A pair of actresses get blowback on their remarks re: Israeli Hamas war, now sorry

Anti-Semitic actresses Susan Sarandon and Julianna Margulies both issued statements apologizing for their public anti-Semitic sentiments with the Israel-Hamas War as their backdrop.

"There are a lot of people that are afraid, that are afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence," Sarandon said at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in New York City in November.

She made it sound as if Jews were attacking Muslims in the U.S. like Muslims attacked Israeli Jews on October 7. Of course that's nonsense and shows her true anti-Semitic hatred. She was dropped as a client from her talent agency UTA in response to her empty-headed, fact-less speech.

Her anemic apology didn't make her appear any less a Jew-hating elitist:

"This phrasing was a terrible mistake, as it implies that until recently Jews have been strangers to persecution, when the opposite is true. As we all know, from centuries of oppression and genocide in Europe, to the Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh, PA, Jews have long been familiar with discrimination and religious violence which continues to this day. I deeply regret diminishing this reality and hurting people with this comment," Sarandon felt obligated to write on Instagram Friday.

"I will continue my commitment to peace, truth, justice, and compassion for all people. I hope that we can meet with love and willingness to engage in dialogue, especially with those with whom we disagree."

Her commitment to peace? Not with those words she ain't. 

Her commitment to truth? She sounds like a George Santos fan. 

Justice? The massacre of 1,200 Israelis on Oct 7 was never mentioned and if justice is called for, you'd think this washed-up actress would have called for it. 

Compassion? Her words are an oxymoron to compassion. She thumbs her nose at Jews and uses fake moral equivalence to make her case.

Meanwhile, Morning Show actress Julianna Margulies, a Jew, made a remark that is true which she had to apologize for because you can never say certain things about the Muslim community or other make-believe victim-class people.

In a recent episode of The Back Room with Andy Ostroy podcast, Margulies questioned why many people in the black and LGBTQIA+ communities are supporting Palestine and not Israel in the ongoing conflict because, she correctly said, Jews are more tolerant of marginalized communities than Muslims are. [Consider how Israel has open LGBTQIA+ and Israelis of color while Islamic countries tend to throw gays off of high places.]

"I wanna say to them: 'You [expletive] idiots. You don't exist. You're even lower than the Jews. A. You're Black, and B. You're gay and you're turning your back against the people who support you?' Because Jews, they rally around everybody," she said on the podcast.

Perhaps she went too far in how she described how she felt in the comparison, but she isn't really wrong.

"The fact that the entire Black community isn't standing with us to me says either they just don't know, or they've been brainwashed to hate Jews."

In her apology statement, Margulies said she was "horrified" to have offended the Black and LGBTQIA+ communities, which she said are people "I truly love and respect."

"I want to be 100% clear: Racism, homophobia, sexism, or any prejudice against anyone's personal beliefs or identity are abhorrent to me, full stop," she said, but didn't mean anti-white racism, or sexism against straight white men. Just the right folks who are fake victims.
