ALBAWABA - Famous American comedian and actor Jerry Seinfeld recently sparked backlash among human rights and pro-Palestine activists when he told streamer FinesseFave that Palestine "doesn't exist" after the Knicks game.
FinesseFave approached Seinfeld while streaming live on Kick and asked the actor to give him a "Free Palestine." However, Seinfeld brushed the streamer off, laughed, and then said it "doesn't exist."
The American actor has drawn significant controversy in the past for his pro-Israel stance. He previously compared the "Free Palestine" movement to the Ku Klux Klan during a Duke University appearance. Additionally, a fan approached him in the past for a selfie, asked him to say the phrase, to which Seinfeld replied, "I don't care about Palestine."

The interaction occurred on June 10 at Madison Square Garden in New York, right after the NBA finals between the Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. Seinfeld's reaction to the streamer sparked anger among pro-Palestine activists.
A social media user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Imagine stealing something rename it and when asked about it the thief says well it does not exist!"
Another added, "It's incredible how much what happened on October 7 made us despise people for whom we had some liking or respect, like Seinfeld, Shapiro, Rubin, Jordan Peterson, Prager... It revealed how vicious in reality they are."
