Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza.

The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel.

Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

Hearing from a friend in Israel that Netanyahu did this speech to boost his chances in the upcoming election but national media is full of pictures of him speaking to an empty hall after almost everyone walked out.

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 1d

Netanyahu directly attacks Zohran Mamdani (and his wife) from the UNGA podium, calling him the "antisemitic mayor of New York City," parroting The Free Press's stories about Rama Duwaji, tying Mamdani to Hasan Piker, and claiming the mayor is "buddies" with Hamas.

In 2026, protesting a genocide gets you arrested but committing one gets you a podium at the UN General Assembly, where you can boast about your exploding pager operation that killed 30+ people (incl. medical workers and children) and injured nearly 3000 people. #StopTheGenocide #FreePalestine

Actor Susan Sarandon arrested for protesting Israel's genocide.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu holds a pager as he boasts about Israel's exploding pager operation that injured 3000.
