Tarantino is booed by pro-Palestine demonstrators in New York – “Zionist garbage”

Award-winning Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino was photographed with Israeli soldiers at a military base in southern occupied Palestine, sparking online outrage and protests against him during a trip to New York. This incident highlights the distance between Hollywood and the general population in the United States.

Tarantino’s “loyalty” to Israel dates back to the period of the war launched by Israel in Gaza, which began on October 7.

International director Quentin Tarantino, known for films such as “Kill Bill,” “Pulp Fiction” and “Django Unchained,” is now facing accusations from former fans that he supports the ongoing genocide. These reactions come against the backdrop of the publication of videos and pictures showing him with Israeli soldiers in military units.

On October 15, during a tour of kibbutzim and cities in southern Israel, Tarantino visited the Negev region to support local Israeli businesses. He was photographed enjoying a “wonderful feast” and praised the “hospitality” of southern Israeli communities.

After it emerged that he was visiting Israeli military bases, Tarantino’s actions received widespread attention. He had participated in an organized tour allegedly aimed at “boosting morale” of the Israeli armed forces as they prepared to launch a ground attack on Gaza.

She appears to be shouting at director Quentin Tarantino. “Why are you Zionist scum”?

He smiles and folds his arms, as seen in the video. “You’re going to Israel,” she presses as workers push her out of the restaurant.

His relationship with Israel

Tarantino’s “loyalty” to Israel goes back to the war that Israel launched on Gaza on October 7th. He officially visited Israel for the first time in 2009 to open the premiere of his film Inglourious Basterds, set in an alternate reality where high-ranking Nazi officials are being hunted. During this visit, he met Daniela Beck, an Israeli model and daughter of Svika Beck, known as the “King of Pop in Israel”, who later became his wife.

In 2018, Tarantino married Daniela Beck in a Jewish wedding held in the United States. The couple has since had two children, born at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv. For the past five years they have been living between Tel Aviv and Hollywood, where Tarantino has made contacts throughout the Israeli film industry.

Quentin Tarantino has also come under fire for his friendship with serial sex offender Harvey Weinstein, admitting: “I knew he did some of that stuff.”

Tarantino’s behavior recently received widespread attention after he confronted protesters during a dinner party in New York. The demonstrators booed him, accusing him of being a Zionist and supporting a military campaign of genocide. His support for the Israeli military highlights a broader trend among the Hollywood elite to disconnect from the general population, especially on social and political issues.

Previous accidents

While Quentin Tarantino’s critics have often questioned the use of racist language in his films, usually uttered by white characters against black people, this is often dismissed as artistic expression without racist overtones.

However, in a 2003 interview with Howard Stern, Tarantino sparked backlash by defending film producer Roman Polanski after allegations that Polanski raped a 13-year-old girl became public. Tarantino then said: “He did not rape a 13-year-old girl. It was rape of a minor… He had sex with a minor. That’s not rape. To me, when you use the word rape, you’re talking about violence, belittling things – it’s One of the most violent crimes in the world. You can’t use the word rape. It’s like using the word ‘racist’ and it doesn’t apply to everything people use it for.”
