Details
In 2017, she signed a letter along with 60 other artists urging Lincoln Center to cancel performances of “To The End Of The Land,” a play based on a novel of the same name by famed Israeli novelist David Grossman. After she got backlash she retracted her signture and said she made a mistake.
In 2017, Greta Gerwig signed a letter "urging Lincoln Center to respect the Palestinian civil society call for a boycott of those Israeli cultural institutions that are complicit in the denial of Palestinian rights. By hosting the Ha'bima and Cameri theaters, and partnering with the Israeli government in doing so, Lincoln Center too is actively supporting Israel's decades of denial of Palestinian rights.", Gerwig then stated, 'I was unfamiliar with the complexities of the letter and I did not take the time to study them' on the New York Post's Page Six gossip column where she renounced her prior support for the boycott letter. At the Toronto and Telluride film fests, journalists were banned from asking Gerwig about the letter due to her Oscar campaign for Lady Bird. Gerwig has not condemned the escalated genocide against Palestinians in 2023 and 2024. Gerwig wrote the screenplay "Snow White" for BDS target, Disney, that will star former lOF sergeant, Gal Gadot.
