Anti-Israel Students at Duke University Walk Out on Commencement Speaker Jerry Seinfeld
“Seinfeld has been vocal in his support of Israel multiple times since Hamas terrorists launched surprise attacks on residential areas in Israel on Oct. 7.”
These people are such miserable, pompous, brats. They think they’re so morally superior.

Duke University students walk out on Jerry Seinfeld’s commencement speech, chant ‘free Palestine’
Dozens of students at Duke University walked out on legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld’s commencement speech on Sunday, with some chanting “free Palestine,” according to videos of the ceremony posted on social media.
The student protesters staged the walkout just as Seinfeld, who is Jewish and a vocal supporter of Israel, was introduced, according to the videos.
Some students carried Palestinian flags as they left the stadium. Other graduates and guests chanted “Jerry! Jerry!” as the comedian took the stage to receive an honorary degree.
Seinfeld delivered his speech without major interruptions, Reuters reported.
The “Seinfeld” star opened his speech with some jokes before telling graduates his “three real keys to life,” which are work hard, pay attention and fall in love, according to WRAL-TV.
“Whatever you’re doing, I don’t care if it’s your job, your hobby, a relationship, getting a reservation at M Sushi,” the comedian said. “Make an effort. Just pure, stupid, no-real-idea-what-I’m-doing-here effort. Effort always yields a positive value, even if the outcome of the effort is absolute failure of the desired result. This is a rule of life. Just swing the bat and pray is not a bad approach to a lot of things.”

Dozens…are really a big loss
We need to arrange more appearances of anti-woke people at events and entertainment that woke people really want to see. I’m tired of having to boycott a lot of interesting stuff and tasty food because of my objections to the wokeness or leftism of the provider. It’s time our opponents had to share this burden.
Our friends’ daughter walked out of the graduation ceremony, but not due to any antisemitic or pro-Pali sentiment. She said it was really hot, saw her chance to escape and took it, along with several of her friends. I wonder what percentage of the dozens were not protesting anything except the heat?
