Stars to fight anti-Semitism

Entertainment celebrities reportedly will participate in an ad campaign against anti-Semitism. Several film and music stars, who are not Jewish, have agreed in principle to appear in the "I am a Jew" public service announcements produced by the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding. MTV has agreed to donate studio space for the campaign, which may feature actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Denzel Washington and singers Beyonce Knowles and Ricky Martin, the Jerusalem Post reported.
