Jewish Director at Oscars: Israel’s ‘Occupation’ Caused ‘Conflict for so Many Innocent People’

We can always rely on Hollywood to get on the wrong side of politics at awards shows.

Anti-Israel attitudes appeared everywhere at the Oscars.

Anti-Israel Protest in Acceptance Speeches

Jonathan Glazer, who is Jewish, won an Oscar for his Holocaust drama.

Jewish. Holocaust movie.

What does he do? He decries Israel’s “occupation” of Palestine, casually blaming the Jewish State for everything that has happened in the area since its formation (emphasis mine):

“All of our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present, not to say look what they did then, rather, look what we do now,” Glazer said of his Holocaust drama in his Oscar acceptance speech. “Our film shows where dehumanization leads, at it’s worst. It shaped all of our past and present. Right now, we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people. Whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel, or the ongoing attack on Gaza, or the victims of this dehumanization. How do we resist?”

Anti-Israel Protest

Of course, they had to protest before the Oscars, causing delays and chaos.

Artists4Ceasefire Pins

A lot of people wore pins that said Artists4Ceasefire. Yup. Over 400 celebrities signed the petition. The statement from the organization included Israel and the hostages, but come on. We all know who would benefit from a ceasefire…Hamas.

One artist slipped off the mask:

One man wore a Palestine flag pin. One observer on Twitter applauded this move because they’re not hiding behind supposed bipartisanship.
