Comedian Jerry Seinfeld mocked a pro-Palestinian protester over the weekend who disrupted another one of his comedy shows in Australia, saying that they just gave more money to a Jew in order to insult him.
The incident happened as Seinfeld was performing in Melbourne at the Rod Laver Arena on Saturday night when the group interrupted and claimed that he supported “genocide.”
“Oh, you’re back. They’re back! The protesters are back! I’ve missed you!” Seinfeld responded as the crowd began to boo the protesters. “Oh, you’re not doing well. It’s so hard for you. Yes, listen, dude, listen, let me explain something, you and I are in the same business.”
“We’re in the same business. Our business is to get people to see things the way we see,” he continued. “The problem is you’re in the wrong place. … You hear how well I’m doing? This is what you want. You want to do well, like I am, looking at the people here to hear me, look at what happened to you.”
He said that if he went to a sporting event and tried to do his comedy routine that he would be booed just like the protesters were getting booed at the comedy event.
“I think you need to go back and tell who’s ever running your organization, “We just gave more money to a Jew,'” Seinfeld later added. “That cannot be a good plan for you. That’s not what you want! That’s the whole problem! You got to come up with a better plan.”

Seinfeld had a similar run in with anti-Semitic protesters earlier this month when he was performing at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.
“We have a genius ladies and gentlemen. He’s solved the Middle East. He’s solved it!” Seinfeld mocked. “It’s the Jewish comedians, that’s who we have to get.”
The crowd cheered as Seinfeld mocked the heckler, who chanted the genocidal anti-Semitic slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as they were escorted out of the venue.
“Go ahead, keep going,” he taunted the heckler. “They’re going to start punching you in about three seconds, so I would try and get all of your genius out so we can all learn from you.”
“It’s a comedy show, you moron!” Seinfeld added. “Get out of here.”
