Re Glazer

This is a hopeless piece of coverage and I’m surprised. It is amazing how such a clear and brave statement has been so widely misinterpreted… he was clearly refuting the hijacking of his Jewishness by the occupation which is killing so many people in Israel and Gaza… that ‘s clearly a reference to the current aggressive, genocidal and apartheid tendencies which tragically characterise the current identity of Israel . In fact as Naomi Klein I think sez in the guardian today, his film is about people who continue to pursue their best life in spite of the terror and destruction that is being carried out in their name all around them. Please read this article in the London review of books and find some serious historical analysis of the hijacking of which Glazer speaks. https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/n06/pankaj-mishra/the-shoah-after-gaza
