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.”
I’m glad you were able to make the situation so black and white.
It really is.
Any country that intentionally withholds food, medicine, and potable water from a population it considers undesirable is a government intentionally committing genocide.
Is genocide ever justified is a yes or no question. Only one answer makes you a monster
You lied about the results of a survey to imply something the survey didn’t ask in order to slander a population being genocided.
Furthermore, you defended that lie with a self-righteous tirade rather than acknowledging your lie.
It’s rather beside the point but there are multiple surveys of the Gazan population that asks the questions you lied about and came out with a much different conclusion.
