From the article.
Spielberg also directly addressed the current conflict in Gaza for the first time, saying: “We can rage against the heinous acts committed by the terrorists of October 7th and also decry the killing of innocent women and children in Gaza.”
Also this was interesting:
What was the speak in a nutshell? Calling it genocide
It was something like they made this movie to reflect atrocities in the past and present, and they refute to be connected to Israel who is committing their acts in the name of all the jewish
“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 the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza, all [are] victims of this dehumanization.”
To add - the media reported only the part which said "we refute our Jewishness", without the additional context. Hence the controversy.
Yes, I also think it could have been worded a little more clearly. But definitely not Glazer's fault that he was misrepresented.
Nobody signed that letter. It was a change.org petition and one of the names was Riverto Thesea (rivier to the sea)
That just means One State, but its ambiguous if its pro Israeli or pro Palestinian
It's unambiguous that it's not a person's actual name.
But can we decry the genocide being committed by Israel or will be try to downplay it with weasel words.
Right. He got close to calling that out without saying the word genocide which it absolutely is. I am truly shocked that in my lifetime I am seeing the same atrocities committed toward the Jewish people, now being committed by them on others. Really a sad underscore of human nature. I guess what goes round comes round.
Yeah this is what bothers me the most, and no doubt fuels the 'maybe Hitler was right' tinfoilers. Israel isnt doing the Jewish any favours right now.
Yeah he's right. That first part can be about America or the world at large, not specifically Gaza.
What first part are you referring too?
What's in the headline about antisemitism.
