Jerry Seinfeld was the commencement speaker for Duke University’s graduating 2024 class. It should have gone off without any drama, but in the era of perpetual left-wing victimhood, that was not the case. If it weren’t the war in Gaza, it would have been something else. Alas, at least 30 students staged a mini-pro-Hamas rebellion against the comedian. They walked out, but it was a minor hiccup. Over two dozen students might have left, but there were around 6,000 in the class (via Politico): 

A tiny contingent of Duke University graduates opposed pro-Israel comedian Jerry Seinfeld speaking at their commencement in North Carolina Sunday, with about 30 of the 7,000 students leaving their seats and chanting “free Palestine” amid a mix of boos and cheers. 

Some waved the red, green, black and white Palestinian flag. Seinfeld, whose decade-long namesake show became one of the most popular in U.S. television history and who continues to draw legions of fans to his Netflix specials and TV appearances such as “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” was there to receive an honorary doctorate from the university.
