Joaquin Phoenix, 150 Hollywood Jewish creatives defend Oscar winner's speech condemning Israel

The open letter denounced those who wrote in objection to director Jonathan Glazer's moral equivalence between the Jewish State and Hamas

Actors Joaquin Phoenix, Debra Winger, Chloe Fineman and nearly 150 other Jewish Hollywood creatives signed a letter Friday defending filmmaker Jonathan Glazer’s Oscars acceptance speech last month that critics saw as equating Israel with the Nazis and Hamas.

The open letter accused Glazer’s critics of suppressing speech within Hollywood, stating, "The attacks on Glazer also have a silencing effect on our industry, contributing to a broader climate of suppression of free speech and dissent, the very qualities our field should cherish."

According to Hollywood outlet Variety, other signatories of this letter include filmmakers Todd Haynes and Joel Coen, actors Hari Nef and David Cross, as well as IndieWire film critic David Erlich.

The letter declared, "We are Jewish artists, filmmakers, writers and creative professionals who support Jonathan Glazer’s statement from the 2024 Oscars. We were alarmed to see some of our colleagues in the industry mischaracterize and denounce his remarks."

It appeared to be a direct response to an opposing letter signed by more than 1,000 Jewish Hollywood creatives slamming Glazer’s speech shortly after the March 10 ceremony. That message accused "The Zone of Interest" director of furthering the "growing anti-Jewish hatred around the world."

Glazer made the head-turning speech while accepting the Best International Feature Academy Award for his film following the lives of a Nazi SS commandant and his family as they live next to the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II.

In the speech, Glazer appeared to tie the film’s holocaust themes to the Israeli "occupation" of Palestinians, blaming it for the longstanding Middle East "conflict,"

So NOW suppressing free speech is an issue with these a-hole celebs. BTW, HamASS has universal support from the "mostly peaceful" people of Gaza, with their orgasmic reaction to the 10/7 attacks on Israel and the rapes and mutilations of Israeli women and children. (#meToo unless your a Jew). And they love to use their own kids as cannon fodder



At this point I don't GAFF how many Gazan 💩bags are introduced to Allah. Libs like to make moral equivocations especially when it comes to Israel? The peace loving Gazans are the MORAL EQUIVALENT of war criminals.

That’s hilarious! Suddenly they care about not suppressing free speech when that’s what they’ve done to conservatives for the last 15 years! Irony is lost on these idiots.

Criticism and denouncing isn’t censoring speech you overpaid, over important stupid twits.

Jews seem to hate other Jews more than the Palestinians hate Jews.

“ Creatives?”

Funny isn’t it. Hollywood hasn’t been creative in a very long time.

If we could only talk ONE Arab nation into accepting Gaza refugees... So far, not a single Arab country will allow such entry.

That is a powerful statement from close neighbors.

No hugs from that neighborhood.

Disagreement with dissent stifles free speech? That's a toddlers personality that the toddler will outgrow. Pray for the adults that forgot to grow up.

I liked the Jonny Cash movie he did. I’ve watched that movie a couple of times.After that movie he became a hermit for a while. He should have never reappeared.

Having the 911 call you placed where you’re bawling your eyes out, b/c your famous older brother OD’d on coke and heroin, played over and over on all the news channels and talk shows could make one a little, “off.”

If Hamas terrorists chopped off a few Hollywood heads, there might be a little empathy for victims.

I can’t think of a single movie with Joaquin Phoenix in it that didn’t suck except 8mm, but that was before Nicholas Cage movies started to suck.

Put these nit wits on a bus and drop the off in Gaza, without media coverage.
What would be the over/under on their survival?
