Dave Chappelle criticized Israel's bombing of Gaza at a performance in Boston in which the comedian accused the U.S. of aiding the slaughter of innocent civilians. In the show at TD Garden on Thursday, Chappelle first condemned the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas militants, but criticized what he said were war crimes in Gaza, according to people in attendance.
The comments came up when Chappelle said he didn't think students should lose job offers for supporting Palestinians. An audience member's command for the comedian to shut up drew an emotional response from Chappelle, who criticized the Israeli government for cutting off water and other essentials to Gaza and accused it of killing innocent people, according to the attendees.
Some audience members cheered Chappelle on and shouted "Free Palestine,” while others yelled, "What about Hamas," the attendees said. Some in the crowd got up and left. Toward the conclusion of his show, he said of Israeli policies and the Hamas attacks that two wrongs don't make a right, the people said.
A spokeswoman for Chappelle said he "denies being in Boston last night."

Figures. It explains a lot actually.
worst comparison ever
Chapelle is funny, but he often gets the facts wrong. He’s not a reliable source for the news.
he should do some really funny routines about beheaded babies
who wouldnt laugh about that?
Chappelle is Muslim.
“ Isn’t he a Muslim?”
Yes.
Only meant it sarcastically.
For them, no atrocity is too great to serve the worthy cause of getting people to listen to whatever latest idiocy comes out of their mouths.
You can just see the glee in their eyes when the most horrific things happen because this means they get more attention.
(Them=The Squad, not Chappelle)
We’re being too passive. The West had lost its will to live. No worries. We will be replaced by the Islamic Civilization, especially in Europe. Here in the United States, hopefully it will be the Latino Civilization. At least, they’ll stand up to the Muslims. It’s not looking good for Canada. It’s already 5% Muslim now.

“Fuel/air bombs would suffocate them, suck all the oxygen from the tunnels.”
Won’t work. There’s an estimated 300 miles of tunnels in Gaza and they are regularly vented.
War Tunnels are IMPOSSIBLE to defeat

Chappelle is a good, with flashes of great, comedian. Here’s the problem he created for himself. He probably knew it’s “too soon” for jokes about this war so instead of avoiding the topic,he tried to make serious, political statements about it. In the middle of a comedy show. Like an intermission of war. it doesn’t work.
He’s a muslim convert,and apparently unable to acknowledge how wrong Hamas is, how vile their actions. I expect there were some unhappy Jews in the audience. They came to laugh, to get away for a minute and yet the war followed them there. Big mistake. I would have left the show.
Usually he has good instincts.
and demanded a refund ...
As he’s a Muslim it’s not entirely unexpected.

“Maybe he’s an apostate Muslim.”
Well with that performance he seems to be covering all bets.
CC
He’s Muslim
He’s black.
No surprise.
“I wouldn’t call Maher a comedian.”
Hubby and I watched a stand-up special Maher had on whatever cable channel it was. Filthy and not that funny.
He’s def. better at the commentary/general chat stuff.
Chappele’s officially an @$$ ho.
He came close to being murdered on stage in 2022. The guy who tried was beat up by his security. The guy who attack had his arm twisted so his elbow bent forwardwards. See video.

I wonder if Dave thought two wrongs don’t make a right then?
