Susan Sarandon among celebs, lefty pols cuffed near UN while calling for Netanyahu’s arrest during protest
NY Post ^ | 09/24/2026 | Steven Vago and Ronny Reyes

Hundreds of protesters — including prominent lefty actors and local politicians — gathered near the United Nations Thursday to call for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s arrest.

But dozens of the demonstrators found themselves in cuffs instead as NYPD cops worked to clear First Avenue ahead of Netanyahu’s speech to the UN General Assembly, law enforcement sources said.

Among those taken into custody was Democratic Socialists of America member and Zohran Mamdani-backed House hopeful Darializa Avila-Chevalier, who smiled and chanted, “Free Palestine” as she was loaded onto an NYPD bus.

Oscar winner Susan Sarandon and fellow anti-Israel actresses Cynthia Nixon and Hannah Einbinder of HBO’s “Hacks,” were also among those arrested ahead of Netanyahu’s speech.

The protest began at around noon, with socialist groups joining Jewish Voice For Peace to block traffic near the UN to call out Netanyahu’s war in Gaza and the ongoing conflict in Iran.

The Israeli prime minister has been accused of conducting crimes against humanity in Gaza following Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack, with the International Criminal Court issuing a warrant for his arrest.

The US, however, does not recognize the ICC’s authority, with Netanyahu joining world leaders to speak before the UN General Assembly.

Among those in the crowd who were chanting, “Stop arming Israel!” and “Let Iran live” were progressive City Council members Tiffany Caban, Chi Ossé, Sandy Nurse and Shahana Hanif.

Also in attendance was embattled NYC-DSA boss Gustavo Gordillo and New York State Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher, a democratic socialist, too.

Drop them off in them middle of Gaza unveiled. Then see if they are able to survive escaping to the only safe country in the region, Israel.

Pretty much. Or as usual, when it comes to Islam, the "feminists" side with the rapists against the rape victims and the ones protecting women.

I used to think she was almost hot.

In the 1970 movie "Joe" (played by Peter Boyle) she was, sorta, but that was many moons ago.

why are protesters so ugly? They’re ugly in and out. Can’t even put on decent rags.
Why aren’t the cops wearing gloves? they need all the protection they can get.

For 40 years we have been expecting that Israel
and the Jews will be hated even more so in the
Last Days.

In the wake of the horrific October 7, 2023
attack and the missile attacks by Iran, much
of the world is focused on hating Israel.
