Dozens of Duke University students walk out of Jerry Seinfeld's commencement speech

Dozens of students walked out of Duke University’s commencement ceremony on Sunday to protest its guest speaker, comedian Jerry Seinfeld, over his support for Israel.

Figures in robes and caps, some waving Palestinian flags, were seen filing out of crowds of graduates assembled on the grass in the North Carolina University’s football stadium.

The video also showed several attendees leaving the viewing stands, including a person wearing a keffiyeh, which can be an emblem of solidarity with the Palestinian cause.

"Less than 1% of the graduating class at Duke University walk out of Jerry Seinfeld's commencement speech." Fixed your headline.

Dozens of educated, but dumb students walk out of Jerry Seinfeld's commencement speech. There, I fixed the title of the video.

Some people get their education from Tik Tok.. if any at all!

[Dukers]

We’ve devolved into “this man bad because he is Jew” how stunning and brave

[vezner]

Look at all of those social studies degrees that left. They are headed straight for their jobs at McDonald’s.

Pray for the moral temporal spiritual well being of Palestinian Catholics.

Why is the title like saying there were no people to listen to his speech. Hhahahhaha. There were even people chanting Jerry!!! Hhahahah. So funny title. Go Jerry!!!

[MichaelClerk-xdft]

I was there! The idiots were just about 20-30 out of many thousands! Kudos to the Duke community!!

It’s like the world needs someone to be the container to all their hate. I definitely think the war needs to end but wtf did Jerry do or could do to end the war? He’s an actor not a politician

[sashmartin]

Dozens?! Is this really worth of news?

[wendyrichards]

Of course they did! It appears to be a prerequisite of being on the political left, that one should not engage in reasoned discourse, and be intolerant, aggressive, abusive, and oppress free speech

They've got a Flight to catch for Gaza .. i mean' if the flight wont be hijacked.

They weren't boo-ing Jerry Seinfeld. They were boo-ing the students and audience members who were leaving.

Misleading caption. Sensationalism at its best.

[milliondogs]

'Dozens' 😂😂. what a statement!

[JuanLegendre-eyty]

These people walking out are nothing and deserves no respect.

[reha]

They weren't booing Jerry! They were booing the ones walking out.

Changing the world, one protest at a time LOL
