**New York, NY** – Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has ignited a firestorm of controversy after a video surfaced online showing him rejecting a plea for support of Palestine. The incident occurred outside Radio City Music Hall during a *Saturday Night Live* 50th-anniversary celebration.
Social media influencer “Subway DJ” approached Seinfeld for a photograph. After posing for a picture, Subway DJ unexpectedly launched into a “Free Palestine” statement, filming the interaction. Seinfeld, visibly uncomfortable, responded with “I don’t care about Palestine” before walking away.
The brief exchange, captured on video and widely shared, has split public opinion. Some social media users condemned Seinfeld for his perceived insensitivity, accusing him of being dismissive of the ongoing Gaza conflict. Others criticized Subway DJ for the ambush, arguing his approach was inappropriate.
“We don’t care about Seinfeld or anyone who supports genocide,” wrote one user, reflecting the strong emotions the video elicited. Others expressed disappointment, stating their affection for Seinfeld had been damaged by the encounter.
Seinfeld, who is Jewish, is a known supporter of Israel. In December 2023, he visited Israel and met with families of hostages, publicly declaring his unwavering support for the country and the Jewish people. This past May, his stance caused a walkout by students protesting at his Duke University commencement address.
The video’s virality highlights the deeply sensitive nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the strong opinions it evokes, even extending to public interactions with celebrities.
