The "Seinfeld" co-creator told the protesters they are "in the same business" as him of getting "people to see things the way we see it," but "the problem is, you're in the wrong place." He compared the protesters sending their message during his show to him performing comedy at a rugby game. "That's not where I belong," he said.
The comedian also joked that the protesters should "go back and tell whoever's running your organization, 'We just gave more money to a Jew.'"

Seinfeld addressed his pro-Palestinian protesters on the "Honestly with Bari Weiss" podcast in May, saying he finds it "so dumb" that he has become politicized.
"I say to (people at my shows), 'I love that these young people, they're trying to get engaged with politics. We have to just correct their aim a little bit,'" he joked. "They don't seem to understand that, as comedians, we really don't control anything."
He added, "They want to express this sincere, intense rage, but again, a little off target."
