Jerry Seinfeld roasted anti-Israel hecklers who disrupted a show in Melbourne over the weekend, reminding them that they paid to see him perform.
Jerry Seinfeld poked fun at a group of anti-Israel hecklers at his show in Melbourne over the weekend, prompting a loud applause and laughter from the audience. Seinfeld was performing Saturday night at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on the latest stop of his Australian tour, when a group of anti-Israel protesters began yelling, 'you support genocide' moments before he wrapped up his set.
Despite the interruption, the 70-year-old comedy legend, who has been vocal about his support for the Jewish State, did not skip a beat. 'Oh, you're back. The protesters are back! I've missed you,' he replied. 'Oh, you're not doing well. It's so hard for you.' 'I think you need to go back and tell whoever is running your organization, ‘We just gave more money to a Jew,’' he later quipped. 'That cannot be a good plan for you.
Earlier in the night, a group of anti-Israel protesters were seen outside the arena holding signs with 'F**k Jerry Seinfeld' written on them, according to news.com.au. Seinfeld has faced similar disruptions at previous shows during his Australia tour. When a heckler chanted 'from the river to the sea Palestine will be free' during a show in Sydney, the comedy icon replied sarcastically, 'We have a genius, ladies and gentlemen. He solved the Middle East. He solved it.
You have strong political feelings but you don’t know where to say them,' the comedian fired back, according to the outlet. 'You think that ruining the night … it doesn’t affect me … all these people, you’re ruining their night.' Seinfeld similarly mocked anti-Israel protesters when they interrupted his Virginia show back in May, commenting, 'This is fun. I like this. I think your message is really resonating with the crowd. People seem to be on your side.
