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.

He’s a moslim. What else would he say?
I’m sure more people have died in the Ukraine but no one seems to care, I guess because they are White.
I admire Dave Chappelle for his defense of free speech. But he converted to Islam. And there are few people more willfully blind than a Muslim convert.
So keep on fighting the free speech fight, Dave. But otherwise just stick to trying to make us laugh, okay?
How are Jews any less safe in America than the rest of us?
Jews aren’t killing those people, so...
What about the Rohingya and the Ugyurs?
The smartest people always get their info and opinions from foul-mouthed comedians.
Uh oh. He was doing great for a while. I didn’t know he was a muslim. That bias had to come out eventually, and there it is. Shame.
He may be antisemitic but he'll stand up against the Left on other crap (as long as it's not related to Israel).
Seinfeld disagrees.
Israel evacuated one million citizens.
From what I’ve seen Palestinians mostly don’t like black people.
What the hell does this guy call what the Palestinians did?
Also, this isn't Stormfront. Maybe you should go there with your leftist pals.
So, you hate the U.S. Army, what else is new?
