Dozens of students at Duke University walked out on legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld’s commencement speech on Sunday, with some chanting "free Palestine," according to videos of the ceremony posted on social media.
The student protesters staged the walkout just as Seinfeld, who is Jewish and a vocal supporter of Israel, was introduced, according to the videos.
Some students carried Palestinian flags as they left the stadium. Other graduates and guests chanted "Jerry! Jerry!" as the comedian took the stage to receive an honorary degree.
Seinfeld delivered his speech without major interruptions, Reuters reported.
The "Seinfeld" star opened his speech with some jokes before telling graduates his "three real keys to life," which are work hard, pay attention and fall in love, according to WRAL-TV.
"Whatever you're doing, I don't care if it's your job, your hobby, a relationship, getting a reservation at M Sushi," the comedian said. "Make an effort. Just pure, stupid, no-real-idea-what-I'm-doing-here effort. Effort always yields a positive value, even if the outcome of the effort is absolute failure of the desired result. This is a rule of life. Just swing the bat and pray is not a bad approach to a lot of things."

Less all the divisive ‘free Pail-is-stained’ crap I’m kinda liking the advice about living from Jerry Seinfeld.
Rebels without a clue.
Dozens get their names and put them on the do not hire list
I made a gesture to my family at a Mass when the substitute priest told us that God didn’t care about the 6th Commandment (adultery). We all filed out together and went to the 5PM inPhenix City.
my girlfriend and I alsowalked out of “The Fugutive” when we heard one profanity too many.
Well, no. They had fun doing this. It was the highlight for them. In their own minds, this was a heroic, revolutionary act. One they'll reminisce about for decades to come.
"You know, it back about, oh ... the year was '24. That was the year I struck a major blow against racism. Let me tell you young 'uns about way back when I was set to graduate Duke University...
That was in the late 1970s or 1980s? It was very big news at the time.
Until it comes back to bite them in the arse, and it will eventually, one way or another.
It was two gangs of losers who were out to kill each other. And that's it.
What? was it like 3 dozens?
No after Commencement Party Soup for you!
He should return his honorary degree and demand that Duke clean ups it act and start suspending and rejecting anti-Semitic students for their racist and violent views. People who support terrorism and jew hatred do not deserve degrees. What they deserve is deportation to that squatter territory referred to as the GAZA strip.
If you truly support Palestinian squatter’s and Hamas? Then go live with them.
I can’t seem to find the nation called Palestine on the map of the Middle east
Wilmington, North Carolina is where it happened.

I hear you! Terrible movie:
That’s incredible a priest would say that! My mom wanted to walkout of Mass a couple of times (nothing like your experience!) but I don’t think she actually did.
Once was when the priest suggested you take a homeless person into your home, and if btw the homeless person didn’t like smoking you should smoke outside to accommodate them. And this was decades before woke!
Note: Cone Mills already had a union.
1979 at Morningside Homes in Greensboro I believe. The person that brought the Klan and prevented them from leaving was an FBI informant.
He converted for the jokes.
Then he became a chemistry teacher.
