not Jewish, and many had never met an Israeli before. “Do you use Waze? Do you use WhatsApp? Do you use Wix?” Fishof asked. “This all comes from Israel.”

After visiting Auschwitz months earlier, he saw the mission in personal terms. “The guy giving the tour was comparing Auschwitz to Oct. 7,” Fishof said. “It was smaller, but it was Auschwitz. I heard those stories from my father. But now to be able to do something — that’s why it was great.”

The Los Angeles camp, which ended March 17, 2024, became, in Fishof’s words, “the greatest one we ever did.” That camp featured jams with Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, as well as Warren DeMartini — guitarist for glam metal band Ratt. Singer Sebastian Bach (formerly of Skid Row) wore dog tags in honor of the hostages when performing with campers at the Whisky A Go Go.

Fishof will soon release a documentary about how helping Israelis heal with music is the “greatest, proudest accomplishment” of his music business career.

“None of it matters to me,” Fishof said. “I’m a Jew first. That’s the most important. But to be able to do something like that … I felt good when I did it.”

EUROVISION: ISRAEL TAKES THE HIGH ROAD

In 2024, Eurovision became appointment viewing in Jewish homes across the United States. The annual contest — a major event for all of Europe but not on the radar for music lovers in the U.S. — turned into the most positive week of social media posts amongst the Jewish people in the seven months since the attacks. In both years, following the performances of Eden Golan in 2024 and Yuval Raphael in 2025, a sense of pride and joy washed over the people in the Jewish community, who paid attention like it was “American Idol” Season 1.

Both Golan and Raphael were proudly Israeli and outspoken against antisemitism, but what made their presence historic was the timing — two talented musical artists, each barely in their 20s, standing on one of the world’s largest stages as the faces of a nation under siege. They both needed head-of-state level security to and from the Eurovision venues due to the outrage against Israel’s participation in the event. Still, they each took the high road, and even made friends backstage with some of the other performers. Golan’s “Hurricane” and Raphael’s “New Day Will Rise” are now considered anthems of resilience for Israel and Jews around the world.

Both singers finished in the top five through massive public voting support — from some of Europe’s largest countries, as well as votes from countries with miniscule Jewish populations. That result spoke for itself: audiences responded to the music, not the noise surrounding it.

In the process, Eurovision became an unexpected arena for pride in Jewish communities around the world. Golan and Raphael were thrust into the role of accidental ambassadors — untrained diplomats whose voices carried Israel’s heart and pain to millions of viewers. As of fall 2025, the debate still hasn’t quieted. There are still calls for Israel to be excluded from Eurovision in 2026. But German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that if Israel is banned from Eurovision, Germany will pull out (and take their 80 million citizens with them).

RED CARPET FRONTLINES

As political messaging seeped into awards season, some artists used the world’s biggest stages to turn performance into protest. At red carpets and televised ceremonies, “Artists4Ceasefire” pins, keffiyeh scarves and watermelon accessories became cultural battlegrounds. A handful of Jewish and pro-Israel figures answered in their own way.

Montana Tucker, the pop artist and influencer with millions of followers, has made Holocaust education and Jewish pride the center of her public life. In 2022, she created the ten-part docuseries “How To: Never Forget,” retracing her grandmother Lilly’s survival at Auschwitz. “A lot of people my age and younger don’t even know what Auschwitz is,” Tucker said. “Education is the only way we can stop history from repeating itself.”

Since then, she’s used her social media presence — TikTok, Instagram, and beyond — to reach younger audiences who might never otherwise encounter Holocaust history. “I realized how important it is to use my platform for something bigger than myself,” she said. Her partnerships with the Claims Conference and USC Shoah Foundation helped bring those lessons into classrooms and public spaces across the country.

After Oct. 7, Tucker shifted from remembrance to advocacy. “People are scared to say they’re Jewish right now. I want them to be proud,” she said. At the 2024 Grammys, Tucker walked the red carpet in a dress designed by Israeli fashion house MadeByILA, featuring a large yellow ribbon reading “Bring Them Home” — a reference to the hostages held in Gaza. Since then, she has continued using her platform for Holocaust and Israel awareness, later producing “The Children of October 7,” a documentary featuring young survivors who witnessed atrocities firsthand. Each of her public appearances — from film premieres to award shows — became a statement of Jewish pride and solidarity amid an industry often uneasy about Israel.

