Jerry Seinfeld shut down an anti-Israel influencer by telling him Palestine \u201cdoesn\u2019t exist\u201d after he was rushed while leaving the Garden Wednesday night following the Knicks\u2019 historic NBA Finals comeback<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat up, Seinfeld? What up? Can we get a \u2018Free Palestine\u2019?\u201d said the streamer<\/a>, FinesseFave, sticking a mic in the face of the Jewish actor and writer.<\/p>\n

The famously quick-on-his-feet stand-up responded with a laugh before shutting down the incendiary question in three words.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t exist,\u201d he said, before walking away.<\/p>\n

FinesseFave later shared the video with his 180k TikTok followers, along with the caption, \u201cClown hasn\u2019t been relevant in decades anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

In May 2024, he was booed, and dozens of students walked out as the comedian gave the\u00a0commencement speech at Duke University<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two weeks later, he was interrupted on stage by an anti-Israel protester who jumped up and yelled \u201cFree Gaza\u201d during a stand-up show in Norfolk, Virginia,\u00a0TMZ reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The audience responded by booing the heckler and chanting, \u201cJerry! Jerry!\u201d as another bystander got the protester in a headlock before security ushered the man out.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is exciting. I like this. I like a little Jew hate to spice up the show,\u201d Seinfeld joked darkly from the stage as the heckler was evicted.<\/p>\n

The show continued, but protesters interrupted Seinfeld a further eight times throughout the 90-minute set.<\/p>\n

Seinfeld has also faced abuse on the streets of his native New York, with two high-profile incidents in 2025.<\/p>\n

In February 2025, an influencer asked Seinfeld for a selfie outside Radio City Music Hall, before instead recording himself saying \u201cFree Palestine\u201d while filming the comedian.<\/p>\n

Seinfeld responded by saying, \u201cI don\u2019t care about Palestine,\u201d before walking away.<\/p>\n

And while leaving the Garden after a Knicks game in May 2025, a vile protester filmed themselves telling Seinfeld he support the genocide of babies in Gaza.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly you,\u201d Seinfeld quipped, as he got into his car.<\/p>\n

His standup shows have faced continual picketing this year, with protesters branding him a \u201cgenocide apologist\u201d ahead of his appearance in Aurora, Illinois, in January, as\u00a0the Jamia Times<\/a>\u00a0reported at the time.<\/p>\n

Seinfeld, star of the eponymous iconic \u201990s sitcom, was sitting on celebrity row at 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.<\/p>\n

The Knicks are on the brink of their first NBA Championship since 1973 if they beat the Spurs in Texas on Saturday, with tip-off at 8:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
