Quick Glance: Support for Glazer's Oscar Speech: Open Letter from Jewish Hollywood Professionals
- More than 150 Jewish Hollywood professionals, including Joaquin Phoenix and Joel Coen, support Jonathan Glazer after facing intense backlash for his Oscar speech.
- The controversy over Glazer's remarks, where he rejected his 'Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people in Gaza and Israel', has persisted for weeks.
- Some filmmakers and organizations praised Glazer, emphasizing the complexity of views on the Israel-Gaza war and the rift it has created within the Jewish community.
- This week's letter expressed concern about the 'silencing effect' the attacks on Glazer could have, calling for a permanent ceasefire, safe return of hostages, and immediate aid delivery to Gaza.
Jonathan Glazer backed by over 150 Jewish creatives for Oscars speech on Gaza: ‘Our film shows where dehumanisation leads at its worst,’ the director had said
