A new campaign to fight antisemitism is in the works, one in which exclusively non-Jewish movie stars and pop singers will declare to the world "I am a Jew," as a sign of solidarity.
From the Jerusalem Post:
Several stars of the pop charts and the silver screen have agreed in principle to film public service announcements denouncing worldwide anti-Semitism and identifying with the Jewish people. MTV is donating studio time for filming the ads, which are to appear in Europe, the US and even Israel.
The "I am a Jew" ads are the latest idea from the New York-based Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, which works to promote cross-cultural dialogue.
Rumors that Denzel Washington and Ricky Martin, Knowles, DiCaprio, and other big-name stars had expressed interest in the project have Entertainment Tonight and VH-1 eager to cover the story...The foundation is specifically seeking famous black, Latino and Asian artists to drive home the message to those minority groups. The way it looks now, the foundation will have to turn some stars away.
I AM A JEW!!! I AM PROUD TO BE A JEW!!!

Not only am I a Jew, but I am a Black Jew from Los Angeles. I would love to take part in this project. Only thing is, I'm not famous and far from rich!
