In light of the escalating violence in Gaza, actors and artists have amplified their calls for a ceasefire. At prestigious award ceremonies like the Grammys and Oscars, protesters disrupted the festivities to demand an end to the conflict. At the Berlinale film festival, prominent artists explicitly condemned Israel’s actions and highlighted the deaths of Palestinians in the occupied territories. Even at the South by Southwest festival, over 80 performers and speakers withdrew due to the involvement of weapons companies linked to the US Department of Defense. However, questions arise about the adequacy of these symbolic gestures. Despite the influence of pro-Israeli organizations, are artists and celebrities utilizing their platforms effectively to bring about a tangible resolution to the ongoing crisis?
