What happened

Susan Sarandon among celebs, lefty pols cuffed near UN while calling for Netanyahu’s arrest during protest See more of our coverage in your search results.

Why it matters

Hundreds of protesters, including prominent lefty actors and local politicians, swarmed the United Nations Thursday to call for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s arrest — and many found themselves in cuffs instead.

Common ground

An estimated 104 demonstrators were busted as NYPD cops worked to clear First Avenue ahead of Netanyahu’s speech to the UN General Assembly, law enforcement sources and organizers said.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Name Calling / Labeling, Appeal to Fear: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
