Comedian Jerry Seinfeld is perhaps one of the kings of comedy when it comes to quick-witted one-liners.
So don’t expect Seinfeld to fire back at hecklers when the occasion warrants.
Seinfeld shut down an anti-Israel influencer by telling him Palestine “doesn’t exist” after he was rushed while leaving the Garden Wednesday night following the Knicks’ historic NBA Finals comeback.
The legendary comedian, 72, was walking among the throngs of people after Game 4 when he was ambushed by a popular streamer armed with a mic and camera.
“What up, Seinfeld? What up? Can we get a ‘Free Palestine’?” said the streamer known as FinesseFave.
The famously quick-on-his-feet standup responded with a laugh before shutting down the incendiary question in three words.
“It doesn’t exist,” he said, before walking away.

FinesseFave later shared the video with his 180,000 TikTok followers, along with the caption, “Clown hasn’t been relevant in decades anyway.”
Seinfeld, who is Jewish, has not shied away from his support of Israel, despite ongoing heckling and disruptions at many of Seinfeld’s public engagements over the years.
In May 2024, he was booed, and dozens of students walked out as the comedian gave the commencement speech at Duke University.
Two weeks later, he was interrupted on stage by an anti-Israel protester who jumped up and yelled, “Free Gaza” during a standup show in Norfolk, Virginia, TMZ reported.
The audience responded by booing the heckler and chanting, “Jerry! Jerry!” as another bystander got the protester in a headlock before security ushered the man out.
“This is exciting. I like this. I like a little Jew hate to spice up the show,” Seinfeld joked darkly from the stage as the heckler was evicted.
The show continued, but protesters interrupted Seinfeld a further eight times throughout the 90-minute set.
Seinfeld has also faced abuse on the streets of his native New York, with two high-profile incidents in 2025.
In February 2025, an influencer asked Seinfeld for a selfie outside Radio City Music Hall, instead recording himself saying “Free Palestine” while filming the comedian.
Seinfeld responded by saying, “I don’t care about Palestine,” before walking away.
This is also the second time he’s faced anti-Israel rhetoric while leaving a Knicks game.
After a Knicks game in May 2025, a protester filmed themselves telling Seinfeld he supports the genocide of babies in Gaza.
“Only you,” Seinfeld quipped, as he got into his car.
Seinfeld’s standup shows have faced continual picketing this year, with protesters branding him a “genocide apologist” ahead of his appearance in Aurora, Illinois, in January, as the Jamia Times reported at the time.
However, Seinfeld continues to remain unbothered.
He was one of a number of big-time celebrities sitting in celebrity row ta Madison Square Garden as the Knicks completed a record 29-point comeback against the San Antonio Spurs to take a 3-1 lead in the series last night.
