Danny Glover: On the Record

Actor Danny Glover publicly backed the cultural and academic boycott of Israel.

On the record

Where Galil stands

Our opinion: Glover signed a statement supporting the cultural and academic boycott of Israel and objecting to the film’s screening at DocAviv. Galil opposes that institutional boycott; the cited statement does not establish that he sought to boycott individual Israeli artists because of identity. [USACBI cultural-boycott guidelines]
