WGA Writer Resigns: Silence on Hamas Attack "Morally Bankrupt Wokeism"

Popular Israeli-American screenwriter Dan Gordon announced his decision to become a Financial Core (Fi-Core) non-member of the Writers Guild of America West after 56 years on Tuesday, calling out the union for staying silent on Hamas’ terror against Israel.

“I am resigning my membership in the WGA West and electing financial core status because I no longer wish to be a fellow traveler with those who hide behind the fetid veil of a morally bankrupt wokeism and stand silent in the face of a fanatical ideology no less explicit in its genocidal intent toward the Jewish people than that of Nazi Germany,” he said in a letter to WGA West’s membership administrator Patrick Cannon and assistant executive director Ellen Stutzman.

In the letter, Gordon slammed the union’s failure to show support for Israel as “appalling” and “repugnant,” adding an excerpt from the Hamas covenant that calls for murdering Jews.

[Dan Gordon has a lengthy resumé at IMDB. He wrote the Kevin Costner film “Wyatt Earp,” “Murder in the First,” the 2019 series finale “Rambo: Last Blood,” and more. Will more writers follow suit? — Ed]
