Susan Sarandon: On the Record

Actress Susan Sarandon was dropped by her talent agency after remarks at a pro-Palestinian rally.

On the record

• November 2023 — Dropped by her talent agency (UTA) after speaking at a pro-Palestinian rally, where she said people “afraid of being Jewish at this time” are “getting a taste of what it feels like to be Muslim in this country.” [The Forward]

The context

She later apologized for that remark, calling it “a terrible mistake.” We include that in full.

Where Galil stands

Our opinion: Telling frightened Jews they’re finally getting “a taste” of someone else’s suffering is its own kind of answer. She apologized; we don’t stand with the words.
