Argentine filmmaker Norman Briski has voiced unwavering support for the Palestinian cause, emphasizing that “Gaza will never be defeated.”
In an interview with the Brazilian outlets The Palestine Chronicle and A Nova Democracia, Briski highlighted the importance of global solidarity with Palestinians in the face of the Israeli “genocide.”
Briski, one of Argentina’s most prominent directors, stated, “A true Jew will defend the Palestinian people,” underscoring his belief that the concept of genocide in Gaza has gained global recognition.
He urged solidarity with Palestinians as a universal struggle for freedom against imperialism, drawing parallels between their plight in the Middle East and the historical struggles of Latin American peoples against colonialism.
During his speech at the Martín Fierro Awards on October 24, 2024, Briski declared, “Gaza, Gaza, Gaza,” affirming that the besieged coastal enclave “will never be defeated.”
The 86-year-old filmmaker added, “I don’t care if the audience applauds me, but in my blood, in my ancestry, I feel solidarity with a people who are being killed.”
Briski also criticized the Argentine government, led by President Javier Milei, for its pro-Israel stance.
He linked this position to increasing “civil complicity” in supporting colonial projects.
Warning of imperialism’s expansionist ambitions, he argued, “An economic solution based on genocide represents the failure of a model that will lead to new barbarism.”
