Toronto International Film Festival: Stand Up Against the Lies
Toronto International Film Festival: Stand Up Against the Lies
JVP supports the 1,000 plus signers of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) protest letter, "The Toronto Declaration: No Celebration of Occupation,” including Harry Belafonte, Jane Fonda, Julie Christie, Danny Glover, Naomi Klein, Eve Ensler, and many Palestinians and Israelis. The letter does not call for boycott. The signers believe the festival's choice of celebrating Tel Aviv is inappropriate given Israel’s nearly 42-year occupation of the Palestinian Territories, the recent assault and continuing siege on Gaza, and the history of and ongoing dispossession of Palestinians in Tel Aviv-Jaffa itself. We agree. Learn about the smear campaign, and get the accurate history of the region here.
