Bollywood stars – you love Israel, we love you, let’s keep the positive momentum going!

Four famous Bollywood actors are due to perform in Israel

Because it is a great opportunity for Israel, Israel bashers, including the anti-Israel BDS movement, are working hard to prevent the visit by threatening and harassing the stars.

Last year, on a trip to Mumbai, Israel Deputy Minister Michael Oren urged Bollywood producers to invest in Israel. He stated at the time that his objective was to “fight BDS.”

Earlier this year, while in Mumbai, Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that “we want Bollywood in Israel” while meeting with local stars.

Bollywood’s multi-billion-dollar film industry is the largest in the world.

BDS is alleging that Israel’s overtures are “aimed at exploiting Bollywood’s enormous fan-base and its stars’ media profiles to distract from and art-wash Israel’s ‘war crimes’ and ‘violations of Palestinian human rights.'”

However, the truth is that Israel’s ties with India have reached new heights.

The two nations have grown significantly closer, a sign of global peace and stability. By fighting this bond, BDS is advocating strife, hatred and global conflict.

Let’s send the message to Bollywood actors that solidarity with Israel is the proper thing to do, and that heeding the BDS’ calls means succumbing to hate and division.
