NOTE: This story has been updated to include a response from the IDA.
The action group Pens for Swords has launched a letter-writing campaign to protest the International Documentary Association’s decision to cancel the advertising contract it had with the film “We Will Dance Again,” charging that the move shows “anti-Israeli discrimination” and is “effectively sabotaging the documentary film’s Academy Awards chances.”
Pens for Swords, an action group that focuses on antisemitism and anti-Israeli bias, also appealed to the California State Attorney General and the Los Angeles County District Attorney, asking for an inquiry into the IDA’s actions and to reconsider the organization’s nonprofit status.
