Over 150 Jewish film artists have defended director Jonathan Glazer's Oscars speech about Jewishness and the war in Gaza. They expressed support for Glazer's remarks and emphasized the urgency of resisting dehumanization that leads to mass atrocities. The letter also called for a permanent cease-fire and an end to the ongoing bombardment of Gaza. The speech had sparked controversy, with some criticizing it for drawing a moral equivalence between the Holocaust and the situation in Israel. The new letter condemned the earlier condemnations and highlighted the importance of free speech and dissent in the industry.
