In a clip circulating online, comedian Jerry Seinfeld is seen declining a passerby's request to chant 'Free Palestine,' replying 'It doesn't exist.' The exchange occurred outside a New York Knicks game, according to the video's uploader. Seinfeld, a longtime supporter of Israel, has previously faced activist pressure.
A new clip showing Jerry Seinfeld responding to a request to chant 'Free Palestine' by saying 'It doesn't exist' is circulating online. The exchange was captured outside a New York Knicks game, according to the video's uploader. This is the latest development in a story The Zioneer has been tracking since 13:52 Jerusalem.
As reported at 13:52 Jerusalem, initial versions of the story varied: one report cited by the desk described the exchange as occurring during a show, with video circulating on Instagram; another — the version that now appears to be the dominant one — placed the exchange on a public street, with a fan calling the remark 'insane.' By 15:08 Jerusalem, the desk published its first bulletin framing the clip as showing Seinfeld declining a 'Free Palestine' request with 'It doesn't exist.' The exact setting of the exchange has since been clarified as outside a Knicks game.
Seinfeld has long been a vocal supporter of Israel and has faced activist pressure in the past. The Zioneer reported at 15:08 Jerusalem on a similar incident involving a reported confrontation with anti-Israel protesters in recent weeks. A separate, unverified report from 11:58 Jerusalem described Knicks fans waving a Palestinian flag involved in a disturbance in New York City, though the scale and cause of that incident remain unclear, and no direct link to this exchange has been established.
The clip has been widely shared on social media. The full context of the exchange — including whether it was prompted by political activism — remains unconfirmed, but the response aligns with Seinfeld's public record.
