Furious Alec Baldwin clashes with anti-Israel mob in NYC after protesters accused him of ‘genocide’ and taunted him over on-set Rust shooting

Actor Alec Baldwin was involved in a confrontation at a pro-Palestine protest in Manhattan on Monday night, telling a protester to “shut up” before being led away by police.

Baldwin, 56, was seen among a crowd near West 29th Street. In a video posted to social media, a protester shoved a phone in the actor's face and demanded if he supported Israel.

“Because I'm in Hollywood?” Baldwin responded. 'You're asking stupid questions. Ask me a smart question.'

Another voice in the crowd started shouting, “Who do you think you are?” and “Go fuck yourself.”

“Shut up,” Baldwin barked as he was led away by police.

'Stop crying! Stop crying!' he shouted as protesters continued to accost him, before indiscriminately pointing a finger at the crowd and saying, “But I want peace for Gaza.”

It is unclear who initiated the confrontation and whether Baldwin was part of the march organized by Within Our Lifetime, a Palestinian-led community organization active in New York City since 2015.

A flyer advertising the event said “No school, no work, no shopping” and urged protesters to “bring banners, megaphones and Bluetooth speakers.”

Protesters gathered in Grand Central's main hall Monday afternoon, waving Palestinian flags and cheering, in an effort to draw attention to their cause.

The demonstration was part of the international Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) campaign, which aims to “put pressure on Israel to comply with international law and convince private companies to end their participation in Israel's crimes to end'.

The campaign has accused a handful of companies of “profiting from Israel's crimes,” some of which provide financial support to Israeli banks or the military.

NYPD officers walked around the crowd and blocked routes into the terminal, including a passageway leading to Vanderbilt Hall.

The crowd moved to 42nd Street, with some demonstrators carrying signs reading “Support the Palestinian Resistance” and “From Gaza to Jenin, Revolution to Victory.”

As they walked past Zara on 5th Avenue, a chant rang out: “Zara, Zara, you can't hide! You support genocide!'

The fast fashion brand came under fire last year after the head of the retailer's local franchise in Israel hosted a campaign event for an ultranationalist politician.

The company faced renewed backlash last week over a campaign featuring mannequins with missing limbs and statues wrapped in white bags. The ads were seen as insensitive and callous amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Although the photos were taken in September, a month before the war began, the photo was heavily denounced by internet users for its perceived tone-deafness.

The demonstrators reached Times Square and raised their flags high. Upon reaching the New York Times building, a new chant broke out: “Every time the media lies, a neighborhood in Gaza dies!”

The march then moved to the Port Authority bus station, where police had set up barricades on the sidewalk.

Some protesters banged on the windows of a nearby Starbucks, trying to get the attention of those inside as police stood nearby.

Although the company is not on the official BDS boycott list, it found itself in the crosshairs after the workers' union sent out a social media message in support of Palestine a few weeks after the October 7 Hamas attack.

The company sued Starbucks Workers United for trademark infringement. The union challenged this and asked a federal court in Pennsylvania to rule that it could continue to use its name and a similar logo.

The company also distanced itself from the union's pro-Palestinian stance through a statement that read: “We unequivocally condemn these acts of terrorism, hatred and violence, and disagree with the statements and positions of Workers United and its members.'

The crowd eventually reached Penn Station, where police barricaded both the elevators and street access.

Protesters streamed through the Moynihan train hall, shouting: “Israel bombs! US pays! How many children have you killed today?'

They gathered for a moment of prayer at the station, laying down flags and bowing their heads as NYPD officers surrounded them.

The crowd passed through Madison Square Park, closely followed by officers on bicycles, and quickly turned onto 7th Avenue.

It was there that police began to infiltrate the crowd. A video on social media showed an officer walking up to a teenager wearing a keffiyeh scarf and shouting in his ear as police began grabbing and pushing other protesters.

A juvenile in a brown sweatshirt was pinned against a nearby window and handcuffed. He was taken to a black truck nearby, where officers on bicycles formed a circle, blocking other protesters from reaching him.
