An anti-Israel protester heckles legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
That would be something to see.
After all, Seinfeld has been in the game a long time and no doubt has an arsenal of zingers to put a heckler in place.
So what did he do when a heckler started spouting pro-Palestinian slogans during his standup gig Saturday in Norfolk, Virginia?
Very little.
Because the crowd, risking missing out on Seinfeld’s humor, was itself not amused.
Big-time.
As seen in a video shared on Instagram by Hampton Roads for Palestine, the comedian was doing his thing at a sold-out Chrysler Hall when a protester shouted, “Save the children of Gaza! No more American tax dollars for genocide!”
The crowd wasn't going to take this.
“Shut up!” an audience member hollered at the protester. “Shut up and get out!”
The crowd's anger grew when a demonstrator shouted that Seinfeld was "a genocide supporter."
"You should be ashamed of yourself!" the protester said. "You should all be ashamed of yourselves!"
The comedian was sarcastically unflappable as the audience booed those trying to disrupt the show.
“I think your message is resonating with the crowd,” Seinfeld said. “People seem to be on your side.”
Right in front of the camera, someone grabbed a protester. “Hey, hey,” a man said. “Let go of him!”
The comedian took it all in.
“This is exciting," he said. "I like this. I like it when the Jew-haters spice up the show.”
