DENNIS BROE interprets the film director’s challenge and the zionist chorus in response to it 
(L) Palestinians flee Gaza City to the southern Gaza Strip, in Wadi Gaza, last Monday; (R) Warsaw Ghetto Uprising 1943 - Identity of the boy in the front was not confirmed, but is possibly Artur Dab Siemiatek, Levi Zelinwarger or Tsvi Nussbaum; Leo Kartuzinski - teenaged boy in the background with white bag on his shoulder; Golda Stavarowski, with one hand raised; Josef Blosche - SS man with gun, was executed in 1969 [Jurgen Stroop Report to Heinrich Himmler/Public Domain]

JONATHAN GLAZER is the Academy Award and Bafta-winning director of Zone of Interest, a film that highlights, as he says, “dehumanisation” as practiced outside the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz where the carnage only appears on the off-screen soundtrack.

He has come under attack, not for anything in the film, but for daring to insinuate in his Academy acceptance speech that there is an echo of the film in the “dehumanising” way the genocide in Gaza is being routinely fostered, facilitated and ignored in the West.
