Palestinian protestors disrupt Seinfeld (again)

Pro-Palestinian protestors have again disrupted Jerry Seinfeld’s show in Sydney, with the comedian claiming they were “ruining the night.”

Seinfeld was forced to interact with the activists on Tuesday night, who were carrying Palestinian flags and began yelling “Free Palestine” during his stand-up routine.

A video obtained by The Daily Telegraph shows the crowd appearing to groan and laugh as the protestors were escorted out of the ICC.

Jerry Seinfeld told protestors he was ruining the night of those who came to see his show.

“It’s working. You’re doing so good. You have strong political feelings … but you don’t know where to say them,” Seinfeld said in jest.

“Ruining the night … it doesn’t affect me … all these people, you’re ruining their night.”

A witness who attended the show, Henry, said: “Police and security were quick to act.”

“Everyone was immediately booing them out and were cheering on as they were escorted out. Jerry didn’t hold back and had us all laughing.”

Seinfeld’s first Sydney show was also briefly interrupted by protestors on Sunday night.

The legendary comedian, who is Jewish, has been a target for activists due to his vocal support of Israel and a visit to the nation after the horrific terror attack on October 7.
