These nut cases of the Hamas supporter crowd variety continue to attack and harass people all over the planet. The west invites this.
Jerry Seinfeld faced disruptions at his comedy show in Australia, where pro-Palestinian activists interrupted his performance at the ICC Sydney Theatre. The incident, which followed a similar disruption over the weekend, involved two men shouting “free Palestine” and unfurling a Palestinian flag. The crowd responded with loud boos, while Seinfeld addressed the protesters with mockery, highlighting their lack of appropriate timing and venue for their political expression.
Seinfeld, a 70-year-old legendary comedian, continued to mock the protesters as security handled the situation. He sarcastically acknowledged their strong political feelings but pointed out that their actions were ruining the night for the audience, not affecting him. Seinfeld humorously suggested that the protest was staged by him, introducing the protesters as fictional friends to further the joke.

He addressed the protesters directly, expressing a mix of sarcasm and humor, thanking them for coming and inquiring if they enjoyed the earlier parts of his show. This approach defused the tension, turning the disruption into a moment of comedic relief for the audience.
Seinfeld has been facing similar protests at his recent shows and public appearances due to his support for Israel following Hamas’ attacks on October 7 and the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Protesters also disrupted his commencement speech at Duke University last month, following news that his wife, Jessica, had donated to a pro-Israel counterprotest at UCLA, which preceded an attack on a pro-Palestinian encampment on campus.
