Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Robert De Niro confronted Pro-Hamas protesters during film set in NYC.
De Niro said, “They said they want to do October 7 again. You don’t want that.”
On Tuesday, actor Robert De Niro was filmed allegedly confronting a group of pro-Palestinan demonstrators on the set of his new film ‘Zero Day’ in uptown Manhattan.
The video, posted to X, depicts De Niro shouting to the crowd, “This is not a movie. This is real.”
He continued, “And if you’re going to keep talking nonsense, then you gotta go home.”
However, according to actress Mozhan Navabi (neé Marno), known for her roles in House of Cards and The Blacklist, and who will appear in Zero Day alongside De Niro, Angela Bassett and Jesse Plemmons (who is also visible in the clip), the video was a speech she recognized from the upcoming limited series.
As De Niro has previously expressed support for Israel, activists were all too excited to interpret the words as shouting down pro-Palestine supporters. The video was shared widely with the caption, “Robert De Niro Stands With Israel!” and pro-Israel voices on X praised him for going after “pro-terrorism supporters” and “standing up to the Hamas supporting rabble protesting.”
Representatives for De Niro did not immediately respond to The Daily Beast’s requests for clarification.
