Schindler’s List director says in speech marking 30th anniversary of the USC Shoah Foundation that he is alarmed that ‘we may … once again have to fight for the very right to be Jewish’.
In remarks reported by Deadline, Spielberg said: “Those who can not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. I am increasingly alarmed that we may be condemned to repeat history – to once again have to fight for the very right to be Jewish.”
He added: “The echoes of history are unmistakable in our current climate. The rise of extremist views has created a dangerous environment, and radical intolerance leads a society to no longer celebrate differences but instead conspire to demonise those who are different to the point of creating ‘the Other’… This is happening alongside anti-Muslim, Arab, and Sikh discrimination. The creation of ‘the Other’ and the dehumanisation of any group based on their differences, is the foundation of fascism.”
Spielberg also directly addressed the current conflict in Gaza for the first time, saying: “We can rage against the heinous acts committed by the terrorists of October 7th and also decry the killing of innocent women and children in Gaza.”
Ah as long as it’s only innocent men it’s ok. It’s also ok to blow up residential buildings, school, and universities to rob the people of any chance to rebuild. It’s also ok to mock and torture prisoners. It’s also ok just to starve an entire people, since starvation is very difficult to actually die from since most will die of their disgusting Palestinian diseases before that due to the weaked immune system. As long as it’s done by a Jewish person that is, of course. Only people who were once the exterminatee can be the exterminator, as is known.
