Dear Arab,

As part of our campaign to urge Oscar nominees being offered a free propaganda trip to Israel paid by the Israeli government to skip it and not endorse apartheid, we, with our member group Jewish Voice for Peace, placed the ad below in Variety Magazine, the most important paper in the entertainment industry. They accepted payment on Thursday, February 18, but then late on Friday, February 19, they informed us they would be unable to place the ad, citing that at this time its topic is “too sensitive” and that we “would need to have a softer tone.”

Can you donate $20 or more today to help us publish the ad elsewhere and continue this campaign?

This is a clear act of censorship by Variety, which has in the past published ads like the one below with very clear strong language. The difference with our ad? It is in support of Palestinian rights and freedom. Please donate today to help us fight back against Israel’s attempts to hide its oppression of Palestinians behind fancy trips.
