Confronting Antisemitism in the Entertainment Industry

Thursday at 12:00pm PST


Kanye, Kyrie, Dave Chappelle… it seems that every day there is a new public figure in the entertainment industry that promotes or normalizes antisemitism. For years, Creative Community for Peace has worked closely with digital platforms to identify, remove, and educate the masses on antisemitic content in the media. Join AJU’s President Dr. Jeffrey Herbst in conversation with CCFP Director Ari Ingel to learn how Creative Community for Peace is making strides to combat antisemitism in the entertainment industry today.

Ari took over as Director of Creative Community for Peace in October 2018, a non-profit organization comprised of prominent members of the entertainment industry who have come together to promote the arts as a means to peace, to educate about rising antisemitism within the entertainment industry, and galvanize support against the cultural boycott of Israel.
