A group of over 190 Hollywood celebrities signed a pro-Israel petition, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In 2014, the group, known as the Creative Community for Peace (CCFP), issued the following statement:
They shared a statement;
“We, the undersigned, are saddened by the terrible loss of life the Israelis and Palestinians have suffered in the Gaza Strip. It pains us to see the suffering on both sides of this conflict, and we hope that peace will be restored to the region.
As we are firmly committed to the ideology of peace and justice, we must also speak out firmly against the ideology of hatred and genocide, which are reflected in the Hamas charter, Article 7 of which reads: “If a Jew is hiding behind me, let’s kill him!” The son of the founder of the terrorist organization Hamas spoke about the true nature of Hamas.
Hamas should not be allowed to fire rockets at Israeli cities, and they should not be allowed to hold their own people hostage. Hospitals are made for healing, not for hiding weapons. Schools are built for teaching, not for launching rockets. Children are our hope, not a shield made of human bodies.
We have all come together to uphold the democratic values that we all hold dear, and we hope that the transforming and healing power of art can help re-create peace on earth.”
