Meg Ryan and Dustin Hoffman Cancel Participation in Israeli Film Festival
Hollywood actors Meg Ryan and Dustin Hoffman backed out of attending this year’s annual Jerusalem Film Festival, the Jerusalem Post has reported.
The Jerusalem Post article quotes festival organisers as saying it “it became quite clear" that Israel's attack on the Freedom Flotilla was behind the Hollywood stars pulling out.
The duo are the latest a long list of high profile of artists and performers to join the culutral boycott in the wake of the attack on the flotilla. A June statement by PACBI rounds up the recent developments.
