Susan Sarandon dropped by talent agency after remarks at pro-Palestine rally [Nov 21 2023 | Adrian Horton | The Guardian] https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/nov/21/susan-sarandon-pro-palestinian-remarks-uta-dropped

I do find this thing she said dogy...

“There are a lot of people afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country.”

I don't think Jewish people need reminding of the west's antisemitism - the west literally invented it and, despite all pretences to the contrary, has merely tried to hide it from view as opposed to actually dismantling it.

But apart from that her words are perfectly reasonable.

Not a single name I recognize in that list.

Oh look; McCarthy blacklists!

Something that is offensive is not necessarily antisemitic. Anti semitism is offensive, but all offensive things are not anti semitic. Do you see how conflating the two is making you fail to understand and be confused?

A shame Sarandon wasn't given the same treatment years ago when she claimed chemical weapons attacks in Syria had been faked & presented Assad as the victim of Western regime change policies, rather than the 21st Century's most notorious war criminal.

Just now hearing about this.

So she basically said antisemitism is okay because Islamophobia exists. Like, "well, if we can't stop racism, let's at least be racist against everyone." Maybe the worst take in the past 2 months of incredibly bad takes.

This is coming from a white, cisgender person who is neither Jewish nor Muslim, and is worth $60 million ($10 million she made since the start of the pandemic)
