In a recent interview, renowned filmmaker Oliver Stone expressed strong criticism towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing him as a “mad man” and expressing deep concern over the ongoing conflict in the region. Stone, who had previously interviewed Netanyahu when he was out of office, believes the situation has worsened over time.

“Netanyahu is a mad man; I repeat that. To me, he’s a mad man,” Stone asserted. Reflecting on the recent violence, Stone expressed dismay at the justifications for what he perceives as “slaughter” and “revenge.” He questioned the feasibility of wiping out a political movement and condemned the perceived lack of a humane solution to the conflict.

Stone also weighed in on U.S. foreign policy, particularly during President Biden’s recent visit to Israel. Criticizing the financial support extended to Netanyahu, Stone lamented, “This is the problem with our country.” He suggested that the U.S. should reconsider its unwavering support for Israel and advocated for a more balanced approach.

“In that regard, I think Trump, although he supported Israel to a max and made quite a few mistakes in that regard, has better choices to make. We can’t do this, we can’t constantly support Israel. We have to say no, cut them off, cut off everything to them right now. That’s what I would do,” Stone stated.

Responding to potential accusations of anti-Semitism, Stone dismissed such claims and emphasized that the issue at hand is about justice, peace, balance, and basic human decency. He expressed frustration at the ongoing violence against Palestinians and questioned the methods employed in the conflict.

“I don’t understand how they can kill Palestinians like this. And now apparently, they’re killing… I mean, 20,000 was the last number I heard. [It’s 24,000 now.] Oh, gross. Jesus, I mean, it’s sad,” Stone remarked.

Despite his concerns, Stone acknowledged the challenges of taking action in Israel, stating, “I don’t know what to do. You can’t go over there because they shoot you.” Reflecting on a previous visit, he noted a brief period of calm in June 2023 but expressed disappointment that the situation has since deteriorated.
