Jerry Seinfeld compares Free Palestine movement to the Ku Klux Klan
Daily Mail ^ | 10 Sep 2025 | Adam S Levy

Jerry Seinfeld on Tuesday said he holds the Ku Klux Klan in higher regard than supporters of the Free Palestine movement while at an event to honor people being held hostage in Gaza.

The comic-actor, 71, made the controversial remarks at a Chabad event at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, according to the college's student newspaper, The Duke Chronicle.

Seinfeld broached the uncomfortable topic as he introduced Omer Shem Tov, a one-time Israeli hostage. He said of Free Palestine supporters, 'Just say you don’t like Jews.'

The Brooklyn, New York native explained his point of view at the event, according to the student paper.

'By saying Free Palestine, you're not admitting what you really think,' Seinfeld said. 'So it's actually - compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I'm actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here because they can come right out and say, "We don't like Blacks, we don't like Jews" - OK, that's honest.'

Well, he’d be right. And the Free Palestine movement like the Ku Klux Klan are connected to the Democrats. I hope Jerry has good security.

He ain't wrong.

When you are raping women to death, taking hostages and baking babies.... you are not the good guys. You are not even guys. You are somewhere below slime mold. Because slime mold has a place in the ecosystem. You do not.

If he’s finally gotten around to noticing that the Democrat party hates his race, great.

Although that’s been true for at least 30 years now.

Queers for Palestine.
That one should remain front and center as a towering monument to the stupidity of these people.

Are you suggesting they are Anti-Dentites?

Uh oh, after saying that Jerry needs to beef up his security detail. He can afford it.

We live in a society where truth is derided as “controversial”.

"Every rotten thing in this world is connected to the Democrats."

As President Trump said, "Everything Democrats touch turns to shit."

You know that he canceled a charity event for children, right?

Why did he cancel?

Because Trump was an active member of the same charity.

And Trump had the audacity to demand a birth certificate from Obama.

Jerry is the typical liberal dem who only cares about his own tribal ass.

True.

I teach adult basic education classes at a community college that has a large number of middle easterners in the student body. I sat in on a presentation by the Arab Muslim Student Union on Palestine. The rhetoric they used in regard to Israeli Jews was strikingly similar to that used by neo-Nazi antisemites. They even gentilized Jesus, claiming he was a Palestinian. “Christian Identity” types would approve.

He’s not wrong but it’s nice to see him say it publicly.
