According to Internet users, these words would be directed at pro-Palestinian protesters who seek to “stain the name of Israel.”
These are messages that are spread in the midst of opposition to the war in Gaza in the United States, which has unleashed a student movement in the country not seen for more than 40 years.

Robert de Niro did not yell at pro-Palestinians, it was a rehearsal for a series
After the actor’s video went viral, his publicist Stan Rosenfield assured in statements to the American television network CNN that it was a rehearsal for his new series on the Netflix platform, called “Zero Day.”
Rosenfield clarified that the two-time Oscar winner dedicated himself to “reading lines as written in the script” for one of the scenes.
In addition, a Netflix representative later assured the same network that the video was recorded “during a rehearsal on location” on April 27.
As the project’s producer explained to CNN, De Niro plays a former president in the series who is brought out of retirement to lead a commission in charge of investigating a devastating global cyber attack.
Images from the filming confirm that it is a series and not a real confrontation
Likewise, several images and videos located on the Internet confirm that the recording that was spread was recorded in the context of an audiovisual production.
A video from Splash News, which was shared with the title “Robert De Niro filming on the set of Zero Day in New York”, as well as images of the filming collected on the Getty Images portal, show De Niro with the same group of actors, in the same location and with an identical costume to the one he wears in the viral shot.
Furthermore, one of the actresses in the cast, Mozhan Marno, whose role in the series is still unknown, stated in a publication on the social network X that De Niro’s speech indeed corresponds to one of the scenes in the footage.
Protests continue in the United States
In recent weeks, there have been violent clashes at universities in the United States between groups of pro-Israel protesters and those demanding to stop the war in Gaza, which have already resulted in more than 2,000 people being detained by the police throughout the country.
Recently, the University of California (UCLA) in Los Angeles was forced to cancel its classes after the latest Police intervention on campus.
Likewise, Columbia University was occupied for hours by pro-Palestinian students, so the New York Police had to launch an eviction operation that ended with 282 detainees.
These demonstrations are reminiscent of previous ones in the country, such as those in the 80s against the system of racial segregation in South Africa or even those that occurred in rejection of the Vietnam War in the 60s.
In conclusion, it is not true that the actor Robert De Niro has confronted demonstrators protesting against the war in Gaza, the video that is broadcast shows the rehearsal of a series that will be broadcast on Netflix.
