@Variety@LucBernard Weren’t these “industry figures” the same ones who singed the boycott of all israeli film institutions, artists and filmmakers? They have no idea what they do.

In a statement in response to the pledge, the Israeli Film and TV Producers Association said, “The signatories of this petition are targeting the wrong people.”
“For decades, we Israeli artists, storytellers, and creators have been the primary voices allowing audiences to hear and witness the complexity of the conflict, including Palestinian narratives and criticism of Israeli state policies,” the statement read.
“We work with Palestinian creators, telling our shared stories and promoting peace and an end to violence through thousands of films, TV series, and documentaries. This call for a boycott is profoundly misguided.”
The statement continues to describe the boycott as “shortsighted,” serving to “eliminate precisely the collaborative efforts working toward ending violence and achieving peace.”
“We will not allow this and will push back in our efforts to end violence and bring just peace to our region for the benefit of all,” the statement adds. “We call on the international community to recognize our commitment to dialogue, peace, and giving voice to all sides of this conflict. Our stories are tools for understanding and healing, and we will continue using them to help bring an end to violence.”
'Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like – such as reading to your little boy... keeps the Devil down in the hole.'

More than 250 Jewish students at Columbia have signed this open letter.
If you have 5 minutes today, take the time to read it. Because the sentiments it expresses are what the overwhelming majority of Jewish people feel.
