• Liev Schreiber, Mayim Bialik and Debra Messing are among the signatories of the letter released on Thursday by Creative Community for Peace and The Brigade.
• The message urges nearly 4,000 supporters of the Film Workers for Palestine boycott pledge, including Emma Stone and Joaquin Phoenix, to reconsider.
• The letter calls the boycott drive misinformation that promotes arbitrary censorship, with Messing labeling artist boycotts based on nationality discriminatory.
