Comedian Jerry Seinfeld had a witty response for a heckler who was ejected from his Sunday show in Sydney, Australia, after shouting anti-Israel slogans.
As the man was escorted out, Seinfeld sarcastically praised him, saying, “We have a genius, ladies and gentlemen! He’s solved the Middle East! He’s solved it! It’s the Jewish comedians, that’s who we have to get. They’re the ones doing everything!”
The heckler had shouted, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” a genocidal call for the destruction of Israel.
Seinfeld’s sarcastic remark drew laughter and cheers from the audience, highlighting the absurdity of the heckler’s outburst. Seinfeld has been vocal about his support for Israel since the October 7 terror attack by Hamas. He has also shown his solidarity with Israel by traveling there and having his wife donate to a pro-Israel counter-protest at the University of California Los Angeles.
Recently, anti-Israel graduates at Duke University walked out of Seinfeld’s speech as he received an honorary doctorate at graduation, further highlighting the growing divide over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
