Jerry Seinfeld’s sharp reply to pro-Palestinian activist goes viral

Jerry Seinfeld was filmed in a brief confrontation outside a basketball game between the New York Knicks and San Antonio after content creator finessefave approached him and asked him to say “Free Palestine.” The Jewish-American actor and comedian responded with a laugh and said, “It does not exist.”

The video spread quickly across social media and drew many reactions. The clip circulated amid Seinfeld’s public stance since the start of the war in Gaza, which the article refers to as the “Iron Swords” war.

During the war, Seinfeld has publicly supported Israel and has clashed several times with pro-Palestinian activists who approached him at events and performances he attended. In one widely discussed incident at a show, he mocked protesters who disrupted the performance and said they had simply paid money to watch a Jewish performer.

At that event, he told them, “You have to go back to the organization that sent you and tell them that in the end you just paid more money to a Jew to get into his show. That cannot be a good plan for you. You need to ask the organization to come up with another plan for you,” drawing laughter from the audience.
