Stars Sign Pledge Against “Genocide and Apartheid”
Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, and others pledge not to work with Israeli festivals, production houses
The pledge echoes South African cultural boycotts: “We refuse silence, racism, and dehumanization.”
Lily Gladstone, Tilda Swinton, and Peter Sarsgaard are among the powerful names backing the boycott.
Known for speaking out on justice, Ruffalo adds his voice to the call for industry action on Gaza.
The pledge calls out Israeli film institutions “implicated in genocide,” including broadcasters and film events.
The Israeli Film and TV Producers Association says artists are the bridge
Israeli storytellers argue they’ve long included Palestinian voices and critique of their own government.
With over 1,000 signatories, the film world is facing a moment of reckoning
At a June protest, Ruffalo blasted U.S. elites and linked his activism across causes — from Gaza to immigration to inequality.
Not just activists — award-winning producers like Tracey Seaward and Robyn Slovo have signed the pledge.
