Summary
Outside Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, Jerry Seinfeld brushed off influencer FinesseFave's demand to say "Free Palestine," replying, "Ha-ha. It doesn't exist," before walking away.
FinesseFave, who has about 180,000 TikTok followers, posted the clip after the Knicks' dramatic one-point playoff win over the Spurs and mocked Seinfeld in the caption.
The confrontation fits a pattern of public challenges tied to Seinfeld's outspoken support for Israel since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack and the Gaza war.
In earlier incidents, Seinfeld told an activist in February 2025, "I don't care about Palestine," and in 2024 answered a show heckler in Sydney with sarcasm that drew applause.
His stance has remained unchanged since a December 2023 visit to Israel, where he met Oct. 7 survivors and backed families of hostages held in Gaza.
