Susan Sarandon made disgusting comments at a rally in New York City, sparking intense backlash.
She addressed the crowd, asserting that “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.”
Reports from the New York Post indicate that Sarandon also participated in chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” an anti-Semitic slogan that implies the decimation of Israel.

According to Fox News, Sarandon has been dropped by UTA, a significant Hollywood agency, after her recent comments. A spokesperson from UTA confirmed to Fox News Digital that they no longer represent Sarandon.
Author Asra Nomani, who comes from a Muslim background, criticized Sarandon on X for her controversial perspective.
Let me give you “a taste” of what it “feels like” to be a Muslim in America:
My dad didn’t have to become a second-class indentured servant to one of the many tyrants of Muslim countries that use immigrants from India, like my family, as essential slaves. In 1975, after getting his PhD at Rutgers, he was about to go to Libya — a Muslim country — led by a Muslim, Moammar Qhadafi, to work like a servant with a PhD for a wealthy dictator…but then the phone rang one day and I picked it up…
My mom? Being Muslim in America meant she got to live FREE with the wind in her hair, like @AlinejadMasih fights for women in the Muslim nation of Iran to be able to enjoy.
In another “taste” of being Muslim in America? My family got a pathway to citizenship. You think the Muslim dictatorship of Qatar allows a pathway to citizenship for Muslim slaves, servants or Palestinian Muslims? Hell no. The Muslim Al-Thani family just buys citizenship for Muslim soccer stars from countries in Africa to steal World Cup wins. But otherwise it treats non-Qatari Muslims like slaves. America? My family waited, took the test, studied the constitution and we are citizens — hallelujah!
This is a “taste” of life for a Muslim family in America. Please don’t minimize the experience of Jewish Americans by sanitizing the hell that it is for Muslims living in Muslim countries and vilifying America for the life — and freedoms — she offers Muslims like my family.
Go, live like a Muslim woman in a Muslim country. You will come back to America and kiss the land beneath your feet.
Hi there @SusanSarandon, this is my mom, my dad and me on the rail trail in Morgantown, West by God Virginia. Let me tell you what it means to be Muslim in America.
