Jerry Seinfeld appears in great spirits as he steps out for some shopping in Sydney’s CBD after a clash with a pro-Palestine heckler at stand up gig

Jerry Seinfeld appears to be bothered by a heckler during his performance in Sydney this weekend.

The comedian was all smiles as he headed out to run errands in Sydney’s Central Business District, surrounded by babysitters.

The 70-year-old beamed and waved to onlookers as he walked down the street to check out the local shops.

Jerry was dressed warmly against the cold Sydney winter, in a long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans.

He wore a dark blue cap and a pair of white sneakers with red accents on the heel.

Jerry’s entourage kept a close eye on him as he walked around and surrounded the comedian throughout the journey.

It comes after Jerry blasted a pro-Palestine supporter who heckled the comedian during his stand-up performance in Sydney at the Qudos Bank Arena on Sunday night.

The incident, captured on video by the Australian Jewish Association, happened when an audience member interrupted Seinfeld with a provocative chant.

As Seinfeld performed for the audience, the heckler shouted, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

The outburst sparked immediate reactions from the crowd, who demanded the protester “go away” and chanted “Jerry, Jerry” in solidarity with the 70-year-old comedian.

Security quickly intervened and escorted the heckler out as the crowd erupted in boos.

Seinfeld, known for his sharp humor, didn’t miss a beat.

“We have a genius, ladies and gentlemen,” he joked sarcastically. ‘He solved the Middle East [crisis].’

The veteran comedian then launched a scathing satire on the heckler’s approach.

“It’s the Jewish comedian, that’s who we need to get, they’re the ones who do everything,” Seinfeld joked.

“They’ll start hitting you in about three seconds, so I would try to get all your genius out of it so we can all learn from you.”

Seinfeld’s punch didn’t stop there, he joked that the heckler was in the right place to get his point across.

‘You really have an influence on everyone here; we are all on your side now, because you made your point so well, and in the right place. This is the right place for a political conversation,” he said.

‘Tomorrow we will read in the newspaper: “Middle East 100 percent solved thanks to man in the Qudos arena who stops Jewish comedian.”

“They stopped him and everyone in the Middle East said, ‘Oh my God, let’s just get along, we can.’

Seinfeld also discussed Australia’s own history with racial issues.

“Because I know there are problems here, with the native Aboriginal people and the white people,” he noted.

“They’re having problems here, so maybe to fix that I’ll screw up a Jim Jefferies at a show in New York. If that works, this will work. You have to be 20,000 miles away from the problem and screw up a comedian, that’s how you solve the world’s problems.’

Seinfeld has made his support for Israel very clear, making him a prime target for pro-Palestinian supporters.

The comedian told the Times of Israel in December 2023, just over two months after the war in Gaza began, that he “lived and worked on a kibbutz in Israel when I was 16 and I have loved our Jewish homeland ever since.”

He added that he would “always stand by the side of Israel and the Jewish people.”

Following these comments, Seinfeld was confronted in New York City after attending the State of the World Jewry speech in February.

Journalist Bari Weiss gave the speech, and as Seinfeld left the event, protesters repeatedly shouted at him “liberate Palestine” and “you support genocide.”

And recently, dozens of Duke University students left their own commencement ceremony out of frustration that Seinfeld was about to speak.
