No Hostage Left Behind Letter:

A since deleted sensationalist open letter that relied heavily on since refuted but still actively heinous, destructive and dehumanizing lies about Palestinians having ‘beheaded over 40 babies’ among other bouts of misinformation.

The letter also only asks for the return of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas since October 7th and not the thousands of also innocent Palestinian hostage kidnapped by Israel both before and after October 7th — including hundreds of children who have been documented to have suffered assault, torture, sexual abuse, forced starvation after being imprisoned despite having no charges against them.

It also serves to completely absolve Israel of any accountability over the suffering of Palestinians by shifting the blame to Hamas, despite Israel being the active oppressor of Palestinians for decades, ethnically cleansing the population since the early 1900s and now actively committing a genocide while the entire world watches from their screens.

Creative Community for Peace Letter:

Creative Community for Peace (CCFP) is a non-profit organization founded in 2011 by figures in the entertainment industry, dedicated to countering the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel and promoting the arts as a supposed bridge to peace while actively supporting Zionist settler-colonialism.

CCFP's mission includes galvanizing support against the cultural boycott of Israel, which it frames as illegitimate despite BDS being a non-violent, Palestinian-led call to end apartheid, occupation, and settler-colonialism. The organization consistently promotes dangerous Zionist propaganda that demonizes Palestinians and those advocating for their liberation, often equating criticism of Israel or support for Palestinian rights with antisemitism or calls for the "murder of Jews everywhere."

On October 12, 2023, CCFP released an open letter titled "Israel Under Attack," signed by over 2000 leaders from the entertainment industry. The letter describes Palestinian resistance actions as "barbaric acts of terrorism," "evil," and "savagery," claims Hamas seeks the "murder of Jews everywhere," and urges the entertainment community to speak out against Hamas, support Israel as it takes "necessary steps to defend its citizens," and reject an "orchestrated misinformation campaign spearheaded by Iran." It highlights images from October events while ignoring the broader 77+ years of Zionist terrorism, occupation, and the deployment of the Hannibal Directive contributing to casualties.

The letter affirms Israel's actions and perpetuates revisionist Zionist narratives that erase the Nakba, ongoing ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and genocide in Palestine. It whitewashes Israel's systematic violence, including the destruction of infrastructure, targeting of civilians and journalists, and obstruction of accurate death tolls—conservative recorded Palestinian deaths exceed 75,000 from the current phase alone, with actual figures well into the hundreds of thousands due to Israel's concealment efforts.

By organizing and promoting this letter, CCFP contributes to manufacturing consent for Israel's illegal ethnostate, vilifies anti-genocide and anti-apartheid protesters, and normalizes the settler-colonial project that displaces indigenous Palestinians through land theft, often under guises like "Aaliyah." Signing or endorsing such efforts marks complicity in perpetuating oppression, marginalization, cultural erasure, and genocide against Palestinians.

This pattern aligns with CCFP's consistent behavior, including other letters rejecting boycotts of Israeli institutions as "discriminatory and antisemitic," while ignoring Israel's documented violations condemned by human rights organizations.