“You don’t have to be Jewish to stand up against antisemitism,” Tucker said. “Social media can spread hate — but it can also spread truth.”

Also at the 2024 Grammy ceremony, Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy and a past honoree of CCFP, used his appearance to reaffirm music’s role as a universal connector. Listing terror attacks that had targeted concertgoers — from Paris to Manchester to Las Vegas — he included the massacre at Israel’s Nova Music Festival.

“Every one of us, no matter where we’re from, is united by the shared experience of music,” he said. “It brings us together like nothing else can, and that’s why music must always be our safe space.”

He then introduced a string quartet composed of Palestinian, Israeli, and Arab musicians.

Sixteen-time Academy Award-nominated songwriter Diane Warren — another past honoree of CCFP’s Ambassador of Peace award — has remained outspoken. “Anything that has to do with Jewish people and is good means a lot to me,” Warren said. “It’s scary right now. You don’t think there needs to be armed guards at a synagogue in 2023.” She signed multiple CCFP open letters defending artistic freedom, supporting Israel’s inclusion in the Eurovision Song Contest and calling for compassion for all civilians while rejecting cultural boycotts. “Music and art is healing,” she said. “We’re Jews — we push on, we fight on.”

At the ADL’s 2024 Concert Against Hate in Washington, D.C., pop star Sia dedicated the song “Titanium” to survivors of the Nova Music Festival massacre, saying, “We will dance again,” as survivors joined her on stage. In New York, the Moscow-born singer/songwriter Regina Spektor wrote on social media on the day of the Oct. 7 attacks, “Killing Jews isn’t fighting for human rights. It never will be. It’s just murder. Love must prevail. Peace must prevail. Hope is always with us.”

At CCFP’s 2025 gala, KISS’ Simmons told reporters, “Jewish self-hatred is at an all-time high, which is astonishing. And I fully support the ‘they/them’ community, the Queers for Gaza, but they’re not informed. If you’re queer in Gaza you’re going to be ‘was/were.’ You’re going to be thrown off a building. Education is important.”

At the same event, Mellencamp took the stage to introduce Universal Music’s Bruce Resnikoff for an award and declared, “And to the Jewish haters, I say, f— you! Yeah, you need to open your eyes and remember the Golden Rule: What is hateful to you, do not do to others, and try to learn that ignorance is not a virtue.”

Before he passed away in July 2025, legendary Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon signed several open letters by CCFP supporting Israel after the Oct. 7 attacks. During the Nova Exhibit’s run in Los Angeles, Sharon frequently visited and spoke with survivors who were present to share their trauma.

A QUIETER CHORUS

It is not all sunshine and solidarity. But two years on, it’s important to look back at the horrific week of the Oct. 7 attacks and remember which music superstars publicly acknowledged the pain of the Jewish people. Regardless of what they’ve said since, their words then still hold value in the fight against antisemitism and using music to spread peace.

The blog IsraellyCool kept a scrapbook of screenshots from celebrities who publicly posted support within 24 hours of the Oct 7 attacks. Culture Club’s lead singer Boy George said, “When you hurt women, children and the elderly your cause is doomed. I stand with Israel.” Sara Bareilles wrote, “Now and always we stand with the people of Israel.” Others whose posts are archived on the blog include Josh Gad, Barbra Streisand, Justin Bieber, Samantha Ronson, and Jack Black.

On Oct. 12, 2023, CCFP circulated an open letter that called on the “global entertainment community” to “support artistic freedom and condemn the targeting of civilians.” Notable signers included Dee Snyder (Twisted Sister), John Fogerty (Credence Clearwater Revival), Peter Frampton, AJ McLean (Backstreet Boys), Ziggy Marley, Jason Derulo, Josh Groban and KISS’ Paul Stanley.

On Oct. 24, 2023, hundreds of entertainers signed a “No Hostages Left Behind” open letter to then President Biden thanking him for “unshakable moral conviction, leadership and support for the Jewish people, who have been terrorized by Hamas … and for the Palestinians, who have also been terrorized.” The letter also called for “freedom for Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace … and most urgently, freedom for the hostages.” Signers included Lana Del Rey, Madonna, Chris Jericho, Justin Timberlake, Lea Michele and Lance Bass.

