You have to hand it to the people who protest over Gaza.
They do everything from protesting on campuses to blocking roadways. And none of those things will do anything at all to stop Israel from taking out the Hamas terrorists, who attacked their nation and killed more than 1,200 people on October 7, 2023. In addition to being just wrong on the subject in general, they're also ridiculously ineffective and engaged in a complete waste of time. It's like the climate protesters who block roads and destroy artwork; they just make people despise them even more.
But if there's anything dumber than blocking roads or occupying campuses, it's protesting a comedian like Jerry Seinfeld. What exactly does he have to do with anything Israel might do? But Seinfeld doesn't let these crazies cow him. He had some bother him before, and he pointed out then how bothering a comedian wasn't going to get them what they wanted.

On Saturday night while he was at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, the hecklers were at it again.
"You support genocide," one of them shouted. They also chanted, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” the antisemitic slogan the radicals are fond of. Watch, as Seinfeld just comes right back at them:
US comedian Jerry Seinfeld has hit back at pro-Palestine protesters after disrupting his show at Rod Laver Arena last night.

“Oh, you’re back. They’re back! The protesters are back! I missed you,” Seinfeld mocking them.
The regular audience then roundly booed them.
Seinfeld then continued to savage them.
"Oh you're not doing well," he commiserated with them. "It's so hard for you."
“Listen, you and I are in the same business. We’re in the same business. Our business is to get people to see things the way we see it. The problem is, you’re in the wrong place. Do you hear how well I’m doing? This is what you want.”
“I think you need to go back and tell whoever is running your organization, ‘We just gave more money to a Jew.’ That cannot be a good plan for you. You gotta come up with a better plan.”
Ooof, now that was wonderful. Did they really think they could take on a stand-up comic who is quicker than they will ever be?
That just brought down the house, and set the audience off into gales of laughter. He's right, not very well thought out on the hecklers' part. But none of their actions are. What do they think he's going to do? Roll over and say, "Gee, you crazy folks are right! I just didn't realize it before."? They just look stupid when they do things like this.
