Y'all cut it off right when the discussion was worth listening to!

[@TheSocietyPage]

Dan Abrams proving you shouldn’t listen to the media.

[@idlereport]

You cannot remove your affiliation with Israel. Wait are these people loyal to American or Israel?

[@MrJm323]

...."these people"....? Is Jerry Seinfeld affiliated with Israel? In what way? How often does he even mention Israel?

[@nedsadeh5234]

Message to Ali; when you are in a hole stop digging.

[@unintentionalprovocateur2158]

The better question is: Why did Duke choose Seinfeld as a commencement speaker? When you could be neutral and you decide not to for no real reason.

[@rosagiusti7076]

How is being a reporter just now not hosting, but interrupting non stop...hard to watch this frankly

[@DanFrederiksen]

Unusual for you, juicenation and dan abrams to have someone on that tells the scathing truth about how evil jerry seinfeld is

Because they’re möröns? Just spitballing here. Yadda yadda.

Of course it’s antisemitism ~ quit sugar coating the students actions!

It’s not antisemitism !!! Do you watch the news !? Do you see what NETANYAHU is doing ? The tens of thousands of people homeless and starving by attacks and bombs paid for with our tax dollars !? You can be against Netanyahu and not be against Jews !!! Just like you can be against Trump and loyal to America & the constitution

What an abrupt cut off!

[@user-uskxnfiw729]

Can’t stand hearing Hamas supporter denying who started war and killed civilians on purpose. Taking over a college building tradition and you compare that to Vietnam war protest? These guys are insane and try to gaslight the audience by omitting the important distinctions and blur the lines.

[@TheSocietyPage]

What are the “important distinctions”?

[@alejandronopasanada5302]

What are your thoughts on I. Supporting H.?

[@juanc5149]

Israel started the war in 1948. Hamas as despicable as they are, is a consequence of Israel’s actions since its inception. That country took its land by force and then oppressed the population before them since 1948.
