‘I don’t care about Palestine’: Jerry Seinfeld shuts down pro-Palestine activist

When Seinfeld did not respond, the activist, who reportedly requested the photo outside an event celebrating the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live, prompted him to “maybe” say the same.

Seinfeld replied: “I don’t care about Palestine,” before walking away from the influencer.

Subway DJ has previously posted guerilla-style ambushes of Seinfeld in public places; in November, they filmed him on a New York City street as people approached him for autographs and, over a loudspeaker, chanted: “Jerry, Jerry, don’t support genocide... stop supporting Israel.”

Seinfeld, meanwhile, has been consistent in his Israel advocacy, frequently voicing support for the war against Hamas since October 7 and meeting with hostages’ family members in 2023.

In a statement on Instagram following the attacks, the actor said: "We believe in justice, freedom, and equality. We survive and flourish no matter what. I will always stand with Israel and the Jewish people.”

It comes after groups of Duke University students walked out of Seinfeld’s commencement speech there last year in protest at his pro-Israel stance.
