Jerry Seinfeld has found himself embroiled in controversy and criticism from pro-Palestinian protesters due to his support of Israel amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. The comedian dismissed the backlash as “dumb” and “comical,” joking that as a comedian, he doesn’t control anything. Seinfeld’s commencement speech at Duke University was interrupted by student walkouts holding Palestinian flags, followed by protesters heckling his comedy show in Virginia. Despite the disruptions, Seinfeld maintained a lighthearted attitude towards the criticism and expressed confusion at being cast in a political light. He visited Israel last year in the aftermath of a Hamas attack and shared his support for the country on social media. Seinfeld addressed the walkouts during his commencement speech by delivering a comedic speech encouraging graduates to find something they can do rather than following their passion. Overall, Seinfeld expressed amusement at the misplaced rage of the protesters and emphasized the importance of retaining a sense of humor in challenging times.
