31 July, 2022

Description

LANA MELMAN is the CEO of Liberate Art Inc. and has been a leading expert in fighting the cultural boycott campaign against Israel since 2011. Her life mission is to educate others about the tactics, strategies, and goals of the boycott effort through speaking engagements, broadcast interviews, and opinion pieces in national and international publications. As a Hollywood liaison, Melman has worked with the representatives of over a thousand artists targeted by BDS, including Alicia Keys, Cyndi Lauper, and Pitbull. In 2014, she circulated a statement in support of Israel’s right to defend itself. Signed by over 300 Hollywood luminaries, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Seth Rogen, Kelsey Grammer, Sylvester Stallone, and Sarah Silverman, the declaration appeared in dozens of international publications. An attorney and 20-year veteran of the entertainment industry, Lana Melman’s previous career included serving in both business and creative capacities at CBS, Warner Bros., and Paramount. Her new book, ARTISTS UNDER FIRE: The BDS War Against Celebrities, Jews, and Israel (Lioncrest Publishing, May 2022; ISBN 978-1-5445-2850-2; $26.99) exposes antisemitic agendas infiltrating the entertainment Industry. Learn more at LiberateArt.net. In her book, Lana recounts stories involving Scarlett Johansson, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, The Rolling Stones, and other artists, who have been used as pawns by BDS in its crusade against Israel. She also calls out a group of artists led by Roger Waters (from Pink Floyd) who have joined the BDS movement - and she describes the hostilities that have arisen between them and other leaders in the industry because of their hatred toward the Jewish state and support of BDS.
