Over 450 Jewish actors, producers, creatives and Hollywood executives have denounced the ‘Zone of Interest’ director's controversial Oscars speech.

When the director went up to accept his Academy Award, he delivered an acceptance speech about the Israel-Hamas war.

Glazer’s speech was applauded but also met with a private outrage as many disagreed with the contents of it.

The Hollywood industry workers released an open letter on Monday, denouncing Glazer’s Oscars acceptance speech.

The list of workers contained the names of Jewish actors, producers, creators and executives.

Producer of the hit TV series ‘Modern Family’ Ilana Wernick spoke to Variety about Glazer's speech and what led to the open letter.

“His words sounded eerily similar to Vanessa Redgrave’s infamous ‘Zionist hoodlum’ speech. Only this time, there was no Paddy Chayefsky to stand up and say the right thing,” she said.

“Sadly, Jew-hatred won the day. That’s why so many of us in the industry reached out to each other. It was a very sad, very scary night. Writing the letter wasn’t just cathartic for us. It’s something we had to do.”

What a brave man indeed, for not choosing either Palestine or Isreal's side, but he chose the human side . Being objective and humane these days isn't easy, gladly people like Glazer exist .

So, he said, “don’t take my ethnicity and the history of oppression of my people and turn it into an excuse to do the same to others, ” and people had a problem with that?

It was not controversial it was the truth. Only to Zionists was it a problem. This Jew agrees with him

Glazer's comments were absolutely spot on. The fact that a bunch of actors are implying a Jewish man's comments rightfully comparing two genocides as Anti-Semitism is ridiculous.

Anyone siding with Israel over this genocide of Palestinians is pro-genocide. It really is that simple.

I don't follow Hollywood movies, and did not know that Mark Ruffalo has played Hulk. But I see on a youttube channel the comment
"You don't need to be the Hulk to defend Palestine, you just need to be human". It is irojnic that the letter denouncing Glazer uses the phrase "refute his jewishness being hijacked, " because this phrase was lifted from Glazer's speech: "we.... who refute their jewishness and the the holocaust being hijacked".

Defending the genocide in Gaza that we see every day has no name. People like Glazer are the ones making a difference by bravely standing up to these people.

Nothing is seen as more repulsive in this world than someone saying all human life has equal value.

So.. Brett Gelman (?) is “hurt” & “truly baffled” that people didn’t speak up but.. didn’t Brett Gelman also sit silently & not speak up? Ya.. okay. 🤨

“If I were an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? [...] They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?” — David Ben-Gurion. Israel's first prime minister

I agree with the Jewish Letter Writers. If Mr. Grazier said urged a CEasefire and denounced the actions of the Natahanyu Government- that would have been OK. People may not agree with what he said, but it would not have had incurred the strong reactions he got..
I agree t with the Writers of the letter to Mr. Grazier. To say that the Jews stole the Land is a Lie. The Balfour DEclaration and the UN gave a Stare Solution which the Arabs refused to abide by and opene dup a War with the Jews and their new Jewish State. The Palestinians have refused Peace Treaties with Israel refusing to accept a Jewish State. This is why there is a WAr in Gaza and People are being killed.

Letter sounds as though it was written by Ben Gantz. “Not targeting civilians” 😂. Did Laurel and Hardy co-sign it?
