'Wouldn't be surprised': Left-wing activists claim to boycott Jerry Seinfeld

Journalist Sophie Elsworth says she “wouldn’t be surprised” if left-wing activists went ahead with claims they are going to boycott American actor Jerry Seinfeld’s programmes following his visit to Israel. The Jewish-American star landed in Israel on Monday with his wife and children, meeting families of Israeli hostages still held in Gaza, as well as some of the recently released hostages in a show of solidarity with the country’s fight against Hamas. “Nothing would surprise me in this world of activism,” Ms Elsworth told Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi. “Jerry Seinfeld is very vanilla, he’s not an offensive character, so let’s wait and see. “I wouldn’t be surprised, going on how these activists do operate.”
