A short video of Robert De Niro yelling has gone viral on social media by pro-Israel users claiming that he was yelling at pro-Palestinian activists, while in reality, he was performing a line from an upcoming film, US media revealed on Wednesday.The video, posted to X, depicts De Niro shouting to the crowd, "This is not a movie. This is real. And if you're going to keep talking nonsense, then you gotta go home."
Lifelong Israel supporter
De Niro has previously spoken out in defense of Israel, and had a lifelong friendship with the late Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and the late President Ezer Weizman.During one of his visits to the country, he said "I always enjoy coming to Israel. Israelis are warm, they're energetic people. Forthright. Very smart. I always like smart people. They're nice people, you know. Aggressive, and I respect that aggressiveness because you need it in their situation."
