"Nazi scum!" other demonstrators chanted.
"The small crowd of protesters rallied outside the community center that was hosting Weiss, who was giving the 92Y’s annual State of the World Jewry address," The New York Post reported Monday.
"Protesters were critical of Weiss, a strong supporter of Israel, and tried to connect her to the death of Palestinian professor and poet Refaat Alareer, who was killed in Gaza in December in an Israeli airstrike," the report continued.
This is not the first time that Seinfeld has faced verbal harassment from protesters in the wake of the war between Israel and Hamas.

Muslim voters in Michigan, a swing state, have expressed outrage over Biden's ongoing support for Israel, with some even accusing him of enabling genocide.
Arab Americans living in Michigan have traditionally been reliable Democrats, with Biden carrying over 75% of the vote in the Arab-majority city of Dearborn in 2020. That voting bloc is now less reliable, however, with some members of the community launching an "abandon Biden" campaign in protest of his handling of Israel's retaliatory war in Gaza.
