Award-winning filmmaker Quentin Tarantino was harassed by an anti-Israel mob recently, while dining at a New York city restaurant.

On Saturday, internet personality “Crackhead Barney,” a New York-based performance artist, uploaded footage of the encounter.

Crackhead Barney’s real name and personal details are unknown.

During the incident, Crackhead Barney can be heard leading chants of “Free Palestine” while confronting Tarantino as he ate at the Che Li restaurant.

Without explanation for her comments, Crackhead Barney asked the filmmaker rhetorically: “Quentin Tarantino, why are you a Zionist piece of shit?”

“Going to Israel?” she continued. “Tarantino, say, ‘N*gger’.”

As he left the eatery, Crackhead Barney and other members of the mob stuck their feet on Tarantino’s limousine, shouting “Toes, toes, toes.”

Tarantino, 61, is married to Daniella Pick, 40, daughter of Israeli singer Svika Pick.

An outspoken supporter of the Jewish state, Tarantino has visited Israel multiple times, including a surprise solidarity visit to southern Israel just days after the October 7th invasion of southwestern Israel.

“I love the country, and the people are really nice, very nice to me, and they seem excited that I’m here,” Tarantino said of Israel during a 2021 interview with comedian Bill Maher.

This is not the first time Crackhead Barney has expressed anti-Israel sentiments while targeting celebrities.

In April, she confronted actor Alec Baldwin at a New York coffee shop, demanding he say the phrase: “Free Palestine.”

“‘Free Palestine, Alec, just one time and I’ll leave you alone. I’ll leave you alone, I swear, just say free Palestine one time,’” she said.

In 2021, Crackhead Barney blasted Andrew Giuliani, son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, over his support for Israel.

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has become a father for the first time as his Israeli wife Daniella Pick gave birth to a baby boy Saturday in Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital, according to a Pnai Plus magazine report.

Tarantino, 56, who is not Jewish, married Pick, 36, in 2018 in a Reform Jewish ceremony after an eight-year on and off relationship. She is the daughter of one of Israel’s most famous musicians and composers, Tsvika Pick, and is a singer in her own right.

She has a prolific following on Instagram as a model and received a minor part in her husband’s latest movie, “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood.”

The 2019 film won the Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice awards for best motion picture in January, with Tarantino taking home first prize from both for the original screenplay. When he stood at the podium with his statuette at the Golden Globes ceremony, he thanked his wife, saying, “Toda, geveret [Thank you, madam in Hebrew], I love you.”

The couple have rented an apartment in one of the most upscale neighborhoods in the country, Ramat Aviv Gimmel. In an interview with Yediot Ahronot last month, he said he loved being in Israel and that the security situation did not bother him.

“Really, my life here is so wonderful,” he said, adding, “I love the country and the people are really nice, very nice to me, and they seem excited that I’m here.”

When asked about the rocket threat from Gaza, he said, “I’m not scared at all. Like everyone else here, I don’t really notice it.”

The filmmaker admitted at the time that his Hebrew is not yet up to snuff, but the upcoming birth would encourage him to take the language more seriously.

“Obviously, I’m going to learn. I don’t want my boy or girl to speak a language I can’t understand,” he said.

Tarantino has spoken often of retiring after making one more movie, so that he has an even 10 in his repertoire, although he would continue to write screenplays and TV series.

Legendary filmmaker and screenwriter Quentin Tarantino made sure to give a shout-out in Hebrew to his Israeli wife after winning the Best Screenplay category for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood at the 77th annual Golden Globes Awards on Sunday.

“I want to thank you so much and my wife who’s watching from Tel Aviv, who’s pregnant with my very first child. Toda, geveret [Thank you, madam in Hebrew], I love you,” Tarantino said.

Shortly afterward Daniella Pick posted a photo of Tarantino on her Instagram account and wrote, “Overjoyed and so proud of my husband (also for his Hebrew!) @onceinhollywood”

Pick starred in a minor role in Tarantino’s winning film as Daphna Ben-Cobo, a character seen alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.

Tarantino, 56, and Pick, 35, were first introduced to one another in 2009 when the director was promoting his film “Inglourious Basterds” in Israel.

For eight years the two dated on and off, and in June 2017 the couple was engaged.

Tarantino, who is not Jewish, and Pick were married by a Reform rabbi in Nov. 2018,  and in August, the two announced that they are expecting their first child.

In November, they leased an 80,000 shekel per month, two-floor, 500-square-meter house in northern Tel Aviv.

According to Ynet, the two attended a Chanukah kids show in Tel Aviv featuring Tarantino’s father-in-law, Israeli musician Tsvika Pick.

Tarantino has been on the record many times saying that he plans on retiring after making a 10th movie.

It seems like he is sticking to the plan, as he told Deadline backstage, “The whole idea is to live and want more; the old vaudevillian way of going out. I look at the idea of a ten-film filmography where I spent the last 30 years where I gave everything that I had — then dropping the mic. I’ll write plays, write TV, but the filmography will stand.”

Meanwhile, Jewish director Sam Mendes took home a Golden Globe for Best Director for the epic World War I drama “1917.”

“I’d like to dedicate this to my grandfather. He signed up for the First World War. He was age 17. And I hope he’s looking down on us. And I fervently hope it never, ever happens again. Thank you very much,” Mendes said during his acceptance speech.
