In a New York City coffee shop, Alec Baldwin found himself caught in a heated confrontation with an anti-Israel protester, who repeatedly urged him to shout, "Free Palestine." Disturbing footage obtained by Page Six captured the incident at Maman on University Place, as Baldwin sought assistance from a male staff member, asking him to call the police.

The protester, known online as Crackhead Barney and the host of an "anti-fascist" show called "Crackhead Barney & Friends," relentlessly pressed Baldwin to voice his support for Palestine. Despite her assurance to leave him alone if he complied, Baldwin steadfastly refused. The interaction took an aggressive turn as the woman hurled insults, exclaiming, "F-k Israel, f-k Zionism."

The tension escalated further as the protester accused Baldwin of being a criminal and questioned his involvement in the death of an unidentified woman, alleging that he faced no consequences for his actions. Photos obtained by Page Six depict a physical struggle between Baldwin, dressed in a protective manner, and the woman, who sported red shorts and a white bra. Eventually, she walked away from the scene and continued down the block.

This is not the first time Baldwin has found himself entangled in an anti-Israel demonstration. Back in December, he faced a mob that demanded to know his stance on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. Despite receiving police protection, Baldwin struggled to ignore the demonstrators' remarks while attempting to access a locked door near West 29th Street.

According to an insider, Baldwin was approached aggressively and repeatedly during the incident, prompting the police to step in to prevent any further confrontation and ensure his safe passage to his destination. The incident is a stark reminder of the passionate divisions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, even in unexpected public spaces like a coffee shop.

As the news of the altercation spreads, both supporters and critics have weighed in on the incident, further fueling the ongoing conversation about the complex political situation in the Middle East. Alec Baldwin's encounter once again highlights the challenges faced by public figures as they navigate controversial topics in the public eye.

The aftermath of this incident is yet to unfold, and it remains to be seen how Baldwin will address the incident publicly or if any legal actions will be taken.
