"At Paramount, we believe in the power of storytelling to connect and inspire people, promote mutual understanding, and preserve the moments, ideas, and events that shape the world we share. This is our creative mission."
"We do not agree with recent efforts to boycott Israeli filmmakers. Silencing individual creative artists based on their nationality does not promote better understanding or advance the cause of peace. The global entertainment industry should be encouraging artists to tell their stories and share their ideas with audiences throughout the world. We need more engagement and communication - not less."
Over 4,000 actors, directors, and other film and TV industry members pledged to boycott Israeli film institutions deemed complicit in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people. Paramount emphasizes the power of storytelling to connect and inspire, promote mutual understanding, and preserve moments, ideas, and events. Paramount rejects efforts to boycott Israeli filmmakers and contends that silencing individual creative artists based on nationality does not promote understanding or advance peace. The company urges the global entertainment industry to encourage artists to tell their stories and calls for more engagement and communication. The position follows Paramount's completed merger with Skydance and recent FCC approval after concessions related to news coverage; the White House has largely supported Israel, though Trump criticized Israel's strike against Qatar.
