Duke University students recently caused a hullabaloo at their big graduation bash by walking out on famous funnyman Jerry Seinfeld. The students weren’t laughing at his jokes, oh no! They were all fired up about his support for Israel. Some of the protestors even shouted “Free Free Palestine” and waved the Palestinian flag.
In case you missed it, Jerry Seinfeld hasn’t been shy about backing Israel. After some serious terrorist attacks rocked the region, he made it clear where he stood – firmly by Israel’s side. In fact, he even took a trip to Israel to show his support for the country and its people during these tough times.
Duke invited a Jewish speaker to graduation and Pro-H@mas graduates walked out. The speaker? Jerry Seinfeld.

But the drama didn’t stop there! Jerry’s wife, Jessica, put her money where her mouth is by donating cash to a pro-Israel rally that went head-to-head with a pro-Palestinian event at UCLA. Talk about standing up for what you believe in!
So, what’s the big deal? Well, it seems like anti-Israel vibes are spreading like wildfire on college campuses across the nation. From Duke to Columbia to Harvard and beyond, students are getting all riled up about the situation in the Middle East. Some are even cheering for Hamas, despite their less-than-stellar track record with the Palestinian people.
