Both sides say they are being boycotted and blacklisted as the Israel-Gaza conflict drags on in its second year.

The article from Variety discusses the ongoing debate and division within Hollywood regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict, spotlighting the reactions to comments made by actress Susan Sarandon and musician Roger Waters. Sarandon, who was dropped by her agency UTA after making remarks at a pro-Palestinian rally, and Waters, who has been criticized for his views on Israel, have become focal points in this contentious issue. The piece highlights how Hollywood's response to the conflict has been mixed, with some celebrities and industry figures vocally supporting Israel, while others advocate for Palestinian rights, leading to a significant rift. It also touches on the broader implications of these stances, including the impact on careers, the potential for boycotts, and the difficulty of navigating such a politically charged topic in the entertainment industry. The article notes that while some see speaking out as a moral imperative, others view it as a risky move that could alienate parts of their audience or industry peers.
