Hollywood Stars, Others Arrested In NY Anti-Netanyahu Protest
Several hundred demonstrators and celebrities were detained after blocking traffic and chanting against Netanyahu and the war in Gaza, police said.
- On Thursday, the NYPD arrested Hacks actress Hannah Einbinder and Thelma & Louise star Susan Sarandon during a protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu near the United Nations General Assembly.
- Organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, the demonstration began at 12 p.m. as participants sat in the intersection of First Avenue and 39th Street, blocking traffic for over an hour.
- Protesters, including comedian Caleb Hearon wearing a "People Not Bombs" t-shirt, chanted "Arrest Netanyahu" while holding banners reading "Stop Arming Israel" and "End the Genocide." Other celebrities like Elliot Page risked arrest.
- Inside the General Assembly, dozens of envoys walked out as Netanyahu began his speech, in which he assailed allies including Britain and France, who have recently moved to recognize the state of Palestine.
- Sarandon, who told journalists at the Venice Film Festival this month that she has had "movies taken away" due to her outspoken views, remains a prominent figure in Gaza protests.
