Jerry Seinfeld shut down an anti-Israel influencer by telling him Palestine “doesn’t exist” after he was rushed while leaving the Garden Wednesday night following the Knicks’ historic NBA Finals comeback.
The legendary comedian, 72, was walking among the throngs of people after Game 4 when he was ambushed by a popular streamer armed with a mic and camera.
“What up, Seinfeld? What up? Can we get a ‘Free Palestine’?” said the streamer, FinesseFave, sticking a mic in the face of the Jewish actor and writer.
The famously quick-on-his-feet stand-up responded with a laugh before shutting down the incendiary question in three words.
“It doesn’t exist,” he said, before walking away.
FinesseFave later shared the video with his 180k TikTok followers, along with the caption, “Clown hasn’t been relevant in decades anyway.”
It isn’t the first time Seinfeld has been targeted by anti-Israel protestors, particularly following his full-throated support for the Jewish state in the wake of the October 7 attacks in 2023.
In May 2024, he was booed and dozens of students walked out as the comedian gave the commencement speech at Duke University.
Seinfeld, star of the eponymous iconic ’90s sitcom, was sitting on celebrity row at Madison Square Garden as the Knicks completed a record 29-point comeback against the San Antonio Spurs to take a 3-1 lead in the series.
