Jerry Seinfeld’s week of difficult appearances continues, this time in Virginia.
As soon as Seinfeld took the stage for a stand-up comedy set at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk on Saturday night, a man in the audience jumped up and yelled, “Free Gaza,” TMZ reported. The audience immediately began booing the heckler and chanting “Jerry! Jerry!” as another bystander wrestled the protester into a headlock.
Security escorted the man out of the building, but the show was interrupted by other protesters eight times throughout its 90-minute run.
The controversy around Seinfeld’s views stems from his vocal support of Israel — which he visited following the Oct. 7 attacks — and his wife’s $5,000 donation to a GoFundMe for pro-Israel counterprotesters at UCLA after a late April protest turned violent.
Seinfeld didn’t seem bothered by the interruptions, telling the crowd not to boo the man because he had a right to protest.
“This is exciting. I like this,” the comic said as the original protester was escorted out of the venue. “I like a little Jew hate to spice up the show.”
Oof calling to “free Gaza” is considered equivalent to “Jew hate” 😓
.
No no, the party line is “fuck yes, blow up more Hamas”….
You’re not supposed to admit they’re children…
Most people consider every issue to be black and white, which is ironic considering Israel/Palestine is probably the most gray issue in modern times.
I’ll list out enough points that each side will hate some of them and want to argue. I hear that’s a great way to get up votes. But in the end I hope we can agree on most of these as facts, even if there are excuses and reasons.
- Most Gazans want to kill every Israeli Source
- Israel actually is killing much of Gaza
- There are valid reasons for the Palestinians to hate the Israelis
- The Israelis are under constant attack, even if they rebuff most of the attacks
- The Israelis have a right to defend themselves
- Israel has gone much farther than defense warrants.
- Israel is going to use this as an excuse to settle more Palestinian land
- Netanyahu enabled Hamas
- People have a right to protest, and the crackdowns on peaceful protests are despicable
Most Gazans want to kill every Israeli Source
Still waiting on that source. Cause that link you posted didn’t make that claim at all.
Did you not read it, like, at all? Or are you lying intentionally to try and justify genocide and try and make a black and white issue (Is genocide ever justified?) into something … nuanced?
I will say, this is the most subtle form of pro-genocide propaganda I’ve seen. Well done.
Hasbara
This guy is kind of a piece of shit. Wow.

It’s become clear that the show was almost entirely Larry David. Seinfeld was just lucky enough to be his buddy at the time and ride along.

I don’t know enough to say either way, but the quality definitely changed. Regardless, by that point, the cadence of the show, characters, etc. had already long been established so (as NBC execs figured out) they could just do it without Larry.
But obviously Larry David was the soul of that show. The show was about him, he is just too introverted and malcontent to play himself so he let his far more outgoing friend take the lead role.
Probably. Seems that way at least.
What a shame. At least we still have Larry David (I think).
Last I heard we did.

Fucking what

Fucking what
“free gaza” is not “Jew hate”, that’s absolutely insane.
another bystander wrestled the protester into a headlock
That’s assault, right? Cause it sounds a lot like assault.
Nonono, if someone is peacefully protesting a political opinion that is not shared by the government, all measures of silencing are legal /s
And just like that, I lost all respect for him.
Not the time he dated a highschooler when he was 38?
It seems it was almost a month before her 18th.
Who tf cares. That’s not the point, being 38 with an 18yo is weird regardless of legality.
I would think if the majority of people agreed with you, he’d have been cancelled hard already, but nobody really seems to care except the vocal minority of terminally online nerds with even more questionable minds
Yeah man maybe if we all stand up and tell him to free gaza he’ll do stand up and send proceeds directly to Qatar.
Hey Jerry, I’m a fellow Jew.
It’s not Jews I hate, it’s you.
Free Gaza.
“It’s not Jew hate, Jerry, it’s you hate!”
Fellow Jew here.
Fuck Jerry Seinfeld for being a Zionist piece of crap.
Freeing Gaza is not Jew hate you ass-hat.
If you think pro-Palestinian demonstrations are Jewish hate, you’re a complete chud, Seinfuck. Also, it’s literally making people associate anti-Palestinian sentiment with Judaism at large. Can’t stop people from shooting themselves in the foot, I suppose.
Everytime the Zionists imply that being against the mass murder of children is being against Jews a little child dies … quite literally, either bombed by Israel or snipped by an IDF soldier.
jerry seinfeld is the joe rogan of comedians.
While reading I was like ok maybe he’s not so bad. He says the man has right to protest, right on Jerry. Then he says “a lil jew hate to spice up the show” get fucked sienfeld
