Hollywood producer MRC became the rare entertainment company on Tuesday to unequivocally condemn “in the strongest possible terms” Saturday’s attacks on Israeli citizens from terrorist organization Hamas.
Signed by the independent TV and film studio’s CEO Scott Tenley and cofounders Asif Satchu and Modi Wiczyk, the internal memo, as received by TheWrap, said that while “we do not forget the millions of Palestinians who crave peace but are under Hamas rule” and “we stand with you too in the struggle,” there is “no moral equivalence for terrorism and there is no hedging on Hamas.”
The memo also nodded to the studios’ previous decision to produce — and then shelve — a documentary on rapper Kanye “Ye” West in 2022, who became notorious at the time for his continued antisemitic tirades.
