Jerry Seinfeld declares: "I'm racist. It's a genocide. I'm into it."

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld is currently on tour - and happily fielding heckling about his position on Gaza.

Seinfeld, 74, has been open about his pro-Israel position since the October 7 attacks in 2023.

His latest public defense came last week, at a show in Chicago.

Two audience members stood up as he was speaking, and confronted him about his anti-Palestine stance. 

Seinfeld, who is Jewish, was accused by the hacklers of being a “genocide apologist” by supporting Israel’s military action.

The comedian, 74, did a little jig to make light of the moment they were calling out to him, then with comedic tone agreed, "I'm racist. It's a genocide. I'm into it." 

Naturally, video of the incident has now gone viral.

“Sending it to Israel”

In another interaction during the show, Seinfeld told a heckler as they were being removed by security: 

“I’m gonna find out how much your ticket was and I’m sending it to Israel.”

As the audience cheered, he added: “No I won’t. I’m keeping it.”

Over the loud sound of booing, Seinfeld finally said, “You’re doing great. You’re getting them on your side, can you hear it? It’s working.”

Seinfeld has vocally supported Israel since the Hamas-led attack two years ago.

He visited Israel at the end of 2023 and met with families of hostages taken by Hamas.

Last year, Seinfeld compared the Free Palestine movement with the Klu Klux Klan.

“Just say you don’t like Jews,” he reportedly told a student event at Duke University in the US.

“By saying ‘Free Palestine,’ you’re not admitting what you really think. 

“So it’s actually — compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here, because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews.’

" OK, that’s honest’.”
