Israeli Consul Criticizes Hollywood Jews for Silence Amid Rising Threats

Israeli Consul in New York, Ofir Akunis, met with senior members of the Jewish community in Los Angeles and sharply criticized prominent Jews in Hollywood for their silence. He expressed frustration that influential Jewish figures, including a well-known Jewish director and a famous Jewish singer, have remained quiet during a critical time. Akunis emphasized that this is not the moment for silence but rather for a clear, strong, and unapologetic voice. He called for unity and increased vocal opposition to threats facing both the United States and Israel. "We must stand united and strong and raise our voices against these phenomena that threaten America as much as Israel," he stated.
