Activist demands Alec Baldwin say ‘Free Palestine, F**k Israel,’ taunts him over set death until he hits her phone
Video shows actor Alec Baldwin confronted at a New York coffee shop by an anti-Israel protester, who repeatedly demands that he say “Free Palestine.”
The woman also taunts the Hollywood star over his fatal 2021 shooting of a cinematographer with a misfired prop gun while filming the movie “Rust.”
The actor eventually knocks the camera out of the individual’s hand.
“Alec can you please say ‘Free Palestine’ one time?” the woman asks as Baldwin stands in the coffee shop, apparently talking on the phone. “Why did you kill that lady? You killed that lady and got no jail time?”
“Free Palestine, Alec, just one time, and I’ll leave you alone,” she said. “I’ll leave you alone, I swear.”
Baldwin moves toward the coffee shop door and appears to suggest an employee call the police.
“You know he’s a fucking criminal,” the woman says.
“Just say ‘Free Palestine’ one time, one time,” she says.
“Fuck Israel, fuck Zionism,” please say it,” she says, before Baldwin knocks the camera out of her hand.
Last December, Baldwin was also confronted by anti-Israel protesters, who demanded to know if Baldwin condemned Israel for “the actions they’ve committed against Gazan children,” given he “work[s] for Hollywood,” evoking an antisemitic trope by implying that the filmmaking powerhouse is in cahoots with a shadowy Jewish lobby.
