Dozens of Duke University students walk out of Jerry Seinfeld's commencement speech

Dozens of students walked out of Duke University’s commencement ceremony on Sunday to protest its guest speaker, comedian Jerry Seinfeld, over his support for Israel.
Figures in robes and caps, some waving Palestinian flags, were seen filing out of crowds of graduates assembled on the grass in the North Carolina University’s football stadium.
The video also showed several attendees leaving the viewing stands, including a person wearing a keffiyeh, which can be an emblem of solidarity with the Palestinian cause.

"Less than 1% of the graduating class at Duke University walk out of Jerry Seinfeld's commencement speech." Fixed your headline.

Has anyone tried unplugging the United States and plugging it back in again????

Are we arguing that everybody has to like Seinfeld? Wouldn't that be rather North Korean?

[@Fandreastico]

Thanks to Israel, who are forcing the truth from coming out to western media. No where else to share it than instagram, threads, tiktok...

I was there! The idiots were just about 20-30 out of many thousands! Kudos to the Duke community!!

[@MSScout86]

Yes but this does not support the narrative. Shhh.

[@lumbum_]

It’s like the world needs someone to be the container to all their hate. I definitely think the war needs to end but wtf did Jerry do or could do to end the war? He’s an actor not a politician

Of course they did! It appears to be a prerequisite of being on the political left, that one should not engage in reasoned discourse, and be intolerant, aggressive, abusive, and oppress free speech
