Comedian Jerry Seinfeld had his set interrupted yet again by pro-Palestinian protesters, this time roasting the demonstrators for paying money to get into the show.
Seinfeld took protesters head on last week after they interrupted another show that is part of his Australian comedy tour. Seinfeld found himself facing demonstrators again when performing on Saturday at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne when a group began chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” Footage was first posted by the Herald Sun.
The protesters also accused Seinfeld of supporting “genocide” amid the Israel-Hamas war.
“I think you need to go back and tell whoever is running your organization, ‘We just gave more money to a Jew,’” Seinfeld said to laughter from the audience.
Seinfeld told the group they need to “come up with a better plan” as they were escorted out of the arena by police.
“Oh, you’re not doing well. It’s so hard for you,” Seinfeld told the disruptors, pointing out that booing from the audience was not a good sign that their message was getting across.
A dozen protesters also demonstrated outside the venue, holding signs reading, “fuck you, Jerry Seinfeld.”

At a show last week, Seinfeld also chose to roast protesters heckling him from the audience.
“It’s the Jewish comedians, that’s who we have to get!” Seinfeld joked. “They’re the ones doing everything.”
