Here's The Oscars Speech The Academy Literally Doesn't Want You To Watch
Jonathan Glazer won the Best International Feature Film award for his Holocaust drama "The Zone of Interest" and condemned the "occupation" for the war it has waged against innocent people. The Academy didn't post it to its official channel.

"Our film shows where dehumanisation leads at its worst. It's shaped all of our past and present," said Glazer, who is an English filmmaker and also Jewish. "Right now, 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 7th in Israel, or the ongoing attack on Gaza, all the victims of this dehumanization, how do we resist?"

    A Jewish man who clearly has no knowledge of eastern Mediterranean twentieth century history or the machinations of the arab league. Instead, feelings and sentimentality.

      what are you? A person who likes to see the innocent murdered by nasty little little men in suits? this is the 21st century and your mentality is pure 20th century nazi zionist league.

        A perfect example of my last sentence with added hyperbolic stupidity. Homo Sapiens have been murdering each other for over three hundred thousand years. It's what we do. It will never change. I suggest you take a more nuanced attitude towards your outrage and examine why things are like they are. Here's an example from recent history:- In the 1990's the Serbs went on the rampage killing untold Croats. Everybody hated the nasty Serbs. But here's the thing, during the second world war the Croats sided with Hitler and even had their own SS division which they used to relentlessly murder untold Serbs. Nothing is as it seems. But you should know that, being an all knowing 21st century man.
