DUBAI: American comedian and actor Jerry Seinfeld confronted another group of pro-Palestine hecklers at his stand-up show in Melbourne, Australia, during the latest in a series of disruptions to his tour.
Protestors began shouting: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” towards the end of the event at the Rod Laver Arena, to which Seinfeld replied: “Oh, you’re back. They’re back! The protesters are back! I missed you.”
The 70-year-old sitcom star continued: “I think you need to go back and tell whoever is running your organization, ‘We just gave more money to a Jew.’ That cannot be a good plan for you. You gotta come up with a better plan.”
Seinfeld has been vocal in his support for Israel following Hamas’s attack on Oct. 7 last year. He also met with families of hostages and visited a kibbutz during a trip to Israel in December.
Throughout his tour, Seinfeld has repeatedly been heckled due to his outspoken support.
At his show in Sydney last week, the comedian called a heckler who was escorted out by security a moron and said: “We have a genius, ladies and gentlemen. He solved the Middle East!”
