Oliver Stone apologises for Holocaust remark

Film director Oliver Stone apologized Tuesday for comments he made to a

London newspaper on the Holocaust and Jews' control of the media, which

drew an avalanche of criticism. In trying to make a broader historical point about

the range of atrocities the Germans committed against many people, I made a

clumsy association about the Holocaust, for which I am sorry and I regret,"

Stone said in a statement issued by his publicist. "Jews obviously do not control

media or any other industry." Stone's comments reported by London's Sunday

Times provoked a sharp response, including from the Simon Wiesenthal

Center, a group that combats anti-Semitism. Stone reportedly said that the

Holocaust is overemphasized because of the "Jewish domination of the media"

and also commented that "Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the

Jewish people." The director, who won Oscars for "Platoon" and "Born on the

Fourth of July," said he was not attempting to deny the Holocaust of World War

II.

@Piyyutim are you kidding? It's amazing. As is Casino and Platoon. You're a sore zionist. Zionist do control the media. His rebuke and subsequent apology for saying what he thought is proof of that. Stay in school moron.

[oranaise311318]

all those who said something TRUE about zionists, are "unfortuantely" forced to apologize unless they will see their career stopped by the Zionist hegemony on medias, politics, etc

People must REALIZE that all these jewish tyrannie should stop, yes jews should face critics like any other person on earth! this stupid "anti-semitism" this subterfuge used to escape from any critic must be banished! all human kind had faced horrors and worse then those of the WW2, why all have moved on!

@66ott7

So was the Emil Maurice, some are honourable (rarely) and others remain typical, part of the hive.

Hes also a former vietnam vet.

And hes right, they own hollywood and the media.

[66ott7]

Stone IS Jewish. wtf

[herbertwarmstrong]

It was Jews who created the television, do some research. So if Jews created the television, wouldn't it be safe to assume they would dominate something which they created and put their name too.

[billplatinum6]

Why does he apologize for this comment.......hes jewish!!!!!

[Bearlizard777]

Lulz! Jews control the mainstream media deal with it!

[paygi110709]

Cry me a river dude, he say the truth.

[arikcarlo]

@paygi110709 Oliver Stone should be ashamed of his racism, and for also provoking racism by his remarks.

His father was Jewish and must now be rolling over in his grave.

[bodhizephyr]

I believe all he is asking for is a balanced or wider account of atrocities/events in general within any media, regardless of race. Stone's father was Jewish. Media at its heart is inherently unbalanced, it will always serve an agenda/view point of some sort or another... thank you for the internet. Educate yourself.
