'''Creative Community for Peace''' (CCFP) is a front for the right-wing pro-Israel lobby group [[StandWithUs]] (SWU), that has close ties to the Israeli Foreign Ministry.

The membership of its board overlaps with SWU, it has shared an office with the same organisation, is a legally registered trading name of SWU (along with 'Israel Emergency Network' or 'Israel Emergency Alliance') and has received donations through SWU.

It works to counter the cultural boycott of Israel and - despite its own political allegiances - claims 'music and the arts should not be politicized'.<ref>Phan Nguyen, [http://mondoweiss.net/2013/10/apolitical-organization-combatting.html '"Apolitical" arts organization combatting BDS is front for pro-settler group tied to Israeli foreign ministry'], Mondoweiss, 24 October 2013, accessed 9 September 2014</ref>

 After a number of high profile celebrities expressed public criticism of Israel and/or sympathy for Gaza during 'Operation Protective Edge' (Jul-Aug 2014), Creative Community for Peace published a statement signed by nearly 200 entertainment industry workers condemning Hamas for its '[ideology] of hatred and genocide, its rocket attacks on Israel and for holding Gazans 'hostage':
