Jerry Seinfeld exited the annual State of the World Jewry address Sunday evening in NYC to anti-Israel protesters accusing him of supporting genocide … but he didn’t seem too fazed.
Check out the video … a chorus of people chant, “Genocide supporter, you support genocide,” upon seeing the comedian outside the Manhattan venue following the event that featured NYT columnist Bari Weiss, founder of The Free Press.

As you can see, Jerry’s as cool as a cucumber, even in the face of all that rage. He flashes a smile and gives a little wave before casually hopping into the back of a black SUV surrounded by NYPD officers.
Even after Jerry was long gone, those protesters were still going strong, chanting, “F*** you, you support genocide.”
It looks like the whole uproar against Jerry was due to his support for the event’s main speaker, Weiss, who’s known for her staunch support of Israel.

Weiss has caught some serious heat for criticizing Refaat Alareer, a Palestinian professor and poet before he tragically lost his life in an Israeli airstrike in December.
But, back to the rally outside the 92Y on NYC’s Upper East Side … it didn’t exactly have staying power. The cops showed up and ended up arresting 2 protesters.
As for Jerry, looks like a little protest action didn’t ruffle his feathers too much, and he’s far from the first celeb to be heckled by anti-Israel demonstrators in NYC — Alec Baldwin also found himself in a similar situation late last year.
