Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon was fired from Hollywood talent agency United Talent Agency for attending a pro-Palestinian rally in New York during which she made comments deemed anti-Semitic.

"There are a lot of people who are afraid to be Jewish right now and are enjoying what it's like to be Muslim in this country," said Susan Sarandon, who invited speakers in support of Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas.
"People are asking questions, people are standing up, people are educating themselves, people are breaking away from the brainwashing that started when they were children," added the Oscar-winning actress for "Dead Man Walking."
