being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people, whether the victims of October 7 in Israel or the ongoing attack in Gaza.
Good to see some sanity, someone pointing out that the loss of life on October 7th was ultimately caused by the occupation. Had there been no occupation there would not have been an Oct 7.
“If Israel didn’t exist there would be no people fighting against the existence of Israel” … What the Fuck?
What kind of role reversal is that blaming October 7. on the “occupation” seriously? I’m not saying Israels government didn’t have a hand in creating adversity and Terrorism by suppressing the Palestinian people but to claim the horrific massacres were there fault is just plain evil.
75 years of active apartheid, violence, and genocidal warfare will eventually lead to the oppressed to act in any manner possible
Funny to me how Americans get hard over imaginary struggle stories but condemn the Palestinian resistance
Oh booo fucking hoooo, they took hostages, well removed. Those hostages are European colonization settlers on THEIR land. If it was Chinese occupying America you would do much much worse than anything Palestinian resistance groups (incl Hamas) ever did on Oct 7.
Reminds me of South Africa during the apartheid period. Resistance groups always arise when people are oppressed, and they may go to extremes.

Not an American but sure fight the strawmen.

To say all the hostages are European Settlers is just such a false view of the facts. A lot of these people weren’t settlers. And to assume they are “European” (by which I assume you mean White) is also wrong. There are Jews (and Arabs) that live (and have lived) in this region for centuries, also there is a huge population of Jews that are black or general POC.

This shit doesn’t work anymore. Not here at least…
What kind of role reversal is that blaming October 7. on the “occupation” seriously?
Yeah, how can we blame the people who oppressed a minority for close to a century for fighting back??? That’s just insanity!!1!
Mostly it’s the Christians that support Israel… they want to bring about the end times and they think that the Jews destroying the Muslims is the only way to make it happen. I really wish I was making this up. They are indeed that stupid.
At some point when people ask about the Holocaust, we’re going to have to start asking “which one?”
Message to Glazer - do not for one moment believe that Hamas would spare you because you “refute your Jewishness.”
“Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people, whether the victims of October 7 in Israel or the ongoing attack in Gaza."
They do not refute their Jewisness, they refute their Jewishness being hijacked. It is quite obvious, except if you want to troll…

Fortunately he doesn’t have to worry too much about Hamas because he’s not occupying their land.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Jonathan Glazer, the director of Auschwitz-set film The Zone of Interest, won cheers and applause at the Academy Awards for a speech in which he decried the current conflict in the Middle East.
Glazer took to the stage to accept the Oscar for best international film – the first time Britain has won the prize – for his German-language, Polish-shot adaptation of the Martin Amis novel.
Glazer – who, like Wilson, is Jewish - continued: “Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people, whether the victims of October 7 in Israel or the ongoing attack in Gaza.”
She recounted how she had cycled to the camp to leave apples, and how she had found the mysterious piece of written music, which, it turned out, had been composed by an Auschwitz prisoner called Thomas Wolf, who survived the war.
It defeated a field that included Spanish-produced air crash drama Society of the Snow, directed by JA Bayona, and Japanese toilet-cleaner character study Perfect Days, directed by Wim Wenders.
Anatomy of a Fall, Zone of Interest’s main non-English-language rival on the awards circuit this year, was not nominated, after France’s Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée instead put forward the Juliette Binoche foodie drama The Taste of Things as the country’s submission.
The original article contains 446 words, the summary contains 233 words. Saved 48%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Awful TLDR. Talks about Glazer, says he then she.
I often feel this bot is no better than selecting random bits from an article. I’m exaggerating a bit, but it’s clear the bot doesn’t actually understand the essence of what’s written.
That said, I do still appreciate it for getting at least a gist of what an article is about. And I very much appreciate the people working on it and making it available.
Yep. Often this sort of summary is generated by finding the most interconnected parts of text, and assuming they are the most important, then slapping them together. While it generally does pull out the most relevant bits, there’s no guarantee that they’ll make contextual sense together.
Once you understand how it works and its shortcomings, you can make better use of it as a tool.
I mean, it’s a bot that just selects pseudorandom bits of the article, there’s nothing else to it.
