At an event held in solidarity with detained student and pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil in New York on Saturday, American actress Susan Sarandon gave a speech in solidarity with Gaza.
In it, Sarandon criticised those who sought to separate themselves from the Palestinian cause, arguing the war in Gaza is closely tied to America’s own political developments under Donald Trump’s administration, particularly the threats to university students involved in pro-Palestine activism.
The solidarity event was attended by high-profile figures such as Alana Hadid and the American rapper Macklemore.
