Comedian Jerry Seinfeld remained unfazed as he was confronted by anti-Israel protesters outside the annual State of the World Jewry address in New York City on Sunday evening. The protesters accused Seinfeld of supporting genocide, chanting, "Genocide supporter, you support genocide," as he exited the Manhattan venue following the event featuring NYT columnist Bari Weiss.

Weiss, known for her staunch support of Israel, has faced criticism for her remarks about Palestinian professor and poet Refaat Alareer, who lost his life in an Israeli airstrike in December.

Despite the heated confrontation, Seinfeld appeared undisturbed by the protests. The demonstration continued even after Seinfeld had left, with protesters shouting, "F*** you, you support genocide." The rally outside the 92Y on NYC's Upper East Side was eventually disbanded by the police, who arrested two protesters.

Seinfeld is not the first celebrity to be targeted by anti-Israel demonstrators in New York City, as actor Alec Baldwin also faced a similar situation late last year.