From short posts to full letters, these artists publicly recognized antisemitism for what it was — even briefly — when silence was the safer option.

During Irish band U2’s 40-show residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Bono paused during a performance of “Pride (In the Name of Love)” to honor the Israeli concertgoers killed at the Nova Music Festival. “In the light of what’s happened in Israel and Gaza, a song about nonviolence seems somewhat ridiculous, even laughable,” he told the silent crowd. It was only the fifth show ever at Las Vegas’ new Sphere concert venue. “But our prayers have always been for peace and for nonviolence. But our hearts and our anger, you know where that’s pointed. So sing with us … and those beautiful kids at that music festival.” Then, as the band launched into the song, Bono altered the lyrics: “Early morning, Oct. 7, the sun is rising in the desert sky. Stars of David, they took your life but they could not take your pride.” Brandi Carlile, who was in the audience that night, said “Antisemitism is WAY too comfortable for people even in this country and I condemn it with my entire heart.”

Mere weeks after the Oct. 7 attacks, Pink, said “Any violence or hate-filled demonstrations taking place around the world are making the problem worse, not better.” Rush’s Geddy Lee said, “it was important to express the pain we were feeling watching this, what could be arguably called one of the worst massacres since World War II of the Jewish people.”

Throughout this year, there were still rockers in the music world taking a stand with Jewish people in peril and speaking out against boycotts. Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead) and Israeli singer Dudu Tassa said in May 2025, “Intimidating venues into pulling our shows won’t help achieve the peace and justice everyone in the Middle East deserves.” Smash Mouth’s Zach Goode was harangued by the anti-Israel Instagram account Zionists In Music for stating his solidarity with fellow Jews in a comment thread: “It’s a war. Kinda have to pick a side. … One side wants us dead.” In 2025, Rise Against frontman Tim McIlrath advocated for peace and specifically called for the hostages to be returned home: “I am part of the chorus of voices calling for an immediate ceasefire and release of all hostages. One life is one too many.”

After the last 20 hostages were released back to Israel on Oct. 13, Avenged Sevenfold (A7X) frontman M. Shadows showed how compassion could still cut through division. The band’s Israeli fan community on X had reached out to let them know that two of the freed hostages, Guy Gilboa-Dalal and Evyatar David, were longtime A7X fans who had been abducted from the Nova Festival. Shadows recorded a private video welcoming them home: “We’ve been following the story closely. We knew you guys were devoted A7X fans and we appreciate it so much. The things you guys have been through, it’s just unspeakable, terrible … hopefully we see you guys soon.”

Shadows later gave permission for the video to be shared publicly, saying, “If you think it would help, of course I’ll do it. We wanted to give them some sort of reprieve, some sort of relief or some sort of joy.” When some accused him of taking sides, Shadows told Rolling Stone, “It’s not something that I’m going to worry about; I know that it’s the right thing to do. I think you have to stick to your moral compass. To me, that video is just a human doing something for another human. It’s not making a political stance. It’s not sticking it in someone’s eye. It really is about two human beings that have been through hell. And if we can’t agree on that, it’s really hard to agree on anything.” He said the gesture came from grief, not ideology — two Israeli women the band befriended were murdered at the Nova festival.

Shadows said he respected Draiman “not just for where he stands, but that he believes in something and he’s full-force into it.”

The war’s politics will keep shifting, but what these artists did will outlast it. They sang, they showed up, they refused to stay silent. And for the people who lost everything that morning in the desert, that still matters. Because in moments when the world feels impossible to reach, it’s the people who make us dance who are often the best at helping us gain allies — the righteous among the rockers. As Draiman said, “if there’s anything that can save the world, it’s the right f—ing music at the right time. Sometimes darkness can show you the light.”

UMe’s Bruce Resnikoff Honored, John Mellencamp F-Bombs Antisemitism at Ambassadors of Peace Gala 2025

Read the original article here.

Mellencamp performed and got off the night’s most pointed line: “And to the Jewish haters, I say f—k you.”

