Jerry Seinfeld likened the Free Palestine movement to the Ku Klux Klan — even saying those who use the phrase “Free Palestine” are worse than the white supremacist group — at a student event at Duke University meant to honor hostages who are being held in Gaza.
Seinfeld spoke at the school in Durham, North Carolina, to introduce a former Israeli hostage, Omer Shem Tov, when he made the remarks, according to the university’s student newspaper, The Duke Chronicle. He reportedly started by saying, in reference to the Free Palestine activist movement, “Just say you don’t like Jews.”
“By saying ‘Free Palestine,’ you’re not admitting what you really think. So it’s actually — compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here, because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews.’ Okay, that’s honest,'" the Chronicle reported Seinfeld said.
This is the closest I’ve ever come to laughing at Jerry Seinfeld.
It really is an achievement to be the least popular character on your own TV show
Wait was that the joke? Was he supposed to be an awful comedian and everyone in his life is somehow funnier passively? Cosmic clown.
No not intentionally. He sort of plays the role of the straight man in jokes, and the other characters are funnier
Eh, they hint at the awareness of it with the pilot episode. But that show is all Larry David anyway. All Seinfeld has a talent for is realizing how talented others are. Kind of like how George is in the pilot stuff where he’s just a tagalong lol
So his biggest joke is his struggle to be funny made impotent next to the day to day funny of Kramer or the soup Nazi… That is Greek theater 🤯
his biggest joke, was him calling people woke for not laughing at his jokes.
You forget that he’s one of the primary writes of Seinfeld. So if you think George is funny, newsflash it’s probably Jerry Seinfelds jokes
Jerry hasn’t done anything funny since Seinfeld, whereas Larry David went on to make one of the funniest shows ever. I think Larry was sort of carrying that team.
I thought one conspiracy of Kramer’s was funny. And maybe George’s reaction to the soup nazi but I don’t remember laughing. More like I didn’t click away until the Jerry stand up scenes if nothing was on.
his like rob of isaip, pretentious and somewhat unfunny without his co-stars, which are better actors.
Jerry Seinfeld likes the KKK, got it
Not surprised, Jerry Seinfeld is a Jewish supremacist who says a lot of dumb shit. Other not so fun fact, he groomed a teenager at the height of his fame and everyone looked the other way because when you’re a star, they let you do it.
but now, it made sense, pivoting to the RIGHT has always been an escape predators of MINORS and women.
So disingenuous when people pretend they can’t see the difference between “I don’t like the actions of the Israeli government” and “I don’t like Jewish people.” This sort of false dichotomy is exactly the sort of thing fascists leverage to justify their actions.
I’ll admit to what I really think. I think that Israel is committing genocide.
He’s a creep that dated a 17 year old while he was in his 30s
Wow.
Ok buddy. You could have just not said anything and kept your genocidal opinion to yourself, but you do you. Enjoy the shattering of your professional legacy. 🍻
Larry was all the talent anyway
@cm0002 perv who dated a teenager when he was 37 can shut up.
Like his standup comedy, he has entirely misunderstood the basic fundamentals of the concept.
punching down only, and not punching up. this is the failure of right wing “comedians”
I never found Seinfeld particularly funny when the show aired, but I was otherwise unaware he could also be lumped with the likes of Epstein and Trump, and that he was a Zionist piece of shit.
That makes me all the more happy that I never found him funny, because I would have been disappointed otherwise.
jason alexendar was on voyager, i think his roles is more expansive than jerry seinfeld.
Lots of other reasons to not like the guy, too. Not that you need any
Pedophile says what?
I hope he gets Kirk’d.
With that kind of logic, it’s safe to state Jerry Seinfeld hates all German people. And Americans, because they didn’t step up in a timely manner. Oh, and pretty much all of Europe for shuffling “the problem” to someone else’s continent. Plus that continent.
I don’t know if the KKK supports Israel, and I don’t care to research it, but I know they don’t support Palestine.
Damn, that talent-less hack could take the place of Netenyahoo tomorrow!
