The Creative Community for Peace (CCFP) released its first report on July 19th, focusing on the various anti-Semitic incidents that have plagued the entertainment industry.
The 20-page report shares different examples of anti-Semitic incidents that occurred in different corners of entertainment.
“The entertainment industry is quite isolated and tends to listen to people who know it’s reliable,” CCFP director Ari Ingel told the journal in a telephone interview. “To really influence the entertainment industry, you need to work within the industry,” said Ingel, an entertainment lawyer and music manager. Two and a half years later, CCFP educates people in the industry about rising anti-Semitism. I realized that I needed to be more “influential” in doing so.
Athletes’ anti-Semitism was at the forefront when wide receiver DeSean Jackson announced his support for the Nation of Islam (NOI) leader Luis Farakan in July 2020. Since then, Jackson has apologized, but various other athletes have defended Jackson’s first comment. Ingel pointed out how Jackson’s comments spread to his “millions of fans” on social media. “This is because these people have a lot of influence, they are influenced by people like Luis Farakan, and the regurgitation of posting something like this has an effect. I’m showing, “he said.
Regarding Farakan, Ingel said the black community and people in the city “have a certain affinity with him” because Farakan and NOI provided social welfare and school education in the city center in the absence of government. rice field. “But what they are unaware of is the anti-Semitism he spits out and the Vitriol he spits out about Jews,” said Ingel, who says Farakan’s words are now more influential thanks to social media. He added that. “That is, soccer players, basketball players, and artists in the music industry are listening to these things.” Ingel announced in 2020 that Rebolt TV, founded by rapper Sean “Didi” Combs, was an event prior to the Jackson incident. Broadcasting Farakan’s July 4th speech, he noted that Chelsea Handler is sharing a clip of Farakan’s speech on social media. A loop of essential hatred. “
Some television shows also promulgate anti-Semitic stereotypes. The report points out Netflix’s “Umbrella Academy.” The academy features villains depicted as “human disguised” lizards “, organizers of Yiddish-speaking villains.” “These character traits are anti-soccer and BBC sportscaster David Icke, who wrote a book claiming that many prominent Jews are actually secret’lizard people’seeking world domination. It reflects the Jewish conspiracy theory, “said the CCFP report. The report also states that “Stranger Things” star Winona Ryder “she was called an” ovend jar “by Mel Gibson and took over the role of the film because she looked Jewish.” It records the case of “anti-Semitic treatment in Hollywood”. .. ‘”
In the music industry, former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters is famous for his loud support for boycotts, withdrawals, and sanctions (BDS) movements, and for carrying the Star of David on a flying pig during a concert. However, the report also prevents Waters from playing an animated video in one of the concerts “Israel Drops a Bomb in the Form of the Star of David and the Dollar Symbol” and playing Pink Floyd’s cover band in Israel in 2019. “The people you are trying to entertain are executing the children of your neighbors and shooting them down with cold blood every day,” he claimed to have put pressure on him.
According to Ingel, the overwhelming majority of Jews in the United States are Zionists, so when the BDS crowd demonstrated Israel as a “colonial,” “appartheit,” or “white supremacist,” it was “suddenly.” , Apparthate, genocide, national cleanup, white supremacism, and it causes anti-Semitism here at home. “
Ingel said that different examples of actions against different minority communities that were once considered okay “15, 20, 30, 40 years ago” are no longer considered that way, except in the case of Jews. Said not. “As the saying goes, Jews don’t matter,” Ingel said. “And we’re still seeing examples … you can say things about Jews, no one is marching down the street, no one is fired, and it’s making mainstream media No. But in other persecuted minorities, it was a serious incident and they never even went there. “
The report concludes with a series of recommendations on entertainment to combat anti-Semitism in the industry, with industry companies adopting the definition of the International Holocaust Memorial Alliance for Anti-Semitism and bringing anti-Semitic experts to diversity equity. • Invite to the And Inclusion (DEI) team to train staff on anti-Semitism. The report also recommends that television and film companies adopt the “Milk Shop Tevitest,” which is based on the work of author and educator Ben M. Freeman in the expression of Jews in the media. Freeman developed the “Jewish Expression Trictomy” about how Jews are portrayed in entertainment. “Interesting secular Jews” and “murdered Jews” who create humor through “threat-free Jewish stereotypes” are centered around “Jewish death, destruction, and trauma.” “Bad Orthodox Jews” refers to “the demonization of Jews by stereotypes, especially Orthodox Jews and traditional Judaism, which are portrayed as inconsistent with Western values.”
“This report shows how much work we need to do within our industry,” Ingel said in a statement. “For example, streaming platforms, television shows, and movies that are usually unnoticed are spreading and spreading anti-Semitic metaphors. In a society that is becoming more and more sensitive to fair and accurate expression, the impact on Jews is often It doesn’t matter. “
