Jerry Seinfeld is by no means the most political or controversial actor/comedian out there, but when he took the stage at Duke University's commencement ceremony, it ultimately caused a chorus of "boos" and pro-Palestinian chants, as well as a walkout by students.
Seinfeld, who is Jewish, is the parent of two Duke students and an active supporter of the university. He has been vocal in his support for Israel following the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7. His wife also funded a pro-Israel protest at UCLA last week. When Seinfeld was announced as this year's commencement speaker, some students expressed opposition to his appearance over his support of Israel, and warned that there would be a display of opposition at the commencement ceremony.

My Jewish nephew-in-law is a med school grad from Duke… totally secular but i wonder how he thinks about this…. It doesn’t matter if you think you are not Jewish…. THEY still consider you Jewish….
They would have boo’d Biden, they would have boo’d Hillary Clinton, they would have boo’d anyone - they had their orders to boo - who - ever. The Marxists should enjoy their moment because normal Americans are finally sick of them.
Newman!
Jerry is and has always been superb.
“For me, the Graduation must be Jerry-free.”
David is a far leftist.
Seinfeld is very respected in comic circles look at how they respond to him in Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. He loves the craft and has been a student since he started. Now he is like the senior spokesman.
His statements about woke are right on and needed to be said. And now the left sees him as dangerous and to be targeted, i wouldn’t be surprised if Seinfeld in liberal, but he is spot on about woke and what has happened to contemporary comedy. Chappelle and Seinfeld are carrying the torch.

People can become pro-Hamas as a result of their emotions being manipulated in just the right way.
Just watched very funny.
These Suffs will quickly become unemployable if they think this kind of insubordinate behavior will be tolerated in the workplace.

I assume it means Who Gives A S...
People can oppose specific actions of the state of Israel without being “antisemites”.
Which is only valid if they oppose the specific actions to which the state of Israel is responding. Most of the free Palestine morons approve of the October 7th assault.
Non sequitur, pal.
BWAHAAA!
