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.
I like jews. Free palestine.
Free Palestine and fuck Jerry Springer and his stupid bass line
What did the former mayor of Cincinnati have to do with this other 90s TV star
Jerry once licked my taint. I’ll never be able to figure out why. Pretty sure he just licks taint for a hobby or something.
This reminds me of Norm McDonald’s bit, “People say the worst thing about the whole Bill Cosby thing is the hypocrisy. I disagree, I thought it was the raping that was the worst” apologies for butchering it, but I think it’s very relevant, considering it was on an episode of comedians in cars with Jerry
“Ya know, the more I read about that Hitler fella, the less I care for him.”
He’s been overrated as a comedian his entire career, I feel zero sense of loss from continuing to ignore every syllable he produces.
What is the deal with comedians who think their opinion matters because they are billionaires?
Seinfeld should stick to comedy and keep his shitstain personal opinions to himself
He’s not good at comedy either so maybe he should just fuck off entirely
The show wasn’t great but the worst part was the random standup bits in between.
Oh Jerry, you geriatric, cradle robbing idiot.
Oh reminds me of a good video essay on recent Jerry from elephant graveyard.
you misspelled pedophile
Sorry I should have said Republican.
What did you think he’s robbing from the cradle, the toys?
Unpopular opinion but the guy’s been out of “real life” for almost three decades now. His bubble is made up very heavily by the worldview of Jewish voices, specifically those from New York Money which is a thing, and it’s not that surprising his take is what it is.
That said, yeah he probably shouldn’t be talking publicly about it. Because that’s ridiculous. For “regular” Jewish Americans, this time about this topic is incredibly distressing. Sort of like if your whole extended family, town, state, and media voted trump and think everything’s difficult-but-good, when obviously it’s beyond horrible.
Fuck you, are you on his list? I seem to remember you dating someone significantly significantly significantly and grossly younger than yourself you pervert.
Pretty sure he married her but could be wrong
Nah, they never got married. He just dated her for four years, when she was 17-21.
She was in high school when they started “dating.” He was 39.
“Great guy,” thank god he still has a mouthpiece so we have to read the shit he spews out of his dumb fucking mouth.
“Just say you don’t like Jews.”
Yeah that makes total sense. Obviously, if I feel like a group of people deserve to not be genocided, that means I don’t like Jews. So “liking Jews” = You must want to destroy another culture.You mean the guy who spent decades rehabilitating his racist friend is racist?
Jerry Seinfeld? The man who, at 39 years old, dated a 17 year old high school student?
Jesus Christ. How are so many wealthy people pedophiles in this country?! I bet he’s on the fucking Epstein list.
*Raped
As gross as this is, and clearly a 17 year old is not an adult by any real standard, but depending on the state it was legal. Just fucking gross and wrong immortal and he should be shamed into Oblivion for doing it.
Did she claim she was raped?
That’s why statutory rape is a thing. It can legally be rape even if the victim doesn’t object, because the victim was not legally capable of consenting. Children who have been groomed often believe that the sex was consensual, but they were legally incapable of consenting.
It’s amazing these people still think that all Jewish people agree with them. Or do they think a huge part of the global Jewish population just became “self-hating” or whatever term they’d use overnight?
Jewish voices are deeply involved in Palestinian solidarity movements across the world and at almost every level, so statements like this are just fucking insane.
Isn’t this the guy who raped an underaged girl?
You are going to need to be way more specific than that in this day and age.
He “dated” a 17 year old high school student when he was 39. He originally met her when she was like 15 or 16.
“I don’t care about Palestine,” says the comfortable billionaire. He doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about the issue. He’s just OK with genocide as a final solution, like the vast majority of Israel.
“I don’t preach about [the war]. I have my personal feelings about it that I discuss privately. It’s not part of what I can do comedically, but my feelings are very strong.”
His feelings:
I mean, no one should be surprised. Seinfeld has been a zionist from day one. Most of the cast of the show Seinfeld were zionists. Zionists are unfortunately a lot more present in media than anyone would like to believe, in addition to having many positions of power.
