Dozens of students walked out of Duke University’s commencement ceremony on Sunday to protest guest speaker Jerry Seinfield over his support of Israel during the war in Gaza.

Video of the incident shows a group of students walking out of their seats and carrying a Palestinian flag as soon as the comedian and TV star was called to the stage.

The attention to the protesters was quickly diverted by the cheering crowd, who chanted, “Jerry! Jerry!” as Seinfeld would go on to give his speech and accept an honorary degree from Duke.

Protesters walking out is good. Let them leave the building and leave the normal people to their ceremonies.

I have never found him funny, but I am glad he stood his ground against these a’holes

Seinfeld said years ago he would never again give his shows at Universities because of political-correctness and insane left-wokeism

I guess he learned that includes giving commencement speeches as well.

Dozens? I hope the rest of the students gave them the finger as they left.

They should have booed him for creating a TV show that wasn’t funny.

I sat there eighteen years ago when #1 son graduated with a degree in biomedical engineering. A good time was had by all, but that was before the world really went off the rails.

I understand that Palestinians have been unhappy with their situation for some time, but where were these ubiquitous enraged supporters before October 7, 2023?

Send them to Hamas

Those 'students' appear to be graduating seniors headed off to corporate America.

Not sure why he did that. Unless he decided now that it's time to stand up to antisemitism.
