Seinfeld Criticized for Dismissing Activist at NYC Event

Jerry Seinfeld faced backlash after dismissing a pro-Palestinian activist's statement during a selfie request outside the SNL 50th-anniversary celebration at Radio City Music Hall. The activist, known as Subway DJ, unexpectedly declared 'Free Palestine' while taking a selfie video with Seinfeld, who responded, 'I don't care about Palestine,' and walked away. This interaction, captured on video and posted online, went viral, sparking intense debate on social media. Critics labeled Seinfeld's comment as dismissive, while some defended him, arguing the activist's approach was disrespectful. Seinfeld, a vocal supporter of Israel, has been targeted by similar protests since the October 2023 Hamas attack in Israel. His support for Israel remains strong, emphasizing his belief in justice and equality.
