Pro-Palestinian Protests Target Prominent Figures and Institutions

Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside the Landmark Theatre in Syracuse to protest Jerry Seinfeld's stand-up show, accusing him of being "complicit in genocide" due to his support for Israel. They called for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, an end to U.S. aid to Israel, and condemned a resolution declaring anti-Zionism as antisemitism. The protesters chanted outside the theater while police formed a pathway for attendees. Seinfeld had previously expressed support for Israel and condemned Hamas' attacks, prompting criticism from some in the entertainment industry.
