Jerry Seinfeld smiles and waves off anti-Israel protesters screaming 'Nazi scum' at him in NYC

Jerry Seinfeld was confronted by a group of around 20 anti-Israel protesters while leaving the State of the World Jewry event at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan's Upper East Side on Sunday night.

The 69-year-old billionaire comedian - who's descended from Syrian Jews - smiled and waved as hecklers yelled obscenities, honked car horns, hit cowbells, blew whistles, and paraded Palestinian flags.

Jerry appeared unbothered as he hopped into a waiting black SUV as the protesters screamed things like 'Nazi scum,' 'genocide supporter,' 'you support genocide,' 'free Palestine,' 'f*** you,' and 'f***ing p***y.'

Seinfeld - who's practiced Transcendental Meditation for over 50 years - was surrounded by NYPD officers, and two protesters wound up getting arrested, according to TMZ.

Nearly 30K Palestinians have reportedly been killed (compared to 1,464 Israelis) since Hamas' terrorist attack against Southern Israel on October 7.

On December 18, the Emmy winner and his wife Jessica Seinfeld made a support visit to Israel to see the site of the Be'eri massacre and visit the Abducted and Missing Families Forum headquarters as well as the Brothers and Sisters of Israel.

The 52-year-old GOOD+ Foundation founder - who's also Jewish - documented their entire journey in an Instagram slideshow she posted December 23.

'We saw homes where families were tortured, shot, bombed, and burned alive. We stood in a field where kids at a music festival were murdered and kidnapped by the hundreds as they fled,' Jessica (born Nina Sklar) wrote.

'As painful as it was to be in those places, however, what I will remember the most is the people we met in Israel. Heroes who rescued and saved thousands of lives. Young people from New York who came to work in farms to replace those who have gone to fight against Hamas. Former hostages and families of those still being held who have been through trauma but are still seeking to help. Extraordinary individuals who have come together to provide emergency assistance through citizen service.'

Seinfeld continued: 'This was my fifth visit to Israel, and I have never seen a more unified country. Among people of all walks of life, from wounded soldiers to families of peace activists whose mothers, fathers or siblings were murdered or are still held captive in Gaza, the horror of October 7th has erased divisions within Israel. Everyone has come together for a greater cause – to defeat Hamas, to build a better and safer Israel, and a better, safer world.'

After Jerry was screamed at on Sunday, the former cookbook author Instastoried a video of Barbra Streisand captioned: 'Keep speaking the truth Jews. We may not be popular for it, but where there is truth, there is freedom.'

Jessica famously left her first husband - Broadway theater scion Eric Nederlander - after their Italian honeymoon in 1998 and took up with Seinfeld, and they've been married for 24 years now.

The New York-born empty nesters will next celebrate the 21st birthday of their son Julian this Friday, and they're also parents of 23-year-old daughter Sascha and 18-year-old son Shepherd.
