Hollywood Stars Susan Sarandon, Cynthia Nixon Arrested at NYC Protest Against Israel
Actresses Susan Sarandon and Cynthia Nixon were arrested during a large protest in New York City on Thursday evening, coinciding with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the United Nations. The demonstration, held against Israel, saw participants calling for an end to American funding for the country. Protesters chanted slogans such as "Netanyahu you can't hide, you are wanted for genocide."
Sarandon was detained while wearing a shirt that read, "Fund people, not bombs." Nixon, known for her role in "Sex and the City," was also among those arrested. Other notable figures present included actress Hannah Einbinder, who has been critical of Israel, and "Saturday Night Live" star Sarah Sherman.
The protest occurred as Netanyahu addressed the UN General Assembly. The demonstrators' demands included halting U.S. financial support for Israel, reflecting broader international discourse surrounding the conflict.
