Accepting the award for best international film for The Zone of Interest, Glazer took to the stage to make an impassioned call for his Auschwitz drama to make people reassess the contemporary conflict in the middle east
being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people, whether the victims of October 7 in Israel or the ongoing attack in Gaza.
Good to see some sanity, someone pointing out that the loss of life on October 7th was ultimately caused by the occupation. Had there been no occupation there would not have been an Oct 7.
“If Israel didn’t exist there would be no people fighting against the existence of Israel” … What the Fuck?
What kind of role reversal is that blaming October 7. on the “occupation” seriously?
I’m not saying Israels government didn’t have a hand in creating adversity and Terrorism by suppressing the Palestinian people but to claim the horrific massacres were there fault is just plain evil.
75 years of active apartheid, violence, and genocidal warfare will eventually lead to the oppressed to act in any manner possible
Funny to me how Americans get hard over imaginary struggle stories but condemn the Palestinian resistance
Oh booo fucking hoooo, they took hostages, well removed. Those hostages are European colonization settlers on THEIR land. If it was Chinese occupying America you would do much much worse than anything Palestinian resistance groups (incl Hamas) ever did on Oct 7.
To say all the hostages are European Settlers is just such a false view of the facts. A lot of these people weren’t settlers. And to assume they are “European” (by which I assume you mean White) is also wrong. There are Jews (and Arabs) that live (and have lived) in this region for centuries, also there is a huge population of Jews that are black or general POC.

Reminds me of South Africa during the apartheid period. Resistance groups always arise when people are oppressed, and they may go to extremes.
Not an American but sure fight the strawmen.
