"Award-winning playwright and screenwriter Tony Kushner is baffled by the controversy over director Jonathan Glazer's remarks at the 2024 Oscar Awards.
Speaking with host Allison Kaplan Sommer on the Haaretz Podcast, Kushner called Glazer's Oscar speech "unimpeachable and irrefutable."
"What he was saying is so simple: that Jewishness, Jewish identity, Jewish history, the history of the Holocaust, the history of Jewish suffering, must not be used in the campaign as an excuse for a project of dehumanizing or slaughtering other people. This is a misappropriation of what it means to be a Jew and what the Holocaust meant. He rejects that. Who doesn't agree?""
