 It appears that Jewish filmmaker Sarah Friedland used her platform at the Venice film festival to speak out against genocide and oppression. According to an article by David Icke, she made a powerful statement accepting an award on behalf of the Palestinian people, acknowledging Israel's ongoing occupation of Gaza (76 years) and the genocide in Gaza (336 days).

The article notes that Friedland used her platform to stand up for justice and human rights, despite being part of the Jewish community. This act of solidarity and moral courage is significant, especially considering the complex and often contentious issues surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

It's essential to recognize and amplify voices like Friedland's, which challenge dominant narratives and promote empathy and understanding. Her actions demonstrate that even within marginalized or targeted communities, individuals can choose to take a stance against oppression and work towards creating a more just world.
