At the 96th Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday night, British-Jewish director Jonathan Glazer, whose film, The Zone of Interest, had just won the Oscar for Best International Feature, made a somewhat garbled statement critical of the Israeli governments policy, conflating the Occupation with the Holocaust. Many Israeli officials and Jewish leaders criticized the statement, but some Jews in Hollywood actually cheered it. Thats because he did what so few who have criticized Israels decision to respond militarily to Hamass October 7 attack on Israel in which about 1,200 Israelis were murdered (and raped, burned, dismembered, and tortured) and 240 were taken hostage have done: He mentioned the victims of October 7 in Israel.

Fifteen Holocaust survivors criticized film director Jonathan Glazer for his Oscar speech claiming that Israel had hijacked the Holocaust in service of the conflict, saying that he should be ashamed to have used Auschwitz to attack the Jewish State. A survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald, and the only person of his 105 family members to survive, David Schaecter said that Glazer's comments were "factually inaccurate and morally indefensible."
