As tensions continue to flare in the Middle East, Creative Community for Peace, an apolitical, non-profit entertainment industry organization, has come together to issue a collective call for “peace, balanced discourse and an end to inflammatory one-sided accounts” of the conflict between Israel and Palestinian Territories. This divisive rhetoric, notes the org, serves only to foment an already incendiary crisis that has, this past week alone, claimed more than 200 lives.
Creative Community for Peace was founded in 2012 by David Renzer, former chairman/CEO of Universal Music Publishing, and Steve Schnur, worldwide executive & Music President, Electronic Arts.
More than 125 leaders in the entertainment industry, including Kiss frontman Gene Simmons, Grammy Award-winning artist Michael Bublé, Haim Saban, chairman & CEO, Saban Capital Group, and songwriter-producer Diane Warren, signed the Creative Community for Peace-endorsed open letter, which urges peace in the Middle East and implores fellow members of the entertainment industry to use their celebrity platforms to encourage productive,...

Seventy years after it established statehood in 1948, modern Israel is a country wrapped up in contradictions, a place where the same person who barges ahead of you in line will invite you over for dinner. And he’ll mean it, and you’ll go. Thanks to political clashes and ever-boiling arguments over peoplehood and land, Israel is a culture of distrust and suspicion, but also one of insurmountable joy and celebration, of vibrant clubs and cafes humming with fiery conversation and lazy Saturday outings at a Mediterranean beach.
Sociologically, Israel is the exact opposite of Los Angeles, a city in which everybody threatens to get together, but rarely does; in Israel, entire neighborhoods turn up at weddings. If you’re looking for subtlety and refinement, you won’t find it in Israel, a place where Starbucks failed because its coffee is just too weak.
“We have a great deal of passion toward life,...
