Yeah, that's the side that I'm on, too... I honestly think that he's just an incredibly, INCREDIBLY awkward little man who made one joke, tried to dig himself out of it, and then kept digging deeper. I don't think that there was any malice behind it; it just sounds like a truly awkward moment that he couldn't talk himself out of...
Plus, it seems as though half of Cannes hates him - Being completely booed at Antichrist and half booed with his new film... I think that they are biased...
The only place where I can see the other side of the argument is that they're making a Zero Tolerance statement - Essentially saying that any antisemitic comments are inappropriate - Generally the argument is "oh, it's a slippery slope," but that's the other side I suppose.
I just think the guy is ridiculously awkward, not ridiculously antisemitic.
