Early last week, we told you about Hollywood director Jonathan Glazer, and his awful, bitterly ironic Oscars acceptance speech. He was soundly, and justifiably, criticized for it at the time, and now an open letter signed by hundreds of Hollywood professionals is taking Glazer to task for what he said.

More than 450 Jewish creatives, executives and Hollywood professionals have signed an open letter denouncing Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” Oscar speech. https://t.co/nA5zDAk9N0

More from Variety:

More than 1,000 Jewish creatives, executives and Hollywood professionals have signed an open letter denouncing Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” Oscar speech.

The list of co-signees provided to Variety Monday morning covers a broad swath of the industry including actors (Debra Messing, Tovah Feldshuh), executives (Gary Barber, Gail Berman), creators (Amy Sherman-Palladino), directors (Eli Roth, Rod Lurie), producers (Lawrence Bender, Amy Pascal, Hawk Koch, Sherry Lansing) and representatives (UTA’s Jake Fenton, Gersh’s Jeffrey Greenberg, attorney Craig Emmanuel). About 500 more individuals have added their names to the nearly 500 who signed on when the open letter was first published.

The group’s statement says: “We refute our Jewishness being hijacked for the purpose of drawing a moral equivalence between a Nazi regime that sought to exterminate a race of people, and an Israeli nation that seeks to avert its own extermination.”

Glazer declined to comment.

Good for them. Glazer should not get to hide behind the fact he's Jewish to excuse what he said.

There are a lot of people mad that they're standing up for themselves.

do you have a list of signees? I’m sure they may work again but nobody will see their movies. We will make sure of it.

Yeah, good luck with that.

I would simply not choose, in March 2024(!), to add myself to a list of known defenders of genocide. But maybe I’m built differently.

They keep saying 'genocide', but we all know the only ones engaged in genocide are Hamas.

What on earth are these people talking about? There is a literal occupation, even the UN recognizes it as such. https://t.co/EGvK63OWLS pic.twitter.com/X8PkJZwUxw

Oh, the UN. That totally upstanding, not at all corrupt governing body? That's changed our minds!

Not.

After winning an Oscar for a film about a man who ignores the suffering of Jews in his own neighborhood during the Holocaust. You can't make this stuff up.

Nice to see—Jewish members of Hollywood with a spine:

“We refute our Jewishness being hijacked for the purpose of drawing a moral equivalence between a Nazi regime that sought to exterminate a race of people, and an Israeli nation that seeks to avert its own extermination.” https://t.co/DzaWbvCOb3 pic.twitter.com/9n4ReDNwas

There's quite the list of names there. Jennifer Jason Leigh was fantastic in the last season of 'Fargo', by the way.

But we digress.

"We refute our Jewishness being hijacked for the purpose of drawing a moral equivalence between a Nazi regime that sought to exterminate a race of people, & an Israeli nation that seeks to avert its own extermination."

A strong response to Jonathan Glazer from 450 Jews in Hlywd. https://t.co/RHrN2YFsno

A very strong response.

Hell yes https://t.co/t1GWXiHLZ4

Hell yes, indeed.

I think title should've said, 'A thousand Jewish Hollywood creatives....'

[RoosterRedux]

A message to powerful Hollywood Jews from folks on the Left:

"We need your signatures on a letter to Americans as to how you condemn Israel. To add your much-needed signature to this letter, please get in the line formed outside the boxcar...and ignore the conductor who says 'Next stop, Deathcamp.'

(There is a literal occupation, even the UN recognizes it as such.)

The Godless Reprobate United Nations awaits their Antichrist.

He will appear to be a good friend to Israel, confirming a covenant of 7 years of 'Peace and Security'. 3-1/2 years later, he will declare himself to be 'god' and the Abomination that Causes Desolation will be set up in Jerusalem.

And the Secular Godless Reprobate Globalists will be deceived by the False Prophet and the False Messiah Antichrist





(lurkers please click on my screen name to see my FR homepage for more information) Mark my words.

The Oscar speeches in which the award winners praised their producers/film chiefs, their families, their staffs and agents and got off the stage without being given the hook were good

They know they have a stage and mic for their film credits and they don’t abuse it.

Jimmy Kimmel better be replaced preferably with John Mulaney. There won’t be a Nolan film next year already so no other reason to tune in.

(Mark my words.)

Oops paste got in the middle accidentally.

The United Nations will gladly receive the Antichrist as “messiah”

[Hatteras]

Can anybody format an article citing numerous X tweets for us stoopid people? Can never figure out who is twittering what so I pretty much stop at that point.

[spincaster]

Who?

[SaveFerris]

Just saw your post.

If you’re asking who is the Antichrist well the world doesn’t know yet. Nor do I.

But the various agendas of the United Nations are abundantly clear, I believe.

After Resolution 181 they’ve been rather against the nation of Israel consistently.
