Award-winning actor Alec Baldwin clashed with pro-Palestine demonstrators last Monday after rallying in Penn Station and Grand Central Station.
The rallyists badgered the actor as he walked near West 29th Street and told him he has “no f—– shame” and mocked his “tanking” career. They darted toward Baldwin and accused him of supporting Israel.
One protester dared him to condemn Israel, “Who’s pockets are you in? You work for Hollywood; do you condemn Israel?”
To which the actor responded, “You’ve already made up your mind to every question you’ve got, right? I’m in Hollywood’s pockets, you said? You ask stupid questions. Ask me a smart question! Ask a smart question!”
At one point, Baldwin turns to the demonstrators and says, “You’re really helping your cause.”
Police officers had to intervene and escort Baldwin away from the crowd.
According to the New York Post, when he was asked if he condemned Israel, Baldwin responded, “No, I support peace for Gaza.”
A source added that Baldwin had “no intention of going to the protest and was not involved in any way. He was approached aggressively and repeatedly. The police stepped in to avoid further confrontation so he could make his way to the class safely.”
A report by the Daily Mail also showed Baldwin, who was trailed by protesters, telling the crowd to “stop crying.”
One of the participants scoffed at him and said, “You did kill someone though, right? You’re a murderer.”
The assailants taunted him over his perceived support for the Jewish state, as well as over his fatal 2021 shooting of a cinematographer with a misfired prop gun while filming the movie “Rust.”
Baldwin was shooting the film in Santa Fe, New Mexico when the prop gun, given to the actor, misfired and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza. No one knew why there was a live bullet inside the gun.
The Emmy winner had long denied any wrongdoing. In April 2023, New Mexico prosecutors dropped manslaughter charges against him when they discovered a malfunction in the gun.
The protest was in line with the ongoing war between the Hamas and Israel. It has been two months since Hamas terrorists attacked Israel, which murdered 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped 240 hostages.
Due to the provocation, Israel responded with airstrikes and a ground invasion in Gaza. According to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, at least 19,000 Palestinians were killed.
There has to be a way to show young Americans that they lack the experience and knowledge to understand much of anything. How could young Americans be taught to so hateful towards Israel. They don’t know “Shit” about the world. Young Americans live in a world where “IGNORANCE IS BLISS!”
