Michael Moore penned a lengthy response to a reader who offered a vulgar and succinct critique of the filmmaker’s criticism of Israel and the “pro-Netanyahu crowd.”

“Fuck you,” a reader named Aron sent to Moore.

“Most of the mail I get from Jewish Americans is filled with much sadness and is supportive of what I’m writing. A few are not. One of the most frequent angry letters I get is like this one from last night, and they are often as brief,” the Fahrenheit 9/11 director wrote before including a screenshot of Aron’s message.

The blowback was from a Christmas Day post to Substack in which Moore accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his most loyal supporters of having a “lust for blood,” noting the thousands of civilian deaths inside of Gaza caused by the Israel-Hamas war and Israel’s massive strikes on the land.

Moore penned a lengthy letter addressed to Aron and posted it to his Substack.

The filmmaker wrote:

Because you’re smart and you know the truth, one day you will write to me and say you are sorry for sending me this on Christmas. But you don’t have to. You wrote me this note because you were upset. You were assured by many people throughout the years that Israel would always be there as a place of refuge and safety for you. And that we non-Jews would always be there to protect you, protect Israel and ensure that never again would there be another Holocaust perpetrated upon the Jewish people of this planet.

Moore went on to accuse Netanyahu of being Israel’s greatest threat.

In his original post, Moore rhetorically asked if “100,000 more” deaths would quench the “thirst for revenge” following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, which led to more than 1,000 deaths and hundreds of kidnappings.

He wrote in his follow-up post to Aron (emphasis Moore’s):

The whole thing is sick. It’s utter madness! Aron, you will reluctantly realize this some day. That the Israel that was supposed to last forever came to be something else, not at the hands of terrorists or its sworn enemies, but rather at the hands of its own leader and his cabal of fascists, right-wingers, ethnic cleansers, religious fanatics and their American Christian nationalist allies — the Original Masters of Genocide: The U.S. military-industrial complex.

Moore told the reader he would be an “ally and friend” when he gets “this all figured out.”
