Susan Sarandon found herself in hot water recently after making controversial comments about Jewish people, leading to her being fired by her Hollywood agency. During a pro-Palestinian protest in New York City, the Oscar-winning actress claimed that Jews were “getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim.” As a conservative, it’s heartbreaking to see individuals like Sarandon spreading such divisive and misguided rhetoric.

It comes as no surprise that Sarandon faced immediate backlash for her remarks, with staff members at her talent agency expressing outrage. The agency quickly took action and dropped her as a client, sending a clear message that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated. This should serve as a reminder to all celebrities that their words have consequences.
In addition to the agency’s response, Sarandon found herself being criticized online by various individuals. Aviva Klompas, a former director of speech writing at the Israeli Mission to the United Nations, accused Sarandon of justifying violence against Jews. These accusations are deeply concerning and should not be taken lightly.
Even conservative Muslim author Asra Nomani called out Sarandon, reminding her of the privileges and freedoms she enjoys in the United States compared to the Muslim world. Nomani’s words serve as a reality check for Sarandon, who seems to be disconnected from the harsh realities faced by many individuals living under oppressive regimes.
It is disheartening to witness these comments from Sarandon, particularly considering her influence and platform. As a conservative, it is vital to stand against any form of bigotry, no matter who it comes from. The United States has always been a beacon of freedom, and it is our duty to protect and preserve that freedom. Sarandon should learn from this experience and think more carefully about the impact of her words in the future.
