An Event of Unity and Peace in the Entertainment Industry
The sixth annual â¤Ambassadors of Peace event, sponsored by⣠Variety,⤠was â¢recently held at the Beverly Hills house owned​ by Warner Music Group A&R exec Aton Ben-Horin. Over†500 prominent individuals from the entertainment industry gathered for this event to celebrate peace and unity. Honorees included TV exec Ben Silverman, Amazon Music’s Phylicia Fant, actor-author-host Mayim Bialik, music business⢠attorney Josh ‌Binder and newly appointed Atlantic Music Group CEO ​Elliot Grainge.
The Creative Community for Peace (CCP) was founded a decade ago with the goal⣠of convincing artists to bypass boycott efforts and perform in Israel. However, in light â€of recent events such as the⣠Hamas terrorist attack on an Israeli music festival on October 7th, CCP has gained new relevance. Following these⣠events, â€CCP hosted a forum ​on antisemitism attended by various individuals including ⢔First â¤Gentleman” Doug⤠Emhoff. David Renzer and his colleagues stressed that while they support Israel’s existence, they also⢠hope for peace and use art as a means to promote⢠dialogue.
Dr. Bialik is an unwavering advocate for Israel†who turned to CCP after facing challenges and disinformation​ following the October 7th attack. She emphasizes that⣠supporting Israel does not ‌mean choosing sides or promoting war; rather it is about recognizing its right to exist without being terrorized.
Josh Binder took an unusual stance on this situation by pointing out that he is not a political activist but aims â€to build bridges​ within his⣠community ‌through ​his work as â€a music attorney representing various artists â€across â£different backgrounds.
