Yes, she did. But what has she learnt?
Movie star Susan Sarandon claims she was blacklisted in Hollywood after she said, at a pro-Paleostinian rally in November of last year, that US Jews fearing for their safety, given a spike in antisemitism, "are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Moslem in this country."The Hollywood talent agency UTA cut ties with the Oscar-winning actress as a client a few days after a clip from the rally went viral, despite her issuing an apology.
"I was dropped by my agency, my projects were pulled," Sarandon told the UK’s Sunday Times in an interview for a profile article that was published on Sunday. "I’ve been used as an example of what not to do if you want to continue to work."
"There are so many people out of work right now [since] November of last year ... who have lost their jobs as custodians, as writers, as painters, as people working in the cafeteria, substitute teachers who have been fired because they tweeted something, or liked a tweet, or asked for a ceasefire," she told the British newspaper.
Sarandon said that she had made a "terrible mistake," and that her comments at the rally implied that "until recently Jews have been strangers to persecution, when the opposite is true."
Implied is not the word I would have chosen, but do go on, my dear.
The actress has been intensely critical of Israel throughout the war …fashionably critical, in fact…

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

At a rally earlier in November, she told attendees that it was important to examine the events of October 7 in the context of Israel’s history, which some saw as blaming Israelis for the atrocities committed by Hamas.
"So many people don’t understand the context in which this October 7 assault happened," she said, "They don’t understand the history of what has been happening to the Paleostinian people for 75 years. So this is an opportunity to educate people if they can have an open mind."
If only her mind had been open so she could have been educated before her mouth spew such fashionable poison, but the precious darling isn’t smart enough for that kind of self-awareness.
As the war has unfolded, she continued to share accusations of genocide and war crimes by Israel, has shared misinformation denying elements of the massacre, and praised Hamas as a "resistance group."It sounds like she was much too busy displaying fashionable opinions to work anyway
