Susan Sarandon issued an apology on Instagram late Friday for comments she made about Jewish people on Nov. 17 at a cease-fire rally. Sarandon said that she “deeply” regrets “hurting people” and will “continue my commitment to peace, truth, justice, and compassion for all people.”
The actress was at the New York rally in mid-November when she was invited to speak to the crowd. Sarandon, who has been outspoken about her pro-Palestinian stance on social media, said that “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.”
