Alec Baldwin was booed by anti-Israel protesters on Monday evening after hundreds of rioters flooded Penn Station and Grand Central Station during a fiery demonstration where they told Israel to “go to hell.”
The angry “30 Rock” star lashed out at protesters who told him he had “no shame” and downplayed his “tanking” career as hundreds descended on the Big Apple’s main transit hub during protests against Israel’s military campaign in Gaza against Hamas.
Baldwin was walking by the demonstration near West 29th Street when protesters spotted him and ran toward him, accusing him of supporting Israel.
NYPD officers had to escort the actor. Baldwin had no problem yelling back at them but was quickly met with angry protesters.
“Shut up king, you have no shame king,” a man yelled back at Baldwin.
When he was asked if he condemned Israel, Baldwin replied, “No, I support peace for Gaza.”
“Go alone,” shouted the man.
“You’re asking a stupid question,” Baldwin was heard telling one of the berserkers. “Ask me a smart question, and I’ll answer yours.”

The confrontation ended when Baldwin made it through the door he was waiting in front of.
“Your career is on the wane,” shouted the man as the door closed.
A source close to Baldwin told The Messenger that the Emmy Award winner was “aggressively” approached while trying to volunteer her skills.
“Alec is on his way to volunteer to teach acting classes. He had no intention of going to the protest and was not involved in any way,” the source said. “He was approached aggressively and repeatedly. The police acted to avoid further confrontation so that he could go to class safely.”
The shuttle came shortly after protesters made their way to Moynihan Train Hall in Penn Station. Police initially thwarted their efforts to enter by erecting barricades around the entrance to the massive train station. Even genuine riders are turned away from some entrances.
As protesters circled outside Moynihan, an organizer urged their fellow protesters to “find a way in” and said, “We’ve got to get over these pigs” before hordes of protesters rushed into the train hall.

They chanted “truce now” as they ran through the halls.

Donna Pritchard, of Utica, said while she was worried about not hearing when the train arrived, the protest didn’t bother her.
“As long as it’s safe I’m fine. I have a 4 hour delay on my train, so I have nothing better to do. As long as it’s safe, I’m fine.” Pritchard, 63, said.
After waving Palestinian flags and demonstrating in the center of the hall, protesters returned to the street where at least one man was arrested at the corner of West 29th Street and 7th Avenue.
It is unclear what led to the arrest.
Before protesters entered Penn, Nerdeen Kiswani, organizer of the Within Our Lifetime protest, encouraged protesters to voice their support for Palestine on the city’s subway system.
“On the subway, we can make noise, we can be loud – you never know who you’re going to teach that day,” he said.
“Any chance we get, whether it’s underground, on the ground, at a protest, on a train, wherever we are, we’re going to make it known that genocide is being committed with US-made weapons paid for with our tax dollars. .”

Earlier in the day, protesters entered the main concourse at Grand Central Station chanting support for the Palestinians, according to NBC 4.

The Metro-North Railroad and the Long Island Railroad both warned of “possible access restrictions” in and out of Grand Central because of the demonstrations. The city’s emergency notification system also advised people to expect traffic delays near Grand Central and to use alternate routes.

Between rallies at Grand Central and Penn, protesters briefly descended outside the Port Authority Bus Terminal in the middle of 42nd Street.
“The US loves genocide” and “Zionism is terrorism,” were among the signs held as protesters shouted, “Israel, go to hell” and “Joe Biden, what are you saying? How many children are you killing today ?”
Pro-Palestinian protests have rocked Gotham for the past two months since Hamas terrorists killed 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped more than 200, prompting the Jewish state to launch a military offensive in Gaza.
Nearly 20,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to Gaza’s Hamas-backed Ministry of Health.
