Susan Sarandon Shares Apology, Says Comments At Pro-Palestinian Rally Were A “Terrible Mistake”
Deadline ^ | December 1, 2023 | Zack Ntim

Outspoken actress Susan Sarandon has shared a lengthy apology for her recent controversial comments in response to the Israel—Hamas conflict at a pro-Palestinian rally last month.

The Academy Award-winning actress, who shared the apology on her Instagram account, began the statement: “Recently, I attended a rally alongside a diverse group of activists seeking to highlight the urgent humanitarian crisis in Gaza and call for a ceasefire. I had not planned to speak but was invited to take the stage and say a few words.”

The statement continued: “Intending to communicate my concern for an increase in hate crimes, I said that Jewish Americans, as the targets of rising antisemitic hate, ‘are getting a taste of what it is like to be Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence,’” Sarandon continued. “This phrasing was a terrible mistake, as it implies that until recently Jews have been strangers to persecution, when the opposite is true. As we all know, from centuries of oppression and genocide in Europe to the Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh, PA, Jews have long been familiar with discrimination and religious violence which continues to this day.”

Sarandon concluded her remarks by saying she will continue her commitment to “peace, truth, justice, and compassion for all people.”

“I hope that we can meet with love and willingness to engage in dialogue, especially with those with whom we disagree,” the statement ended.

Sarandon had attended a November 17 pro-Palestinian rally in New York City where she drew widespread criticism for a public speech where she said: “There are a lot of people afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country.”

The actress was also dropped by her agency, United Talent Agency.

I deeply regret diminishing this reality and hurting people with this comment. It was my intent to show solidarity to the struggle against bigotry of all kinds, and I am sorry I failed to do so.

It's not like she's ever going to get work again.

Yep.

Her mouth wrote a big fat check she can’t afford to cash now.

Too bad, so sad.

“I am very sorry to have had my innermost hatred of Jews exposed so publicly. As a has-been actress with saggy tits and an ass in a basket, and no recent appearances of consequence, I did not expect anyone to be following my actions. The week before I performed fellatio on a homeless man with a cart foll of recycling on a city street and no one even noticed. In any event, I’ll continue to pretend that Hollywood is not controlled by the Jews and their Zionist Bankers.”

This Jew hater is only sorry because of the backlash and being dropped by her agent

Her and her elite Hollywood fornicators need to be put in their places.

They’re only sorry when it adversely effects them, otherwise they they think not of the effects of their words or actions, be it the present or the past. I’ve dated several women like this.

She obviously has never read a true translation of the Holy Koran.

It might change her insane point of view.

>Every non Muslim should read a true copy to understand what we are facing.

Don't bother with any printed translation since the 1950s or so. They have been altered to make Islam look like a "religion of peace".

IMHO, the best translation is for free here:

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/16955

This is a link to a free book on Gutenberg.org, three translations by 3 Imams of the Holy Quran side by side.

And there you have it .. the real reason for her “conversion”.

that bras got more push up than boot camp.
I suspect her breasts are now a dedicated part of her waistline.

A mistake is when you misdial a phone number, not when you say “Eliminate the Jews”.

Not buyin’ it, Susan.

You are equating Israel/Jews with Muslim/Islam, the people who not only advocate DEATH AND DISTRUCTION BUT EMBRACE IT, LIVE WITH IT 24/7, LOVE IT, CANNOT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE...

The Arabs of long ago, contributed something to civilization,
not today’s Arabs...all they know, all they think about is how to maim, kill and live happily ever after.

IN SHORT, THEY ARE A WEIRD BUNCH.
