350 Hollywood Anti-Semites Threaten Israeli Production Companies
In this excerpt from The Dennis Prager Show, host Dennis Prager responds to an open letter signed by roughly 350 members of the film industry—including filmmakers and actors—who protested the Venice Film Festival’s decision to screen two Israeli movies, Of Dogs and Men and Why War. The signatories, organized under Artists for Palestine Italia, accused the Israeli production companies of whitewashing Israel’s oppression and called the festival’s programming complicit with an alleged Israeli apartheid regime. Prager dismisses the apartheid claim as a lie, urging listeners to watch a PragerU video featuring a Black South African parliamentarian who visited Israel and refuted the comparison. He also rejects accusations that Israel is committing genocide, arguing that civilian casualties in Gaza are the result of Hamas’s tactics, not an intentional Israeli policy, and notes that the Palestinian population has grown since Israel’s founding. Prager concludes by directing the audience to the full episode on pragertopia.com for further discussion.
