Comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jerry-seinfeld">Jerry Seinfeld</a> was seen smiling and waving to a group of anti-Israel protestors who had gathered outside an event he was attending at the 92nd Street Y in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-city">Manhattan</a>.
“Genocide supporter, you support genocide,” protesters can be heard screaming at the 69-year-old celebrity, who is Jewish. Seinfeld, who was flanked by NYPD officers, responded to the hecklers by giving a quick wave and climbing into the back seat of a black SUV.
The protestors continued yelling and cursing at the comedian as the SUV drove away, per the video footage.
Seinfeld had been at an event featuring former New York Times columnist Bari Weiss, who is the founder of the Free Press. Weiss was there delivering the annual “State of the World Jewry” address, <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/02/26/us-news/anti-israel-protesters-berate-jerry-seinfeld-as-he-leaves-nyc-event-video/">per</a> The New York Post. Protestors gathered to show their condemnation of Weis criticizing a Palestinian writer, Refaat Alareer, who they claim was killed during Israeli airstrikes. Before his death, Alareer <a href="https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-788943">wrote on X</a> that if he died, the blame was on “Baris Weiss and her likes.”
Seinfeld has been a vocal supporter of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/israel">Israel</a>, arriving for a visit in December as a show of solidarity with the country following the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas.
“Seinfeld told the families that he feels a deep commitment to raising awareness around the world about the issue of the hostages,” a statement issued by the Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum Headquarters said at the time, per <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/visiting-israel-jerry-seinfeld-meets-with-freed-hostages-families-of-abductees/">The Times of Israel</a>. They further stated that he and his family were “deeply affected” by the stories of “the experiences they heard from the family members and the released hostages.” The comedian was wearing a “Bring Them Home” dog tag around his neck when he visited.
Pro-Palestinian protests have become more frequent in New York, and other celebrities have been targeted as well. Actor Alec Baldwin was confronted last December.

A protestor said to the “30 Rock” alum, “You work in Hollywood … so do you condemn Israel?”
“You’ve already got your mind made up,” Baldwin said in reply, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alec-baldwin-blows-up-on-anti-israel-protestor">reported</a>.
“I’m in Hollywood’s pocket, is that what you say?” he added. “You ask stupid questions.”
“Is that your answer?” the protester pressed him.
“Ask me a smart question!” Baldwin yelled back.
