Just realized something appalling in the movie


I noticed that there's an absence of the Star of David on the sleeves of the Jews with the word "Jude" written. They were yellow in real life. But instead of keeping some personal integrity, Roman Polanski have exchanged those stars with the literal flag of Israel on all the Jews. So he's basically marginalizing the suffering of people, and fitting them all into the same category, as Jews for Israel. If you read even deeper into it, in the Jewish holy scriptures it said that Jews will return to the promised land minus six million of their own numbers. Now just think about the fact that Roman Polanski is using the memory of the suffering of real people to weave a bunch of political propaganda, of which not every Jew would count themselves. Not all Jews at the time were in favor of creating a strict ethno-state for Jews. Roman Polanski is basically a huge racist and supremacist that dishonors the memory of victims of World War 2. And he's also a child molester. What a colossal monster.

actually according to the Holocaust Memorial Center (though dont know whether you would believe anything anyone Jewish says ) there were a variety of badges/armbands used across Nazi occupied Europe all on a variant of the Star of David but including actually one with a Star of David in blue on a white background