By Paul Grein

More than 550 entertainment industry leaders gathered in Los Angeles on Sunday (Oct. 19) for Creative Community for Peace’s (CCFP) seventh annual Ambassadors of Peace gala to promote dialogue and unity through the arts. The event was held at the Beverly Park residence of Haim Saban, chairman and CEO of Saban Capital Group.

This year’s honorees were Bruce Resnikoff, president/CEO of Universal Music Enterprises; Jonathan Strauss, CEO of Create Music Group; David Kohan, showrunner and executive producer of Will & Grace and Mid-Century Modern; his wife, Blair Kohan, partner and board member at United Talent Agency; and actor Jerry O’Connell.

The event featured a performance by John Mellencamp, who said, “I don’t like to call it antisemitism. It’s too polite a word for what it really is. Hatred is what it really is. And I may just be a guy with a guitar and sing some songs, but I promise this to the Jewish people: I will remain a staunch ally to you guys as long as I’m on this earth. And to the Jewish haters, I say f—k you.”

“In order to make a difference, sometimes we need to get out of our comfort zone, and that’s what I’m doing tonight,” Resnikoff said. “In the Jewish community, especially during an epidemic of undeniable and widespread antisemitism, we will always need more voices, and particularly in the music industry. CCFP brings caring people together to help amplify our voices, and I’m proud to do my part tonight.”

Strauss added, “Great companies and great cultures are not built in an echo chamber. Disagreement doesn’t mean division; it means engagement. And there’s nothing worse than apathy.”

CCFP chairman and co-founder David Renzer opened the event and said, “We have to push back. We have to educate. We believe in coexistence. We believe in the power of music and arts and culture to help build bridges and that it should not be shut down.”

Ari Ingel, CCFP executive director, added, “Jewish pride means knowing where we come from and taking control of where we are going.

Liev Schreiber, Mayim Bialik, Greg Berlanti Among 1,200 Industry Figures Decrying “Discriminatory & Antisemitic” Israeli Film Boycott

Read the original article here.

Liev Schreiber, Mayim Bialik, and Greg Berlanti are among 1,200 industry figures who have signed an open letter decrying an Israeli film boycott.

Organized by non-profit Creative Community For Peace and The Brigade, the letter (read in full below) described the Film Workers for Palestine boycott, signed by the likes of Mark Ruffalo and Olivia Colman, as “discriminatory and antisemitic.”

The Creative Community For Peace letter, signed by others including Debra Messing and Sharon Osbourne, referred to the rival pledge as an act of “censorship” and “erasure of art.”

The letter said: “Israel’s entertainment industry is a vibrant hub of collaboration between Jewish and Palestinian artists and creatives, who work together every single day to tell complex stories that entertain and inform both communities and the world. Israeli film institutions are not government entities. They are often the loudest critics of government policy.”

It continued: “We know that many of you have good intentions and believe you are standing for peace. But your names are being weaponized and tied to lies and discrimination. This pledge erases dissenting Israeli voices, legitimizes falsehoods, and shields Hamas from blame.”

The letter concluded: “We call on all our colleagues in the entertainment industry to reject this discriminatory and antisemitic boycott call that only adds another roadblock on the path to peace.”

The Film Workers for Palestine boycott was published earlier this month. It has gathered signatories including Emma Stone, Peter Sarsgaard, Lily Gladstone, Elliot Page, and Joaquin Phoenix.

The pledge said: “We pledge not to screen films, appear at or otherwise work with Israeli film institutions—including festivals, cinemas, broadcasters and production companies—that are implicated* in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.”

Full Creative Community For Peace letter (signatories here):

To our fellow artists and the global film community,

We know the power of film. We know the power of story. That is why we cannot stay silent when a story is turned into a weapon, when lies 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 document of misinformation that advocates for arbitrary censorship and the erasure of art.

To censor the very voices trying to find common ground and express their humanity, is wrong, ineffective, 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 celebrated. Israel’s film community is restless, argumentative, and independent, where directors challenge ministers and many of the very festivals you target, consistently program dissent.

Israel’s entertainment industry is a vibrant hub of collaboration between Jewish and Palestinian artists and creatives, who work together every single day to tell complex stories that entertain and inform both communities and the world. Israeli film institutions are not government entities. They are often the loudest critics of government policy.

