Alec Baldwin had a face-off with anti-Israel protestors during a demonstration. The incident took place on Monday, December 18, when hundreds of agitators gathered at Penn Station and Grand Central Station told Israel to ‘go to hell’. 

Protestors slammed Baldwin’s ‘tanking’ career and accused him of supporting Israel. NYPD officers helped escort Baldwin. 

“Shut your f—kig mouth, you have no f—king shame,” one man shouted back at Baldwin. He was asked if he condemned Israel, Baldwin said “No, I support peace for Gaza” after which the man shouted “Go f— yourself.” 

“You ask stupid questions,” Baldwin told one of the protestors. “Ask me a smart question, and I’ll answer your question.” 

Baldwin escaped the scene by getting through a door. ''Your career’s tanking by the way,” the man shouted as the door closed behind Baldwin.

A source close to the actor told The Messenger that the protestors approached Baldwin ‘aggressively.’ “Alec was on his way to volunteer to teach an acting class. He had no intention of going to the protest and was not involved in any way,” the source shared.  

“He was approached aggressively and repeatedly. The police stepped in to avoid further confrontation so he could make his way to the class safely.” 

As the video of the entire incident was shared on X, many people came in support of the actor and called the episode ‘harassment.’
