Oscar-winning actor Susan Sarandon and Scream star Melissa Barrera were each dropped by Hollywood companies after making comments on the Israel-Hamas war that some deemed antisemitic.

Spyglass Media Group, the production company behind the upcoming Scream VII, acknowledged Barrera's exit from the horror franchise. The Mexican-born actress, who starred in In the Heights and the two recent Scream instalments, had posted statements on her Instagram stories calling the war "genocide and ethnic cleansing." "Gaza," she wrote, "is currently being treated like a concentration camp."

It's nice to see these smug celebs getting their just deserts... The sad part... Guess who'll they'll blame for their misfortune? That's right... They'll blame the Jews.

These two are fine examples of that 'woke' crowd trope that 'everybody is racist'... They obviously wear their racism on their sleeves... Good for them and good for us... It's always good to know who all the true racist are in society.

How old is Susan Sarandon? Isn’t she kind of finished anyway?

Rich and famous does not necessarily (I would say rarely) equates to informed and intelligent

These are two fine examples of that, but you are right in 3,2,1

Jews control Hollywood…….

Sarandon is definitely a medalist in the Hollywood stupid Olympics, but I think meathead still holds the gold

Yup. She hasn’t had a decent gig in years.

This was an easy way for Deep State to send a message.

It’s not about Israel, BTW.

The message being sent is about who’s in charge.

Talent? If bra size is the qualifier, then Jane Mansfield could have been doing Shakespeare?

Well anyway, Suzie's IQ squared would not make minus zero.

What Saradon said was so spiteful. Every time time a Muslim commits an atrocity, the left runs up the Islamophobia shield to avert retribution. Then the Muslims taunt their victims. Despicable.

The people in Hollywood act like children that have never been told “no” or disciplined.

They think they can do or say anything and not only not be punished but rewarded for being so “woke”.

Happy to see there are some limits.

When you cheer the slaughter of Jews, you won’t please the power structure in Hollywood.

This is absolutely ripping the Leftists apart. I love it.
