Caitlyn Jenner confronted anti-Israel protestors outside the White House Correspondents' dinner on Saturday accusing them of 'vitriolic antisemitism'.
The former Olympian approached the group on her way to the dinner in Washington D.C.
Recording the interaction on her phone, she stopped to challenge them, saying '100 million Jews' before flipping off the crowd on her way into the venue.
Sharing the video on Sunday, she said she was 'mobbed and harassed' and wrote: 'Shame on the hundreds of Terrorist sympathizers and the Hamas lovers outside last nights #WHCD that were far from peaceful.'
The protestors are demanding a ceasefire and wanted journalists to boycott the dinner in protest of the government's support of Israel.

Sharing the video on Sunday, she said she was 'mobbed and harassed'
In the video, Jenner walks through the crowd, stopping to talk to one protestor and asking 'what is your name?'
The crowd shouts back 'Free Palestine' as she walks away, turning back to film the crowd before police usher her away and into the venue.
Police then hold the crowd back as one person shouts after her 'you're so old, just please go home'.
Sharing the video and a photo of herself flipping of the crowd, Jenner wrote: 'There is no place for you or your vitriolic antisemitism in this country.
'Get the hell out - we don’t tolerate terrorism here.'
She then shared a photo of her manager Sophia Hutchins also flipping off the crowd.
She added: 'After my manager, Sophia Hutchins, and I were mobbed and harassed by Hamas terrorist sympathizers on our way into #WHCD she had a very similar message for them.
'Surround yourself with a team of fighters - it’s the only way!' and called for Donald Trump to be re-elected.
Shame on the hundreds of Terrorist sympathizers and the Hamas lovers outside last nights #WHCD that were far from peaceful.

They were attending the annual White House correspondents' dinner.
The protests forced Biden's motorcade to take a different route from the White House to the Hilton.
At one point, the crowd of over 100 people chanted: 'Western media we see you, and all the horrors that you hide.'
President Joe Biden did not mention the war in Gaza in his speech and instead delivered an election year roast making fun of his age and firing barbs at Donald Trump.
'It's been a year since I delivered the speech and my wife, Jill told me she was worried how I'd do,' Biden began.
'I told her, "Don't worry. It's just like riding the bike" She said that's what I'm worried about,' Biden joked, in a reference to him falling off his bike two years ago during a summer vacation in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Biden, 81, wasted no time in getting to this November's election which sees the two oldest candidates running in American history. Trump will be 78 by the time election day rolls around.
'Course the 2024 elections in full swing and yes age is an issue,' Biden said. 'I'm a grown man and I'm running against a six-year-old!'

A growing movement against the war in Gaza has dogged Biden this year including at a $250-per-ticket March fundraiser at New York's Radio City Music Hall, where protesters disrupted the event for the U.S. handling of the crisis in Gaza.
Demonstrators holding banners chanted about journalist deaths in Gaza outside the Washington Hilton, the site of the annual gathering.
Hundreds of protesters encouraged journalists to boycott the event and shouted down administration officials as they entered.
Biden avoided the large protests at the front of the hotel by arriving through a back entrance, where he was greeted by smaller groups of protesters calling for a ceasefire.
Kelly O'Donnell, president of the White House Correspondents' Association, declined to comment on security measures for the dinner.
'The safety and security of our protectees is the U.S. Secret Service's top priority,' said U.S. Secret Service spokesperson Alexi Worley, who declined to comment further.
Israel's six-month old war against Hamas in Gaza, in response to the Oct. 7 attack by the militant group in southern Israel, has killed more than 34,000 people, Palestinian health authorities say, and caused a humanitarian disaster for the enclave's more than 2 million inhabitants.
The Hamas attack killed 1,200 people in Israel, and led to 253 taken hostage, according to Israeli tallies.
The White House Correspondents Association was founded in 1914 and has held a dinner nearly every year since 1921 to celebrate the reporters who cover the presidency and raise money for scholarships.
