Comedian Jerry Seinfeld went viral on Wednesday night as the New York Mets defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Division Series at Citi Field.
The video showed a fan asking Seinfeld to send a message to his brother who is in Israel watching the Mets game from the Gaza border. Seinfeld raised his fist in solidarity and offered a three-word message.

“Let’s go IDF,” he said.
Jewish Breaking News first posted the interaction on its Instagram account.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are locked in a battle with Hamas and Hezbollah and have been since Hamas terrorists launched a sadistic attack in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. As Hezbollah fired rockets from Lebanon into Israel, the IDF has also responded against the regime.
Seinfeld, who is Jewish, was among a number of Hollywood stars to condemn colleagues for hesitating to call out Hamas’ attacks on Israel, as well as the noticeable rise in antisemitism that followed.

Days after the massacre, he declared, “I will always stand with Israel and the Jewish people.”
The comedian traveled to Israel to witness the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attack and meet with families of the hostages taken by Hamas.
He also shut down multiple anti-Israel patrons who had been heckling him at his comedy shows – in the United States and abroad.
