Alec Baldwin popped up at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in NYC — and blew a gasket at an anti-Israel protester, prompting police to whisk away the actor earlier than the scenario escalated.
Baldwin received right into a heated back-and-forth with the person at Monday evening’s march in Manhattan, which was organized by a Palestinian-led neighborhood group, Inside Our Lifetime. It wasn’t clear if Baldwin was a part of the protest or simply passing by.
Try the video shot by NBC … Baldwin affords a stern look to the person who mentions one thing about Hollywood — and condemning Israel for the conflict within the Gaza Strip.
Baldwin responds, “You’ve got already received your thoughts made up. I am in Hollywood?
The person repeatedly asks, “Is that your reply?
Baldwin shouts, “You ask silly questions! Ask me a sensible query!”
The person begins screaming once more about condemning Israel.
That is when Baldwin fully loses his s**t, getting within the man’s face and yelling, “Ask me a sensible query!!!!”
Fortunately, NYPD officers have been proper there to escort Baldwin away earlier than issues doubtlessly turned violent.
Different movies present Baldwin protected by cops as he will get heckled by protesters who’re cursing at him. At one level, Baldwin turns to the demonstrators and says, “You are actually serving to your trigger.”
As you already know, Israel has been at conflict with Hamas since October — and hundreds of individuals have died on either side.
Hamas militants — who govern the Palestinians within the Gaza Strip – triggered the battle after invading Israel, killing 1,400 residents.
The battle has spawned passionate calls from individuals everywhere in the world to finish the violence.
