Reject the Lie Open Letter

Open letter denying the Israeli genocide in Gaza

Reject the Lie Open Letter was organized by Creative Community for Peace and signed by 5,000 people, many in the entertainment industry.

We the undersigned are outraged and sickened by the latest blood libel to be inflicted on the Jewish people: the lie that Israel committed “genocide” in Gaza. We reject this accusation with contempt.
