Hollywood Stars Susan Sarandon, Cynthia Nixon Arrested at NYC Protest Against Israel
Hollywood actresses Susan Sarandon and Cynthia Nixon were arrested during a large protest in New York City on Thursday, coinciding with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the United Nations. The demonstration, held against the backdrop of Netanyahu's UN address, saw participants calling for an end to American funding for Israel.
Sarandon and Nixon, known for their roles in "Sex and the City," were among the prominent figures participating in the rally. Other attendees included actress Hannah Einbinder, who has been critical of Israel, and "Saturday Night Live" star Sarah Sherman.
Protesters chanted slogans such as "Netanyahu, you can't hide, you're wanted for genocide" and demanded a halt to U.S. financial support for Israel. Sarandon was seen wearing a shirt that read "Money for people, not for bombs."
