Jerry Seinfeld tells Kick streamer that Palestine “doesn’t exist”
Jerry Seinfeld told a prominent Kick streamer that Palestine “doesn’t exist” in a video that has since circulated on social media.
The incident, which was broadcast live on the streaming platform and later clipped up across on sites such as X, occurred outside Madison Square Garden on June 10th.
Seinfeld had been attendance to watch the New York Knicks clutched victory from the jaws of defeat against the San Antonio Spurs.
After leaving the arena, Seinfeld was approached by the Kick streamer FinesseFave, who said to him, “What up, Seinfeld. Can we get a free Palestine?”
In response, the comedian initially laughs before adding, “It doesn’t exist”.
Seinfeld, who is a vocal supporter of Israel, has previously had similar interactions with online personalities who have seen him out in public, telling Subway DJ in February 2025, “I don’t care about Palestine.”
Additionally, last September, Seinfeld condemned the Free Palestine movement while making a surprise appearance at Duke University.
The Duke University Chronicle reported that Seinfeld said on stage, “Free Palestine is, to me, just … you’re free to say you don’t like Jews. Just say you don’t like Jews.”
Seinfeld continued, “By saying ‘Free Palestine’, you’re not admitting what you really think. So it’s actually – compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here, because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews.’ OK, that’s honest.”
Following the October 7th attack, Seinfeld wrote on Instagram, “I lived and worked on a Kibbutz in Israel when I was 16, and I have loved our Jewish homeland ever since,” adding, “We survive and flourish no matter what. I will always stand with Israel and the Jewish people.”
Furthermore, in April 2024, he reiterated his pro-Israel stance in an interview, stating, “I don’t preach about it. I have my personal feelings about it that I discuss privately.” He continued, “It’s not part of what I can do comedically, but my feelings are very strong.”
