ALBAWABA - Jerry Seinfeld ignited controversy after rejecting a viral Free Palestine request.
Jerry Seinfeld responded bluntly to an influencer who wanted him to proclaim "free Palestine," stating that it does not exist. What up, Seinfeld? In a TikTok video, streamer Finesse Fave said, "Can we get a 'free Palestine?'" Seinfeld laughed. "Come on, give us a 'free Palestine.'"
Seinfeld said, "It doesn't exist."
The comedian also faced anti-Israel hecklers while leaving a New York Knicks game in May. Seinfeld, sporting a Knicks hat, took it in stride and laughed in the protester’s face as she accused him of supporting "the genocide of babies in Gaza."
A video shared on the Palestinian Assembly for Liberation's Instagram page shows the comedian heading to his car while someone off-camera begins shouting at him. Jerry Seinfeld, F--- you! "Free Palestine," the individual off camera yelled at Seinfeld. "You support the genocide of babies in Gaza!"
During a September appearance at Duke University, the comedian slammed the "free Palestine" campaign.
The creator of "Seinfeld" attended a university gathering honoring Omer Shem Tov, an Israeli hostage kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and kept captive for 505 days.
Seinfeld introduced Shem Tov before mocking anti-Israel protestors, remarking that the KKK was "honest" in their hatred for Jews.
To me, Free Palestine simply means that you are free to proclaim you dislike Jews. "Just say you don't like Jews," Seinfeld said. "By saying 'Free Palestine,' you're not admitting what you really believe," he continued. "So it's actually—compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I think the Klan is actually a little better here because they can come out and say, 'We don't like Blacks; we don't like Jews.'" "Okay, that's honest.
The "Seinfeld" creator, known for his antique automobile collection, recently weighed in on electric vehicles.
"I have no interest in electric cars," he told AirMail in an interview published Saturday. "If anyone else wants to do it, that's OK. I believe it's a big, foolish virtue signal. Look at me. I'm protecting the earth, yeah. What about Lithium? "It's all nonsense."
When asked about self-driving automobiles, the stand-up comic joked that he often tells his kids that their children will say, "You mean, when you grew up, they would let people just drive at any speed and steer the car themselves? "Didn't they always crash and kill themselves? Yeah."
The 72-year-old collects rare Porsches and does not know how many he currently has.
I often say that's a figure that, if you looked at it, you wouldn't think, "This number makes sense."
