Director Who Won Oscar For Holocaust Film Smears Israel Over War Against Hamas

The director of a Holocaust film that won an award on Sunday night at the Oscars used his moment on stage to slam Israel with false claims about what is going on inside of Gaza.

Jonathan Glazer — who directed “The Zone of Interest,” a film about the life of a Nazi commandant who lived next to the Auschwitz concentration camp that won the Academy Award for Best International Film — first thanked all the institutions that helped him create the film.

“All our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present, not to say look what they did then, rather look what we do now,” he said. “Our film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst. It shaped all of our past and present.”

“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,” he continued. “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?”
