A newly released video showed a pro-Palestinian activist relentlessly heckling Alec Baldwin by demanding he say “free Palestine.”
The video was posted online by a woman that reportedly hosts a show on social media called “Crackhead Barney & Friends,” according to Fox News. The woman is seemingly known for her ambush-style videos, and she was definitely determined to get her message to Baldwin. She approached him as he was talking on the phone at the cash register at a New York coffee shop called Maman, and demanded that he repeat her pro-Palestinian rant. “Alec, can you please say ‘Free Palestine’ one time?” she said.
She then took the conversation in a different direction by bringing up the death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of his movie, “Rust.” “Why did you kill that lady? You killed that lady and got no jail time,” the lady said.

The woman kept egging the famous actor on and showed no signs of stopping. The video showed Baldwin speaking on the phone with someone when she first approached him, yet that didn’t stop her from loudly targeting the star.
“Free Palestine, Alec, just one time, and I’ll leave you alone,” she said.
“I’ll leave you alone, I swear. Just say ‘Free Palestine’ one time. One time,” the woman shouted, as she got closer and closer to the famous actor.

Baldwin shook his head ‘no,’ but the woman continued.
Baldwin made a move toward the exit, and held the door open for the woman, motioning for her to depart. A coffee shop worker attempted to stop the woman from harassing the star to no avail, at which time he asked the worker to phone the police for assistance.

“You know he’s a criminal, you know he’s a fucking criminal,” she yelled out.