The pledge uses nebulous terms like ‘implicating’ and ‘complicity.’ Who will decide which Israeli filmmakers and film institutions are ‘complicit’? A McCarthyist committee with blacklists? Or is ‘complicity’ just a pretext to boycott all Israelis and Zionists — 95% of the world’s Jewish population — no matter what they create or believe?

History warns us. Censorship has been used 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 intentions and believe you are standing for peace. But your names are being weaponized and tied to lies and discrimination. This pledge erases dissenting Israeli voices, legitimizes falsehoods, and shields Hamas from blame.

If you want peace, call for the immediate release of the remaining 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 antisemitic boycott call that only adds another roadblock on the path to peace.

CCFPeace In Press Release

1,200+ Entertainment Leaders Release Open Letter Rejecting the Boycott of the Israeli Film Industry

Entertainment leaders from around the globe including Liev Schreiber, Mayim Bialik, Gene Simmons, Debra Messing, Sharon Osbourne, Greg Berlanti, Jerry O’Connell, Howie Mandel, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Lisa Edelstein, Erin Foster, Anthony Edwards, Rebecca De Mornay, Sherry Lansing, Shari Redstone, Haim Saban amongst many others, call out cultural boycott efforts

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25, 2025 — More than 1,200 entertainment leaders signed an open letter released by the non-profit entertainment industry organizations Creative Community For Peace (CCFP) and The Brigade, rebuking the efforts of their colleagues to silence fellow entertainers and filmmakers.

The letter comes in response to the call to boycott all Israeli film and television companies, productions, festivals, and institutions – a de facto attempt to silence Jewish stories and ostracize Israeli filmmakers.

Its release comes on the heels of Paramount Studios publicly declaring its opposition to the boycott pledge, stating “we need more engagement, not less” and amid multiple calls to boycott Israeli cultural institutions.

This new open letter, signed by over 1,200 entertainment leaders, demonstrates an entertainment industry-wide opposition to chastising fellow artists and creatives.

Chairman and CEO of Saban Entertainment, Haim Saban, said: “Throughout my career, I’ve witnessed how storytelling can be an incredible tool to build understanding around our shared humanity. Excluding Israeli filmmakers because of their identity betrays that mission and undermines efforts for peace. True progress comes when we listen to one another, Israelis and Palestinians alike, and allow art to open doors that politics too often close.”

The boycott attempt coincides with an explosion of antisemitism and censorship of Israeli culture and artists around the world.

Just last month, at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), the Israeli documentary, The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue, was disinvited due to boycott pressure. After public outcry, the film was re-instated and went on to win the People’s Choice Award– demonstrating that art transcends political boundaries.

Actress Debra Messing said: “When artists boycott fellow artists based solely on their country of origin, it is blatant discrimination and a betrayal of our role as storytellers. History shows us that boycotts against Jews have long been a tool of authoritarian regimes—by joining this effort, these artists are knowingly or unknowingly aligning themselves with a dark legacy of antisemitism.”

Actress Mayim Bialik said: “Artists and creatives have a unique opportunity and responsibility to remind the world of our shared humanity. Boycotting filmmakers, studios, production companies and individuals simply because they are Israeli fuels division and contributes to a disturbing culture of marginalization. Additionally, this boycott pledge does nothing to end the war in Gaza, bring the hostages home, or help curb the alarming rise of antisemitism globally.”

The open letter also comes on the heels of the Israeli film, “The Sea,” winning the Best Feature award at the Ophir Awards (the Israeli Oscar’s), a film about a Palestinian boy on his way to visit the sea in Tel Aviv for the first time in his life. This story of Palestinian life was produced with support from the Israel Film Fund, which was specifically singled out for boycott.

Actress Rebecca De Mornay said: “Film institutions engage with countries all over the world, including those with serious controversies, yet Israel alone is singled out and condemned—for defending itself in a war it didn’t start, for trying to free hostages still being held, and for confronting an enemy still intent on its destruction. Boycotting Israeli film institutions isn’t a stand for justice, it’s a thinly veiled double-standard for Jews, and a hypocritical, unjust punishment of Israeli artists and films.”

