The demonstration targeted Netanyahu and israel\u2019s policies,with protesters blocking traffic and making arrests. Participants shouted slogans such as \u201cStop the genocide, free, free Palestine,\u201d and Sarandon was afterward arrested, adding to her history of activism. sarandon, a vocal critic of Israel\u2019s government, has faced professional repercussions for her political stance, claiming that agencies have advised against hiring her. Manning also took part in protests criticizing U.S. arms sales to Israel, with arrests occurring outside Senate offices earlier in the year. The protests coincided with intense international scrutiny of Israel&#8217;s conduct in Gaza and the West Bank, amid Netanyahu\u2019s UN speech. Additionally, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani had previously considered arresting Netanyahu for war crimes, though he acknowledged he lacked legal authority.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Actor <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/4709941\/elliot-page-tricky-land-roles-odyssey\/\">Elliot Page<\/a>, actress Susan Sarandon, and former U.S. Army intelligence analyst <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/chelsea-manning\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"3645\">Chelsea Manning<\/a> were among the demonstrators blocking a road outside the United Nations in New York on Thursday as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepared to address the General Assembly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hundreds of protesters gathered in Midtown Manhattan to demonstrate against Netanyahu and Israel\u2019s policies as the prime minister arrived in New York.
