Susan Sarandon detained during protest outside the U.N.

cultureSep 24, 2026312,895

Actresses Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder were detained by NYPD on September 24 during a protest near the United Nations in New York City ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s U.N. General Assembly address. The demonstration, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace Action, drew hundreds who blocked traffic on First Avenue and chanted outside the U.N. calling for an end to U.S. military support for Israel amid the war in Gaza; many protesters wore shirts reading "Fund people not bombs." Organizers estimated roughly 100 people were taken into custody; the NYPD had not confirmed a final arrest count or any charges. Cynthia Nixon and comedian Caleb Hearon were also reported among those detained, and Reuters photographed Sarandon being led away. Einbinder told The Guardian, "We will not be silent as our government fully funds a genocide in Palestine," adding she joined the protest "as a Jew, as an American, and as a human being." The article notes Sarandon has been outspoken about the war and said earlier this month that her advocacy has continued to cost her acting roles in Hollywood.

So proud to see people who will be going to Congress protesting this war criminal. Adam's interview I saw was so powerful. We have to get more politicians into office that don't protect war criminals and support genocide.

I don’t know if he has US citizenship but Elliot Page is Canadian-born so he may also be risking deportation.

The majority of the UN walked out on Netanyahu in protest for the ongoing genocide Israel is committing against Palestine in Gaza and the West Bank. The US, Ethiopia, and Nigeria among a very few that loudly cheered trying to hype the criminal.

He requested that 'moral cowards that haven't left yet, please do so now.' Fucker, the people who left/walked out on you are moral HEROES!

The majority of the world knows that Netanyahu Is a war criminal desperately clinging to power to stay out of prison.

Torsten Lütten9

I nominate "moral cowards" as the attempted insult of the year (ATINOTY) 2026. It's just the poisoned icing on that cake of hate a war criminal from Israel brought to the UN. Disgusting.

@manucleardevice.bsky.social

The NYPD under Mamdani escorted Netanyahu to the UN and is having protestors arrested (including Hannah Einbinder and Susan Sarandon) and he’s still going after him. You have to laugh at this point, no meaningful antizionism anywhere in power.