CCFP Executive Director Ari Ingel stated, “while the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement presents itself as a social justice movement to those in the west, it is actually a political movement that seeks the defamation, delegitimization, and eventual elimination of the State of Israel. The recent boycott pledge also contains blatant statements of misinformation, such as claiming that ICJ ruled that there was a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza, when they did no such thing.”

Ingel added, “the truth is that the film and television industry in Israel is a vibrant hub of collaboration between Jewish and Palestinian artists and filmmakers, who work closely together every single day to tell complex stories that entertain and inform both communities and the world — from Award winning series such as Our Boys, to the Ophir Best Picture winning The Sea, and to powerful documentaries such as Dead Sea Guardians. Silencing the voices of storytellers does nothing to advance peace. The very artists and filmmakers who work across divides, grapple with painful truths, and foster dialogue should be supported. The path to peace will not be paved by boycotts, censorship, or exclusion, but by supporting the courageous individuals who refuse to give up on coexistence. Because in the end, peace will be written not by those who divide, but by those who dare to create together.”

The letter states: “We know the power of film. We know the power of story. That is why we cannot stay silent when a story is turned into a weapon, when lies are dressed up as justice, and when artists are misled into amplifying antisemitic propaganda.”

A representative for the Brigade stated, “As entertainment professionals and members of the creative community, it is our responsibility to preserve artistic freedom and access regardless of political leanings or origins. The ability to collaborate, to exchange ideas and highlight artists is the backbone of our industry. When people call for blacklists, it hurts the very foundation that has fought over-zealous government actions and the squashing of human rights. We adamantly oppose the current virulent and ill-informed boycott movement fomenting in our community. The Israeli artistic community and businesses provide opportunities to elevate Jewish and Palestinian stories and voices. We are obligated to preserve this thriving community for artists and audiences around the world.”

The letter concludes: “We call on all our colleagues in the entertainment industry to reject this discriminatory and antisemitic boycott call that only adds yet another roadblock on the path to peace.”

CCFP Literary Alliance Condemns PEN America

Based largely on information supplied by Hamas, Pen America’s distorted report is filled with hateful lies and glaring omissions that are simply designed to demonize Israel.

By downplaying the horrors of October 7th and largely dismissing Hamas’ own actions that led to the current situation in Gaza, Pen America seeks to further silence Israeli and Jewish voices in literature and culture.

In doing so, the organization has lost sight of its mission and gravely damaged its own credibility. Art and literature are meant to build bridges and foster dialogue, not to be twisted into tools of division and hate.

Alex Ritman has spent years hiding anti-Israel activism behind the mask of “journalism.” From promoting BDS campaigns to amplifying boycott movements in leading entertainment publications Variety and the Hollywood Reporter, his reporting pushes one-sided narratives that delegitimize Israel and fuel antisemitism.

We cannot let biased voices disguised as press distort the truth or normalize hate. Journalism should inform, not serve as a weapon against Israel and the Jewish people. ✡️

1000+ Entertainment Leaders Release Open Letter Criticizing TIFF’s Handling of Film

Entertainment leaders from around the globe including Amy Schumer, Debra Messing, Mayim Bialik, Jerry O’Connell, Howie Mandel, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Sherry Lansing, Haim Saban, Rebecca De Mornay, Rick Rosen, Gary Barber, Ben Silverman amongst many others, call on accountability from TIFF

LOS ANGELES, August 15, 2025 — More than 1000 entertainment leaders signed an open letter released by the non-profit entertainment industry organization Creative Community For Peace (CCFP) critiquing the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)’s handling of the film, The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue.

The letter comes in response to TIFF “disinviting” the film and then following public backlash, offering to “work with the filmmakers” to meet screening requirements. It’s clear that this was never about legal rights to footage, but rather appeasing anti-Israel and antisemitic activists’ intent to silence Jewish voices.

TIFF’s attempt to disinvite the documentary is part of a growing trend of silencing Jewish and Israeli voices under the excuse of “security concerns.” Rather than standing steadfast against violent intimidation and protecting filmmakers, TIFF gave cover to those who make threats.

