Hollywood stars among 100 arrested in NY anti-Netanyahu protest
Officers responded to reports of an 'unscheduled demonstration' where people were blocking an intersection.
Hollywood actresses Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder were among 100 people arrested in New York on Thursday while attempting to break up a protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to police and Jewish Voice for Peace. NYPD officers reported responding to reports of an unscheduled demonstration where protesters were blocking an intersection, with some refusing to leave despite warnings from police.
The protest, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, called for an end to US military funding to Israel and accused Israel of genocide and colonialism. Inside the UN General Assembly, dozens of envoys walked out as Netanyahu began his speech, facing both support and opposition from world leaders.
