Jerry Seinfeld dances as pro-Palestine protesters interrupt Chicago show

Jerry Seinfeld had a Chicago show interrupted on Friday night, October 9, by protesters confronting the comedian over his support of Israel and condemnation of pro-Palestine demonstrators.

Footage from the US Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) and Anti-War Committee (Chicago Chapters) captures the interaction at the Chicago Theatre, including Seinfeld saying, “I’m a racist. It’s a genocide. I’m into it,” and vowing to send the protesters’ ticket costs to Israel.

Seinfeld’s supporters and audience members “have also responded to protesters with hostility, intimidation, threats, and physical violence,” USPCN said on Instagram.

People can be heard in the footage shouting, “Get the f— out of here!” and telling security to “Rough the b—- up,” referring to one of the protesters.

“Friday’s disruption sent a clear message: Those who defend Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza and throughout Palestine will be met with protest and are not welcome on Chicago’s stages without opposition,” USPCN said.
