Hundreds of activists flooded Penn Station and Grand Central Station in Midtown Manhattan on Monday night in an anti-Israel demonstration with some breaking off to taunt an actor known for his advocacy of progressive causes as he was on his way to teach an acting class.

Alec Baldwin, star of TV’s “30 Rock,” which was filmed in New York City, received a flurry of verbal abuse from protesters while he was passing by a crowd.

The protesters said the actor, who parodied former president and now Republican frontrunner for the 2024 elections Donald Trump on “SNL,” had a “tanking” career and “no ****** shame.”

When asked to condemn Israel, Baldwin responded, “No, I support peace in Gaza,” to which he received more harassment in return.

“You ask stupid questions,” the actor said back, according to the Post. “Ask me a smart question, and I’ll answer your question.”

Police officers ended up escorting Baldwin away from the protesters as they chanted “ceasefire now.”

The U.S. president told reporters that he intends to read his agreement with the Iranian regime “word by word” publicly to set the record straight.
“When you have something saying you can’t go to someone who uses divination, or a witch, or consults spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer, that means this is something people were doing,” Eddy Portnoy, the curator, told JNS.
“No family should have to fight this hard to ensure a Jewish child’s safety at school,” James Pasch, vice president of litigation for the ADL, stated.
The partnership is an “indication that elected officials are taking seriously the unprecedented increase in anti-Jewish incidents occurring in schools across our country,” Brandy Shufutinsky of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies told JNS.
FOZ founder Mike Evans said he plans to urge Trump to recognize Somaliland, citing its growing ties with Israel.
The former Missouri congresswoman stated that she has pledged to “bring an end to the U.S. military aid to Israel that enables genocide against Palestinians.”