TIFF’s attempt to disinvite the film coincides with an explosion of antisemitism in Canada. In 2024, despite making up 1% of the population, Jewish people were the group most targeted by hate crimes in Canada. The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue is not a political film. If focuses on a heroic story of Jewish survival. Based on their reporting around TIFF’s decision to include the film in the festival, it appears the story of Jewish survival is deemed controversial to many within TIFF.

Co-Founders of MRC, Modi Wizyck and Asif Satchu, said: “TIFF has championed AMERICAN FICTION, FAIR PLAY, KNIVES OUT and THE BLACKENING, some of MRC’s most provocative and complex films. We are glad that TIFF has reconsidered to ensure that the festival continues to be a haven for art and artists that embody diverse perspectives – especially on contentious topics.”

The letter highlights previous communications given by TIFF leadership that they’d stand firm in the face of political pressures, stating: “Last year, Creative Community for Peace and other entertainment industry leaders urged TIFF leadership to provide a platform for Israeli and Israeli-themed projects. TIFF leadership “assured” us they would do so “even in difficult times like this.” That assurance was apparently a lie.”

CCFP Executive Director Ari Ingel said, “This incident is not an anomaly—it is part of a disturbing pattern that has emerged since October 7th, in which Israeli and Jewish creatives in film, television, music, sports, and literature are confronted with barriers no other community is made to face. The deliberate effort to marginalize and silence Jewish voices in the arts worldwide is intolerable, and it cannot be allowed to persist.”

The letter states: “While the film has been reinstated after a significant public backlash, the festival still has not offered a sincere apology or explanation for the harm it created for the Jewish community.”

A spokesperson from The Brigade said, “While TIFF’s choice to initially allow hate to prevail and undermined its own stated mission “to present transformative film experiences that enlighten, enrich understanding, and foster empathy and foster an environment of constructive and respectful dialogue” was egregious, It was also encouraging to see such a diverse set of voices come together to ensure that the film gets a worthy premiere. The Brigade will continue to work in collaboration with many others that support filmmakers who are facing these challenges, to ensure that other festivals practice real inclusion and that these actions are not normalized.”

The letter concludes: “We call on the Board of Directors to question the leadership of TIFF, to platform Israeli voices moving forward, and to choose dialogue over exclusion and peace over prejudice.”

FULL OPEN LETTER

We, the undersigned members of the entertainment industry, are deeply concerned about the Toronto International Film Festival’s (TIFF) initial decision to disinvite the documentary The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue, and its subsequent communications. This is the only documentary scheduled for this year’s program that puts forward Israel’s narrative.

This follows the 2024 festival, which likewise didn’t platform a single Israeli documentary that didn’t disparage the country. In contrast, TIFF 2024 featured three anti-Israel documentaries, with four more slated for 2025.

Last year, Creative Community for Peace and other entertainment industry leaders urged TIFF leadership to provide a platform for Israeli and Israeli-themed projects. TIFF leadership “assured” us they would do so “even in difficult times like this.” That assurance was apparently a lie.

Not only did TIFF omit The Road Between Us from the initial slate announcement, but TIFF pressured its filmmakers to change the film’s title—only to then cancel its participation.

While the film has been reinstated after a significant public backlash, the festival has not offered a sincere apology or explanation for the harm it created for the Jewish community.

Furthermore, the initial claim that the project couldn’t be screened because the filmmakers didn’t have the rights to footage Hamas – a Canadian designated terrorist group, broadcast to the world on October 7, 2023, when they massacred, raped, brutalized, and kidnaped thousands of innocent people from toddlers to Holocaust survivors — strains credibility.

As did the claim that the cancellation was for security reasons—when anti-Israel productions face no such barrier and instead of ensuring a safe environment, TIFF caved to these violent demands that only increased a sense that the Jews of Canada don’t count.

This incident was clearly a surrender to an antisemitic campaign determined to silence Jewish and Israeli voices, at a time when antisemitism in Canada is surging to historic levels. TIFF’s decisions this past week have only deepened and legitimized that hostility.

Documentaries and Film Festivals have the power to affect lives and effect positive change in the world. They can bridge cultural divides and bring people together through a shared love of the arts.

We call on the Board of Directors to question the leadership of TIFF, to platform Israeli voices moving forward, and to choose dialogue over exclusion and peace over prejudice.
