Seinfeld Booed at Duke Commencement Amid Pro-Palestine Demonstrations

During the commencement ceremony at Duke University, a group of around 30 students staged a walkout and protest against comedian Jerry Seinfeld's scheduled appearance. The protest was sparked by Seinfeld's vocal support for Israel, particularly in light of the recent conflict in Gaza. Some students left their seats, chanted "Free Palestine," and waved the Palestinian flag amidst cheers from fellow protesters. This small contingent of graduates opposed Seinfeld's views, which have been publicly stated since Israel's invasion of Gaza.
