Oscars Controversy: Jewish Organizations Condemn Anti-Israel Speech

Jewish organizations have criticized director Jonathan Glazer for his Oscars speech, in which he suggested that Jewishness and the Holocaust were being exploited by Israel in the context of the conflict with Hamas. They accused Glazer of appropriating the Holocaust for his own political agenda and denounced his remarks as an affront to the memory of Holocaust survivors. Glazer's comments have been condemned as internalized antisemitism and a dangerous dilution of the Holocaust's memory, especially given the current rise of Holocaust denial.
