Susan Sarandon's Apology for Controversial Comments at Pro-Palestine Rally

Actress Susan Sarandon has apologized for her comments at a pro-Palestinian rally last month, where she suggested that Jewish Americans were experiencing what it feels like to be a Muslim in the country. Her talent agency dropped her following the remarks. Sarandon expressed regret for diminishing the history of antisemitism and hurting people with her comment, stating that her intention was to show solidarity against bigotry. The incident comes amidst a larger controversy involving actress Melissa Barrera being fired from Scream VII over perceived antisemitic Instagram posts, and a letter signed by 1,300 actors and artists accusing cultural institutions of censoring those speaking out for Palestine.
