Seinfeld, who has long been an outspoken supporter of Israel, happily posed for the photo – until Subway DJ brought up the Gaza conflict while secretly filming a video instead.
The comedian, 70, was asked for a photo by the influencer, known as Subway DJ, at Radio City Music Hall where Saturday Night Live was hosting a 50th-anniversary celebration.
Subway DJ asked, “Jerry, can I get a selfie?” to which the comedy legend replied: “Sure!” and leaned in to pose for what he believed was a photo.
Seinfeld immediately appeared uncomfortable in the footage and, when asked to repeat the phrase, shook his head and said: “I don’t care about Palestine,” before walking away from the activist.
Jerry Seinfeld issued a blunt response to an activist who urged him to show support for Palestine during a selfie request.
