Jerry Seinfeld is a forthright and passionate supporter of Israel. He’s previously said, “I will always stand with Israel,” has argued that anyone saying “Free Palestine” is actually saying they “don’t like Jews,” that Palestine itself “doesn’t exist,” and that people who support Palestine are worse than the Ku Klux Klan.
This has made him a frequent target for pro-Palestinian activists, who have in recent years repeatedly interrupted his stand-up shows with heckling. For example, during his 2024 shows in Australia, he was dubbed a “genocide supporter,” “racist,” “genocide apologist,” and “Nazi scum,” as those present chanted “From the river to the sea,” or cited Palestinian death figures.
