The playwright, actor, and member of Jewish Voice for Peace challenges the notion that all Jews support Israel's actions
Editor's Note: Playwright and actor Wallace Shawn is on the advisory board of Jewish Voice for Peace, which condemns Israeli attacks in Gaza. Shawn recently translated Henrik Ibsen's A Master Builder, a film by Jonathan Demme. Shawn submitted to The Hollywood Reporter
this open letter to the Hollywood community. If you have a topic you
would like to discuss, send potential submissions to letters@thr.com.
Over the decades, I've done quite a bit of work as a translator from
various languages, and sometimes when I get home from work, I just can't
stop. Yesterday, for example, I saw an ad in The Hollywood Reporter. It was in English, but its meaning was not immediately obvious at all, so I felt an overwhelming impulse to translate it.
