Jerry Seinfeld says people who say 'Free Palestine' are worse than the Ku Klux Klan

www.nbcnews.com

Jerry Seinfeld likened the Free Palestine movement to the Ku Klux Klan — even saying those who use the phrase "Free Palestine" are worse than the white supremacist group — at a student event at Duke University meant to honor hostages who are being held in Gaza.
Seinfeld spoke at the school in Durham, North Carolina, to introduce a former Israeli hostage, Omer Shem Tov, when he made the remarks, according to the university's student newspaper, The Duke Chronicle. He reportedly started by saying, in reference to the Free Palestine activist movement, "Just say you don’t like Jews."
“By saying 'Free Palestine,' you’re not admitting what you really think. So it’s actually — compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here, because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews.’ Okay, that’s honest,'" the Chronicle reported Seinfeld said.

This is the closest I've ever come to laughing at Jerry Seinfeld.
- It really is an achievement to be the least popular character on your own TV show
  
  Wait was that the joke? Was he supposed to be an awful comedian and everyone in his life is somehow funnier passively? Cosmic clown.
Not surprised, Jerry Seinfeld is a Jewish supremacist who says a lot of dumb shit. Other not so fun fact, he groomed a teenager at the height of his fame and everyone looked the other way because when you're a star, they let you do it.
So disingenuous when people pretend they can't see the difference between "I don't like the actions of the Israeli government" and "I don't like Jewish people." This sort of false dichotomy is exactly the sort of thing fascists leverage to justify their actions.
Jerry Seinfeld likes the KKK, got it
I'll admit to what I really think. I think that Israel is committing genocide.
What do you think is the smallest trunk of a car we could fit Jerry into? I say the compartment behind the seat of a del Sol is doable if we try real hard.
Wow.
Ok buddy. You could have just not said anything and kept your genocidal opinion to yourself, but you do you. Enjoy the shattering of your professional legacy. 🍻
Like his standup comedy, he has entirely misunderstood the basic fundamentals of the concept.
@cm0002 perv who dated a teenager when he was 37 can shut up.
Pedophile says what?
I never found Seinfeld particularly funny when the show aired, but I was otherwise unaware he could also be lumped with the likes of Epstein and Trump, and that he was a Zionist piece of shit.
That makes me all the more happy that I never found him funny, because I would have been disappointed otherwise.
- Lots of other reasons to not like the guy, too. Not that you need any
He also molested and underage girl so his opinions are obviously stupid and gross.
I don't know if the KKK supports Israel, and I don't care to research it, but I know they don't support Palestine.
With that kind of logic, it’s safe to state Jerry Seinfeld hates all German people. And Americans, because they didn’t step up in a timely manner. Oh, and pretty much all of Europe for shuffling “the problem” to someone else’s continent. Plus that continent.
Damn, that talent-less hack could take the place of Netenyahoo tomorrow!
From the river to the sea, Jerry.
Jfc Jerry, read the room
💯
