450 Hollywood Jews to Jonathan Glazer: We Refute *You*

An open letter condemning Jonathan Glazer‘s Zone of Interest Oscars acceptance speech has been signed by more than 450 Jewish Hollywood professionals.

The group consists of actors, executives, directors, creators, producers and representatives denouncing Glazer’s controversial comments made when accepting the Academy Award for best international film on March 10.

“We refute our Jewishness being hijacked for the purpose of drawing a moral equivalence between a Nazi regime that sought to exterminate a race of people, and an Israeli nation that seeks to avert its own extermination,” the letter reads.

More of this, please. Many of the names will not be familiar to us, although a few are. Michael Rapaport, for instance, has been agitating against Hollywood progressives almost since the start of the war on October 7. Julianna Margulies has also been outspoken about the rising tide of anti-Semitism in and out of Hollywood, as has fellow actor Debra Messing. Jennifer Jason Leigh signed on and has been outspoken of late on social media on the issue. 

Behind the camera, we have some notables too. Writer/director Amy Sherman-Palladino just came off of the fabulously successful The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, but Sherry Lansing is probably the biggest power player on the list. Eli Roth, who makes notable appearances behind and in front of the camera, is also on the list.

Among the missing are Steven Spielberg, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, and other called out by Rapaport a couple of weeks back in his biting satire of the Oscars. That's interesting.
