“We are here as men who refuse to have their Jewishness and the Holocaust hijacked by an ‘occupation’ which has led to conflict for so many innocent people”.
This is how British filmmaker Jonathan Glazer spouted forth idiocies as he received the Oscar for best international film for “The Zone of Interest”. So what if Gaza has not been under “occupation” since 2005 and Hamas does not know what to do with Glazer’s distancing from his own “Jewishness”? It’s like the Jewishness of Judith Butler, the gender philosopher of Berkeley who last week defined the massacre of 7th October as “armed resistance”. There are no “good Jews” in Hamas’ world.
