#of course free Palestine and she shouldn't have been fired for being pro-Palestine but to pretend like she didn't say anything problematic?

you guys, in fairness, Susan Sarandon did say that Jewish people being afraid was us "getting a taste of what it feels like to be Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence" and while she's 100000% correct that Muslims in the US are and have been subjected to horrific violence, what people are rightfully pissed about is the implication that antisemitism in the US isn't violent. I don't think she should've been fired from UTA but she should definitely have to apologize for that.

#Susan Sarandon #after tree of life? after synagogues have been shutting down frequently for the last 5-10 years bc of bomb threats? #after the synagogue shooting in Texas a few winters ago? #after the rabbi was murdered in Detroit? after a little yeshiva boy was murdered in Denver a few years ago? #she looked at all of that and said #antisemitism wasn't violent before now #like. that's a problematic statement. #of course free Palestine and she shouldn't have been fired for being pro-Palestine but to pretend like she didn't say anything problematic? #antisemitism #Zionism #palestine #Israel #islamophobia
