Sir, Since the establishment of Israel in 1948, Zionists have weaponized antisemitism to suppress criticism of Israel’s long history of war crimes, much to the detriment of real victims of antisemitism. And nothing is more career-ending in Hollywood than being labelled an anti-Semite.
So, witnessing a growing list of award-winning actors advocate for Palestinians and speak out about the blatant censorship of pro-Palestinian voices is a welcome shift. (‘Oscar, Emmy, and Bafta winners join over 1,500 artists accusing institutions of censoring pro-Palestinian counterparts’, The Muslim News, Dec 29)
