"Jewish Creatives Rally Behind Jonathan Glazer's Oscars Speech on Gaza and Combatting Extremism"
Over 150 Jewish creatives, including Joaquin Phoenix, Elliott Gould, and Chloe Fineman, have signed an open letter supporting Jonathan Glazer's Oscars speech on Gaza, condemning military action against Palestinians. The speech has sparked both support and criticism, with some industry figures denouncing it while others defend it. The signees argue that attacks on Glazer distract from Israel's military campaign and contribute to a broader climate of suppression of free speech and dissent. Glazer's film "The Zone of Interest" follows an Auschwitz officer and his wife living near the concentration camp, and he has joined other celebrities in donating items to Cinema for Gaza to raise funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians.
