While mid-term elections weighed heavily on everyone's minds, Jason Blum was booed off the scenes at the Israel Film Festival, where he was honored for making anti-Trump remarks during his speech.

Blum was booed early on when he referred to the election results that were taking place at the same time as the event.

"Many things are at stake, the last two years have been difficult for all of us, who cherish freedom as citizens of this country," said Blum.

"The great thing about this country is that you can love Trump, but I do not have to, and I can tell you how I feel about it – and I do not like it. " He continued. A few people then started going out of the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills.

Rumors and howls continued to increase as Blum, who received the Achievement in Film & Television Award, was trying to talk about it.

"As you can see in this auditorium, it's the end of the civil discourse," continued Blum. "We have a president who calls the press the enemy of the people. Thanks to our president, anti-Semitism is on the rise. "

A man, identified as Yossi Dina, an Israeli pawnbroker appeared on "Beverly Hills Pawn," went on stage and tried to get Blum out of the scene, while the crowd applauded and applauded.

A woman called security on the scene above the PA system, and the man backed up.

"Enjoy the movie, and I love you and I respect you all," said Blum. "Now I am physically kidnapped, that's why Trump is not the good guy."

Blum tweeted about the episode, writing that the night "is somehow ruined". He also retweeted several messages of support, adding, "This was not what I expected."
