On April 29, American actor and current review blogger Walter Masterson came to Columbia University in the United States, wearing a "Star Wars" movie character hat, standing in the middle of the road to read the movie plot to protesters who support Palestine and Israel.
However, his few words quickly angered the protesters, who jumped over the railing and threw punches at him and smashed his helmet.
According to previous reports, Walter is a political influencer known for his political satire and street interview style, and his fame in the United States is to pretend that Trump supporters visit "Trump merchandise stores", and then prove to the audience that the former president, who claims to boycott Chinese goods, sells almost all of the "Made in China" in his store.

On April 29, in response to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the protests against Israel by major American universities, Walter "lived" again.
According to a video released by Walter, he was standing in the middle of the road, in front of him and behind him were pro-Palestinian and Israeli protesters. Walter held up a piece of paper with "The Empire did nothing wrong" and shouted at the people around him: "I'm going to promote Star Wars to everyone", "The Galactic Empire didn't do anything bad, Audran was blown up by Governor Tagkin, the rebels kidnapped children, and the Mandalorian used little Yoda as a meat shield!"

Since the plot of "Star Wars" became a household name in the United States, Walt's words were quickly heard by those present to have other meanings. In the movie, the "Galactic Empire" is a powerful and aggressive evil group, they often send troops to suppress and slaughter weak groups, and Walter's dress is the image of the soldiers of the "Galactic Empire" troops in the movie.
Although Walter specifically emphasized that he was telling the plot of the movie, supporters of Israel soon sensed that Walter had "something to say," and then a funny scene ensued.
An emotional supporter of Israel ripped off Walter's helmet, and another stepped forward to tear it off, many of whom pushed and scolded Walter. It was only with the intervention of the local police that Walter was able to get out of trouble.
When asked what Walter was doing here, Walter's response was full of joy:
Walter: "I'm here to promote Star Wars, and if you're interested, I can give you an introduction from the first episode. ”
Bystander: "Do you know what people are protesting about?"
Walter feigned surprise and said, "Oh, what's the issue? Israel? I don't understand." ”
However, according to netizens, Walter obviously "pretended not to understand", because his personal social media account has repeatedly published online posts condemning Israel, and in a number of retweets of the video, he condemned Israel for not using violent means to destroy Palestinian homes and personal property.
There were many American netizens who sympathized with Walter's plight, but many more people were discussing Walter's idea for the show, with some saying, "Why are these people in a hurry? Do they hate Star Wars so much?" and someone else said, "I'm not a Star Wars fan, but I think you have the right to discuss the movie." ”
And "Star Wars" fans expressed "dissatisfaction" with Walter: "What? You want to tell people from the first episode? Is this what adults do? Why don't you start with the prequel plot of the fourth episode?"
