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.

Absolutely tone-deaf. KKK lynched people, including Jewish Americans.
I wonder if Seinfeld would go a step further and say “I’m actually thinking Nazi Germany is actually a little better here, because they can come right out and say”…
Whereas 38-year-olds that date 17-year-olds are fine, morally.
“Brave” words from pedophile zionazi.
Jerry, don’t you have a girlfriend you need to take to prom or something?
Don’t be ridiculous! It’s homecoming season, not prom silly.
Five years ago he couldn’t get a laugh at a college by doing a gay stereotype and now he’s a full fledged nazi
Boomer comedians
Isn’t like 13% of the population of Palestine Jewish?
Around 3% before Zionist colonization
What’s the deal with genocide supporters?
“Just say you don’t like Jews.”
No Jerry, I said “you” not “jews”. I don’t like you, Jerry…and genocide. I’m not fond of it either.
I say let’s not let Jerry define the argument. It’s insane to not show more humanity for the loss of life or displacement that is occurring. Not everyone’s a combatant. Not everyone’s a supporter, to be cast aside for a one-sided view only.
So Seinfeld supports genocide and invasion/expansion over corpses. How low can you go?
this is probably one of the big reason why celebrities who are working don’t say anything.
Even if he was actively working it wouldn’t matter. His sitcom made him stupid amounts of money. He’s just another billionaire that needs to not exist
Sorry I don’t listen to grown men that date children.
It’s because the KKK goes after people they don’t like while Palestine activists go after people they do like.
Jerry Seinfeld’s opinions are as relevant as his comedy is funny.
Ba da bam.
You had one job…
Huh another billionaire pedophile…
The Seinfeld TV show did well, but I’m confident Jerry isn’t a billionaire.
According to Google he is.
Well I’ll be god damned…
He’s a statutory rapist why do we care what he thinks? Stick with the sitcom and stfu.
The least funny famous person for being funny. He is the worst part of everything I have ever seen him in.
