Dani Reis is artist manager at artist house and formerly worked in Occupied Palestine. By signing the inherently racist open letter released by CCFP, they have contributed to not only the dehumanization of Palestinians but also the normalization and whitewashing of Israel's illegal, genocidal, occupational and settler-colonial ethnostate in favour of political Zionism — a Judeosupremacist belief that has contributed to the systemic (and systematic) ethnic cleansing of both the Palestinian and Lebanese populace.
In fact, the 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 entire 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." By signing this letter, this liberal Zionist has worked to manufacture consent for the ongoing occupation.
On October 12, 2023, CCFP released a hasbarist propaganda filled open letter titled "Israel Under Attack," signed by over 2000 leaders from the entertainment industry which 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, support Israel as it takes "necessary steps to defend its citizens," and reject an "orchestrated misinformation campaign spearheaded by Iran."
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. 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."
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. In fact, signing such dehumanising and atrocity-filled letters represents a pattern of complicity through selective outrage that betrays Palestinian liberation and upholds the structures of settler-colonialism and apartheid.

🔒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.

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.
Visited Israel or Supported 'Birthright' Trips:
By visiting Israel, individuals actively endorse and support a regime built on systemic oppression and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians through settler colonial terrorism. These visitors are complicit in legitimizing and normalizing a brutal apartheid system recognized and condemned by numerous international bodies, including the United Nations, the ICJ, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch. [1] [2] [3]
Visitors to Israel tacitly approve severe restrictions on Palestinian movement, land confiscations, home demolitions, and the devastating blockade on Gaza, which has created catastrophic humanitarian conditions. These are not mere allegations but documented realities. The apartheid system privileges Israeli settlers while subjecting Palestinians to systemic discrimination and violence, with segregated roads, military checkpoints, and a separation barrier that fragments Palestinian communities and restricts their freedom. [4] [5] [6]
Tourism economically supports the state, indirectly funding the military occupation and the infrastructure of apartheid, including illegal settlements and state violence. Without acknowledging or engaging with the Palestinian experience, visitors normalize and legitimize these oppressive practices. [7] The financial impact of tourism cannot be understated. [8] Visitors who spend money in Israel bolster the systems of oppression that deny Palestinians their basic human rights. This financial support funds the Israeli military and infrastructure supporting illegal settlements. [9]
Programs like Birthright trips further legitimize the subjugation of Palestinians by promoting a one-sided narrative that erases the realities of occupation and apartheid, falsely presenting Israel as a safe and welcoming homeland for Jews while ignoring Palestinian suffering and dispossession. [10] [11] [12]
Visitors to Israel without a critical perspective are complicit in the violence and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. They lend credibility to a regime widely condemned for its discriminatory practices and human rights violations. By choosing to visit Israel, these individuals endorse a state that systematically violates international law and human rights, contributing to the ongoing suffering and dispossession of the Palestinian people.
