## Seinfeld's Chicago show disrupted
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld turned tables on anti-Israel protesters who attempted to derail his Chicago performance last Friday.

> Twenty-two thousand Palestinians who are children now are killed with our taxpayer money, and you’re making jokes!
## Protesters accuse Israel of genocide
Activists shouted at Seinfeld accusing Israel of committing 'genocide' in Gaza and claiming American taxpayer dollars fund civilian deaths.

> Twenty-two thousand Palestinians who are children now are killed with our taxpayer money, and you’re making jokes!
## Seinfeld's sarcastic response

## Seinfeld's ticket money joke
Seinfeld joked he would find out how much protesters paid for tickets and send the money directly to Israel.

## Protesters claim responsibility
The Anti-War Committee Chicago and Chicago branch of US Palestinian Community Network took credit for organizing the disruption.

> Friday’s disruption sent a clear message: Those who defend Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza and throughout Palestine will be met with protest and are not welcome on Chicago’s stages without opposition
## Comedian Tim Young explains
Tim Young, a media analyst, says protesters pay top dollar to hijack comedy shows for viral attention rather than political discourse.

> They know that once they start yelling, everyone will whip their cameras out, and it is a very direct interaction and maybe one of the only direct interactions protesters get to have with celebrities and with the internet
## Seinfeld's past conflicts
Seinfeld faced protests at Duke University in May 2024 and returned in September 2025 to address anti-Israel demonstrations.

> Free Palestine is, to me, just, you’re free to say you don’t like Jews. Just say you don’t like Jews.
