Scooter Braun, Emmy Rossum and Helen Mirren Among 400 Stars Supporting Israel’s Inclusion in Eurovision
A host of stars have signed an open letter supporting Israel's inclusion in the Eurovision Song Contest, set to take place in Sweden in May.
Although there has been no suggestion the European Broadcasting Union, which organizes the annual singing competition, has any intention of barring Israel from the event, the open letter has been published in response to a handful of fringe voices calling for a ban. Other signatories to the letter include “The Big Bang Theory” star Mayim Bialik, KISS frontman Gene Simmons, “Once Upon a Time” actor Ginnifer Goodwin and “Ray Donovan” lead Liev Schreiber, among hundreds of others. Organized by industry body Creative Community For Peace, the letter states: “We believe that unifying events such as singing competitions are crucial to help bridge our cultural divides and unite people of all backgrounds through their shared love of music.”
