Anti-Israel Heckler Has the Chutzpah to Take on Jerry Seinfeld, Gets an Instant Lesson in Comedy

An anti-Israel protester heckles legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
That would be something to see.
After all, Seinfeld has been in the game a long time and no doubt has an arsenal of zingers to put a heckler in place.
So what did he do when a heckler started spouting pro-Palestinian slogans during his standup gig Saturday in Norfolk, Virginia?
Very little.
Because the crowd, risking missing out on Seinfeld’s humor, was itself not amused.
Big-time.
As seen in a video shared on Instagram by Hampton Roads for Palestine, the comedian was doing his thing at a sold-out Chrysler Hall when a protester shouted, “Save the children of Gaza! No more American tax dollars for genocide!”
The crowd wasn’t going to take this.
Are you a fan of Seinfeld?
“Shut up!” an audience member hollered at the protester. “Shut up and get out!”
The crowd’s anger grew when a demonstrator shouted that Seinfeld was “a genocide supporter.”
“You should be ashamed of yourself!” the protester said. “You should all be ashamed of yourselves!”
The comedian was sarcastically unflappable as the audience booed those trying to disrupt the show.
“I think your message is resonating with the crowd,” Seinfeld said. “People seem to be on your side.”
Right in front of the camera, someone grabbed a protester. “Hey, hey,” a man said. “Let go of him!”
The comedian took it all in.
“This is exciting,” he said. “I like this. I like it when the Jew-haters spice up the show.”

As the scuffle continued and the crowd shouted the protesters down, one of them yelled, “Save the children of Gaza!”
Nobody cared. Whatever one’s persuasion, this was neither the time nor the place.
Eventually, the noise subsided, and the crowd cheered when Seinfeld said, “Alright. I’m gonna keep going.”
The crowd was fed up.
Indeed, most people are.
People want to go to a comedy show, their favorite restaurant or a Broadway play without the rude interjection of political nonsense from disruptive demonstrators.
Americans are tired of being pressured by activists, whether said activists want Israel destroyed or they’re burning cities in the name of George Floyd or they’re looting stores unchecked or they’re pushing sexual perversion.
Maybe some people wanted an evening of normal entertainment with comedy, not drama.
At the Seinfeld event, the star performer didn’t have to react much.
His audience took care of things.
Only one thing for the acclaimed comedy veteran to do — it was on with the show.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
Sincerely,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor
