Comedian Jerry Seinfeld was met with unexpected protest while appearing outside Radio City Music Hall, as a pro-Palestinian activist known as "Subway DJ" approached him.

Seinfeld deftly dismissed the activist's remarks, continuing his history of reaffirming his support for Israel and the Jewish people, as Fox News reports.

The incident unfolded during Seinfeld's attendance at the celebration for Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary. As the comedian made his way through the bustling New York City venue, "Subway DJ" seized the opportunity to engage with him.

Pro-Palestinian Agitator Sparks Exchange

While requesting a selfie, the activist suddenly launched his message with, "Free Palestine." Seinfeld, unfazed by the unexpected confrontation, curtly responded with, "I don’t care about Palestine," and proceeded to move on.

This is not the first encounter with "Subway DJ" for Seinfeld. The activist had previously approached Seinfeld with similar remarks, accusing him of backing genocide and urging him to cease his support for Israel.

Such interactions have become a recurring theme for Seinfeld, who has performed amid protesters during his international comedy tours. These shows frequently draw the attention of those advocating for Palestine.

Seinfeld Addresses Persistent Protests

During a show in Australia, Seinfeld humorously addressed the activists.

He suggested, with characteristic irony, that interrupting a comedian's act could be a surprising solution to long-standing geopolitical conflicts.

"Tomorrow we will read in the paper: Middle East 100% solved thanks to man at the Qudos Arena stopping Jew comedian," Seinfeld quipped to his audience.

His lighthearted approach aimed to underscore the absurdity of such disruptions bringing any genuine resolution.

He expanded on this notion by referencing local issues in Australia, humorously hinting at how disrupting unrelated events halfway around the globe might solve significant social challenges.

Comedian's Firm Support for Israel

Protests against Seinfeld have intensified since the October 2023 Hamas terrorist attacks. Many demonstrators criticize him for his unwavering support of Israel.

Seinfeld, however, remains steadfast in his views. He has regularly expressed his alliance with Israel and the Jewish community, particularly in light of the recent strife.

The confrontations have not gone unnoticed by the comedian, who playfully acknowledges the protesters during his performances.

"Oh, you're back," he joked on stage, highlighting the persistence of these activists.

Seinfeld's Response to Activist Remarks

Frequently incorporating the protesters into his act, Seinfeld attempts to diffuse the tension with humor, both acknowledging their presence and maintaining his stance.

"I think you need to go back and tell whoever is running your organization, ‘We just gave more money to a Jew,’" Seinfeld quipped, underscoring his ability to turn contentious moments into comedic relief for his audience.

The comedian's approach to handling these protests demonstrates his commitment to his beliefs while using comedy as a tool to navigate controversial interactions.
