The American comedian Jerry Seinfeld swiftly shot down an anti-Israel activist telling him he doesn’t “care about Palestine” when the online personality attempted to ambush him this weekend with a video, according to a clip posted on social media on Sunday.
Instagram provocateur “Subway DJ” requested a selfie with Seinfeld outside an event celebrating the 50th anniversary of “Saturday Night Live.”
“Free Palestine,” the activist then said as he flashed a peace sign in the selfie with Seinfeld in the backdrop as the video rolled. “Maybe?” Subway DJ asked.
“I don’t care about Palestine,” Seinfeld replied, walking away.

The 70-year-old Jewish celebrity has been a staunch and outspoken supporter of Israel since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas onslaught on southern Israel, at a time when many other Jewish Hollywood actors stayed silent.
Last year, Seinfeld, who has repeatedly brushed off opponents for his support for Israel, roasted an anti-Israel heckler who interrupted a comedy show he held in Australia.
He has described his visit to Israel after the single worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust as “the most powerful experience of my life.”
