Actor Alec Baldwin was harassed by a pro-Palestinian protester in a cafe in New York, and lost his temper. After she repeatedly begged him to say Free Palestine, he threw away her cell phone. The video was uploaded to the social network X (formerly Twitter) and quickly gained hundreds of thousands of views.

“Alec, please, say it once and I’ll leave you alone. I’ll leave you alone, I swear. Just say it once,” urged the protester. Batila, Baldwin tried to ignore her words, and asked the cafe employee to call the police, to no avail.
She continued, saying: “Fuck Israel, fuck Zionism, please say that.” In addition, she teased the 66-year-old actor, mentioning the serious incident on the set of the movie RUST, during which Baldwin fired an accessory gun unknowingly loaded with a live bullet and killed photographer Lena Hutchins “Why did you kill this woman? You killed this woman and not You served time in prison,” she said.

Just this past December, Baldwin found himself in a confrontation with pro-Palestinian protesters that quickly escalated into a shouting match, when they asked him to condemn Israel and he refused. The incident occurred when he passed near a pro-Palestinian demonstration at the Manhattan train station, where he encountered protesters who recognized him and demanded that he condemn Israel, while cursing him and teasing him about that tragic incident on the set.
The confrontation, which was about a step away from developing into a violent incident, ended when the door that Baldwin was waiting to open opened, while in the background another protester shouted at him to finish: “Your career has failed.”

This incident joins the stormy demonstrations that took place yesterday and overnight at leading universities in the USA. About 50 were arrested at Yale University. The protestors set up tents and waved signs calling for a boycott of Israel, claiming that the Mossad is “funding the massacre in Gaza”. Dozens were also arrested at New York University in a similar protest , and Harvard tried to anticipate a cure for the blow and closed the central extension.
