Anti-Israel Protests at the Academy Awards
Anti-Israel protesters marched through the streets ahead of the Academy Awards calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, criticizing Hollywood's support of U.S.-funded Israeli actions in Gaza. Police issued a dispersal order for unlawful assembly near the Oscars venue. Protests aimed to disrupt the event and highlight retaliation against industry figures critical of Israel. Recent polls suggest challenges for Biden with young voters due to his support of Israel. Director Paul Roland Bois promoted his film 'EXEMPLUM' during the protests.
