Arrr, word be spreadin' that Park City's Main Street was plundered by a mighty crew o' pro-Palestinian scallywags durin' the grand Sundance Film Festival on a fine Sunday. Savvy?
Nearly 100 pro-Palestinian protesters took to the streets of Park City, Utah, during the annual Sundance Film Festival. They chanted the controversial slogan "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" as they marched through the snowy streets. Among the protesters was actress Melissa Barrera, who has been vocal in her support of the Palestinian people. The protesters criticized the Biden administration's support of Israel in the aftermath of a Hamas terrorist attack against Israel. Barrera herself has faced backlash for her pro-Palestinian views, leading to her being dropped from the film "Scream VII" by Spyglass Media. However, she has denied posting anything antisemitic and has condemned hate and prejudice against any group of people. At the protest, Barrera declined to give interviews but allowed video footage to be taken. The protesters also displayed signs calling President Biden a "butcher" and accusing him of genocide. Passersby showed support by yelling "Bring them home" in reference to Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. Some counter protesters waved Israeli flags. The protest drew attention from both the media and increased police surveillance.
