An open letter condemning Jonathan Glazer’s Oscars speech has gained hundreds of signatures days after the speech happened.
Jonathan Glazer accepts the award for best international feature film for “The Zone of Interest” at the Oscars on March 10. Several hundred Jewish Hollywood creatives have reportedly signed an open letter condemning filmmaker Jonathan Glazer’s acceptance speech at the 96th Academy Awards.“Our film shows where dehumanization leads, at its worst. It shaped all of our past and present,” said Glazer, who is Jewish, in his.
He added: “Whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza, all the victims of this dehumanization, how do we resist?”Glazer’s words sparked outrage within Hollywood, with many Jewish creatives denouncing his speech in the open letter.
It adds: “ gives credence to the modern blood libel that fuels a growing anti-Jewish hatred around the world, in the United States, and in Hollywood. The current climate of growing antisemitism only underscores the need for the Jewish State of Israel, a place which will always take us in, as no state did during the Holocaust depicted in Mr. Glazer’s film.”Representatives for Glazer did not respond to a request for comment.
The open letter is the latest piece of backlash against Glazer’s speech. In the immediate aftermath on Oscar night, social media users took aim at Glazer’s words, circling in on the line about people refuting their Jewishness. Holocaust Survivors Foundation President David Schaecter“Worse is that you chose to use the Holocaust to validate your personal opinion,” Schaecter wrote. “You made a Holocaust movie and won an Oscar. And you are Jewish. Good for you.
