Hannah Einbinder and Susan Sarandon were among those detained on Sept. 24 in New York City for protesting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was set to speak at the U.N. General Assembly. Pictures of the actors being led away from protests in cuffs went viral on social media before Netanyahu began speaking, such as the X post below from the account Land Palestine.
