While accepting his award for Best International Film for The Zone of Interest at the Oscars on Sunday, director Jonathan Glazer spoke about the ongoing attack on Gaza, and not everyone was impressed.
Glazer's film follows the life of a Nazi commandant whose house is just outside Auschwitz concentration camp. During his speech, Glazer addressed the Israel-Hamas war.

Glazer took to the stage with producer James Wilson, both of whom are Jewish, and said: "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 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza, all the victims of this dehumanization, how do we resist?"
Media personality Rabbi Shmuley is one of many people who shared their thoughts on social media.
"Absolutely disgusting!! Jonathan Glazer who deserves so much credit for his incredible holocaust film "The zone of interest" which I loved, betrayed his people and disgraced himself and trivialized the 6 million martyrs of the holocaust, when he said that Israel's War in Gaza was hijacking the memory of the holocaust," he wrote.
"How dare you compare the two? You fool. The whole purpose of Israel's war in Gaza is to make sure THERE ISN'T A SECOND HOLOCAUST so we don't need more of your films because Jews actually remain alive. HAMAS HAS ONE INTENTION. GENOCIDE OF JEWS. How is it the Jews in Hollywood have absolutely no pride in being Jewish and never ever stand up for the only Jewish country on earth, Israel."

The Liberal goalposts always move Left because that is where the power gains are, for them.
These are internal sturggles for power within the Left, within the major institutions they control - which is all of them.
The more Left positioning always wins.
A good example - the Left forced the President of the United States to apologize for calling an illegal, an illegal.
Glazer refutes his Jewishness for money and fame. Despicable. I wonder if he had to pledge to criticize Israel in order to get the Oscar. One of the left’s favorite tactics is to get people to flip sides to sew dissension.
I think that nails it, and to which I can only add this comment about your “Friend Coalition” of the Left:
“The left is not made up of friends and allies. It’s made up of competing parasites.”
The entire Oscar’s was a clown show and tell. Bunch of creeps and immoral freaks. Giving awards for the best “Pretenders” is just stupid.
The Left is a Coalition of takers and parasites.
Nevertheless, the vocabulary of “Friend Coalition” and Friend-Enemy etc. comes from Carl Schmitt’s “Concept of the Political” and is descriptive of how political coalitions form, define their enemies, include and exclude. etc.
