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.
Dozens of students have walked out on Jerry Seinfeld 's Duke University commencement speech while flying the Palestinian flag, in protest at his support for Israel during the Gaza war.
While Seinfeld appeared to receive support from the majority of the crowd, once the cheers eased up, several boos and shouts of “Free Palestine,” could be heard erupting through. The comedian also met with families of the hostages and visited a kibbutz destroyed by the terror attack during a trip to Israel in December.
“This is the golden path to victory in life. Work. Exercise. Relationships,” he added.” They all have a solid component of pure torture, and they are all 1,000% worth it.”The walkout was the only disruption to the commencement ceremony, with no other incident taking place during or after Seinfeld’s speech.
