ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — American comedian Dave Chappelle said a “genocide” is striking the Gaza Strip amid the Israel-Hamas war to cheers during his performance in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, while urging Americans to fight antisemitism so Jews don’t feel like they need to be protected by Israel.
Chappelle’s comments come as Abu Dhabi has maintained its diplomatic relations with Israel even as it has increasingly criticized its conduct in the seven-month war.
About halfway through in a wide-ranging comedy set in Abu Dhabi, Chappelle, a Muslim, initially said he had been told by his friends either to discuss the war or not. From the audience, a woman screamed: “Free Palestine!” The crowd cheered.
Chappelle then said the Gaza Strip faces a “genocide." He also said that making Jews safer in America amid rising cases of antisemitism would make them realize they don’t need Israel as an ultimate protector.

Of course, it does not mean that we agree with the terrorist. But obviously he had made a valid point. The West is weak. Christianity is a joke. So you have people in the West who are looking for something that will give them meaning to life.
This is where Islam comes in.
Biden remains popular with the Wealthy Liberal Elite in the Democratic Party (many of them happen to be White).
can you imagine all the people if we were still fighting WW2?
OMG!!! Berlin genocide!!!!!!!!!
morons, I hope someone they know is a victim of terrorism.
AWFUL
If there really was genocide happening here as all these aholes claim, there would be 1-million dead “palestinians” instead of 10,000 or so…..
At least 10 times as many Arabs have died during the Civil War in Syria over the last decade, but not a peep from David Chappelle. What a damned hypocrite! I’m not watching him anymore.
He belongs in Yellow Springs with the rest of them.
