What Does “Free Palestine” Really Mean?
We applaud @erinfoster for speaking out with such clarity and conviction.
In her first public response to Adam Brody’s recent comments about Israel, Erin did not shy away from making her position clear: “While I love Adam, I also disagree with him.”
Just as importantly, Erin acknowledged the hurt and concerns felt by Jewish viewers and reaffirmed that Nobody Wants This has always been, and will always remain, a “love letter to Judaism.”
As a proud Jewish woman who chose to embrace Judaism, Erin understands firsthand the beauty of Jewish life and the importance of positive Jewish representation, particularly at a time of rising antisemitism. Her commitment to celebrating Jewish identity and culture is deeply personal, and it is reflected in the stories she tells.
Just last week, Creative Community for Peace was proud to honor Erin as an Ambassador of Peace, and her response is a powerful reminder of why. She demonstrated that it is possible to firmly reject views you disagree with, stand up for your community, and do so with grace and integrity.
We are proud of Erin for speaking out, grateful for her commitment to the Jewish people, and proud to stand alongside her as she continues to uplift and celebrate Jewish life.

A beautiful and deeply moving moment of Jewish pride and solidarity in Hollywood!
Academy Award-winning actor Dustin Hoffman joined Israeli singer Ester Rada in singing Israel’s national anthem, Hatikvah, during a special evening at UCLA celebrating the unbreakable bond between the Jewish people and Israel.
Among those in attendance were former Hamas hostage Eliya Cohen and his wife, Ziv Aboud, a survivor of the Nova music festival massacre.
At a time where so many American Jews are worried about the rise in antisemitism, it is inspiring to see Hollywood legends wearing their Judaism so loudly and proudly.

It was a true honor to celebrate legendary rock icon Gene Simmons at our Ambassadors of Peace Gala.
Throughout his remarkable career, Gene has remained unapologetically proud of his Jewish identity, using his voice and platform to challenge convention, speak from the heart, and stand firmly against antisemitism in the entertainment industry and beyond.
Thank you, Gene, for your courage, authenticity, and unwavering commitment to standing up for what you believe in.

Netflix’s hit series The Diplomat has paid a touching tribute to Hersh Goldberg-Polin and Aner Shapira, two victims of Hamas’s October 7 attack, in its fourth season.
Created by Debora Cahn, a descendant of Holocaust survivors, the series returned for its fourth season last week, with viewers noticing the meaningful tribute.
Hersh’s mother, Rachel Goldberg-Polin, shared how moving it is to know that people around the world are working to ensure the stories of the hostages are never erased or forgotten.
A small but meaningful gesture honoring the memory of two heroes of the Nova music festival and ensuring their stories continue to be told.

THIS is the message we need to hear from more musicians!
Rock legends Mötley Crüe join Metallica in highlighting the power of music to bring people together, regardless of background, beliefs, or political differences.
Music should be a source of unity, not a political battleground. Thank you to Vince Neil and the entire band for reminding us that music has the power to build bridges, not divisions.

A 38-year-old musician and mountaineer has been executed in Iran after being accused of supporting Israel and exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.
Ali Sina Mostafavi was accused of carrying out armed attacks, but Iranian authorities have not publicly presented independently verifiable evidence linking him to Israeli officials. Human rights groups allege he was tortured into confessing and denied a fair trial.
A death sentence following allegations of torture and an unfair trial is a chilling example of the Iranian regime’s repression. As executions of political opponents and protesters draw growing international concern, the fate of those who challenge the regime cannot be ignored.
