As reported by the American portal, actress Hunter Schafer was arrested during Monday’s demonstration calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The 25-year-old is known for her role as Jules in the TV series “Euphoria” and Tigris in the movie “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Birds and Snakes”.
A famous actress wanted to protest against the war. She was arrested
The activist organization Jewish Voice for Peace was behind the organization of the rally, and it confirmed on Tuesday that Schafer was among those arrested. The demonstration took place in front of 30 Rockefeller Center, where President Joe Biden was scheduled to appear on “Late Night With Seth Meyers.”
Hunter was arrested during the protest. We applaud her commitment to Palestinian freedom and a future of justice for all, said a spokesman for Jewish Voice for Peace.
Additionally, a spokesperson for the New York Police Department confirmed that a total of 33 arrests were made during the protest at 30 Rockefeller Center. However, completely different data is provided by the organization, which in a post on Instagram reports that 50 New Yorkers of Jewish origin have been arrested.
The popular actress can be seen in many recordings published online. In one of them, Schafer and the rest of the group chant the slogan: “No more guns, no more war, ceasefires are worth fighting for.” The star is also visible in many photos shared by the rally organizer.
The aim of the protest was to call on President Biden to “stop supporting the genocide committed by the Israeli government against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.” In the program, the head of state admitted that a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas could be reached within a week. However, Hamas has a different opinion and does not want to release the Israeli hostages.
Jewish Voice for Peace describes itself as “the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world” and its goal is to “organize a grassroots, multiracial, interclass and intergenerational movement of American Jews in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for freedom.”
