Selma Blair

Actor

Star US film actress Selma Blair was among more than 130 members of the entertainment industry who signed an open letter during May’s conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza calling on celebrities and influencers to stop spreading false information about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The star of movies including “Dark Horse,” “Ordinary World” and “After,” Blair’s signature appeared beneath a letter calling on the entertainment industry “to stop posting misinformation and one-sided narratives that only work to inflame the conflict instead of bringing about peace… Our thoughts are with all Israelis and Palestinians who are experiencing unfathomable levels of fear and violence, and hope for the day when both peoples can live side by side in peace.” (Photo: Wikimedia / Creative Commons License)
