Comedian Jerry Seinfeld, known for his iconic sitcom “Seinfeld” just gave a speech at Duke University’s commencement ceremony, but it didn’t go as smoothly as planned.
As Seinfeld took the stage, dozens of students decided to walk out in protest. The reason? Seinfeld has been a vocal supporter of Israel throughout the war in Gaza. Some of these students even chanted “free Palestine” as they left the ceremony.
Now, this may seem like a surprising reaction to a comedian speaking at a graduation ceremony, but it highlights the intense debate and division surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Seinfeld’s support for Israel has drawn criticism from those who believe that the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza have been unjust.
Regardless of your personal opinions on the conflict, it’s clear that this is an issue that evokes strong emotions from people around the world. And it’s not uncommon for celebrities to find themselves in the crosshairs of controversy when they take a public stance on political or social issues.
Seinfeld is not the only celebrity to face backlash for their support of Israel. Other well-known figures, including musicians and actors, have also faced criticism for their views.
It’s important to remember that everyone has the right to hold their own opinions and to express them freely. However, it’s equally important to approach these issues with empathy and respect for differing points of view.
