The Simon Wiesenthal Center on Monday welcomed a statement made by American actress Jane Fonda to clarify her participation in the “Toronto Declaration” a document signed by over 1,000 actors, directors, and writers and others protesting the Toronto Film Festival’s spotlight on Tel Aviv’s 100th anniversary saying that Israel’s cultural capital, “is built on destroyed Palestinian villages,” and that the “use of such an important international festival in staging a propaganda campaign on behalf of … an apartheid regime.” In her statement, which appeared in The Huffington Post, Fonda said she signed the letter, “without reading it carefully enough, without asking myself if some of the wording wouldn't exacerbate the situation rather than bring about constructive dialogue.” "The Simon Wiesenthal Center welcomes her acknowledgment that the Declaration was one-sided, that the description of Tel Aviv was unfair and that only the Palestinian point of view was presented and that the Declaration completely ignored the thousands of Hamas rockets fired into Sderot which left Israel no alternative except to enter Gaza – something they did not want to do" he concluded.
