The 1940's and 1950s saw Hollywood, and American society as a whole, completely consumed by paranoia as the Red Scare swept across the Western world. The House of Un-American Activities Committee in the 1940s, and Senator Joseph McCarthy spearheaded investigations into Government and Entertainment to root out suspected Communists who they believed were working as spies for the USSR. This resulted in actual Hollywood screenwriters being sentenced to prison for refusing to testify against their fellow workers or tell the Committee about other socialists in Hollywood. This has been immortalised in films like Good Night, Good Luck and Trumbo - and 2023's Oppenheimer also showed this McCarthyite Red Scare in full effect.
Hollywood has always been a propaganda outlet for the US military, but more recently has collaborated more with the IDF. Organisations like the ADL have put pressure on studios to censor and fire those who would speak up for the Palestinians and has recently seen high profile firings of actors who support Palestinian humanity. It has essentially become a new Hollywood 'Red Scare', with actors staying silent out of fear of losing their income. On the other hand, Pro-Israeli actors like Amy Schumer have faced zero consequences for their gross social media posts supporting Israel's actions.
