Jerry Seinfeld has been dealing with Palestine activists for months, and the latest interruption came during one of his comedy gigs.
The hecklers shouted something about Palestine that was not clear, but Seinfeld did not rush past it.
Instead, he treated the disruption like part of the act and turned the room against them.
"You're back! They're back!" Seinfeld said. "The protesters are back! I missed you."

From there, he moved into a pointed lesson about audience, timing, and choosing the right place to make a political scene.
The crowd, already booing and complaining about the hecklers, became part of the moment.
"You're not doing well. It's so hard for you. You've gotta ... Let me explain something," he continued.
"You and I are in the same business. We're in the same business. Our business is to get people to see things the way we see it. The problem is, you're in the wrong place."

That was the core of his response. Seinfeld framed the protesters as people trying to sell a message while standing in a room that had come to hear him.
He then pointed to the reaction around him as proof that their stunt had not landed the way they wanted.
The audience was not with them, and Seinfeld made sure they heard it.
"Do you hear how well I'm doing? This is what you want. You want to do well like I am. Look at the people here to hear me. Look at what happened to you," Seinfeld said.
He kept pressing the idea that context matters, especially when someone is trying to force a message into the wrong setting.
To make the point, he compared their protest to him trying to take over a sporting event with a comedy act.
"Because context is very important for your message. For example, if I was going to do my little comedy show that I do, if I went to an Australian Rules rugby game and I told this guy ... if I said to this guy, 'You check out, I'm going to do my comedy act here' I would get that same reaction. I would get kicked out on my a** because that's not where I belong."
Seinfeld also turned the heckling into a money problem for the people interrupting him. His punchline was aimed at the money they had given to a Jew, as he put it.
"Here's the other thing, I think you need to go back and tell whoever's running your organization, 'We just gave more money to a Jew.' That cannot be a good plan for you. That's not what you want. That's the whole problem. You gotta come up with a better plan," he added.
WATCH:
The confrontation was not the first time Seinfeld had been targeted by Palestine activists. In February of last year, while he was in New York for Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary, an activist confronted him.
Seinfeld gave that activist a blunt answer, keeping a straight face while saying that he does not care about Palestine.
The exchange fit the same pattern, with activists trying to push him into their cause and Seinfeld refusing to play along.
They tried again in June, when he was leaving the NBA Championship Finals. One person tried to get him to say "Free Palestine" as he walked away.
Seinfeld answered that attempt with another short dismissal. "It doesn't exist," Seinfeld said, walking away.
WATCH:
Now the same kind of harassment has moved into his gigs, but Seinfeld handled it by doing what comedians have long done best.
He deflated the spectacle, mocked the strategy, and let the audience reaction make the rest of the argument.

The episode also showed why heckling a comedian is a bad plan when the comedian is Jerry Seinfeld.
The activists wanted attention, but he used the interruption to make them look out of place.
For years, comedians have been the ones willing to speak truth to power and puncture swollen egos.
The Palestine nutters who hate Jews and Israel and spend their lives trying to harass both got exactly that treatment here.
Seinfeld did not give them the response they wanted.
He gave them a master class in brushing off the stunt, summed up by the same answer he had already offered before: "It doesn't exist."
