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.
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.
Didn’t exactly answer my question.
Because the question is inherently flawed; With statutory rape, it doesn’t matter what the victim claims. The victim can claim it was consensual, but it’s still rape.
