Forget the israel-palestine thing, I'm surprised he had enough time to give this speech before picking up his girlfriend from high school

How trite, boring and generic. He should have used the speech written by Larry David.

man, people really don’t like that pop tarts movie that he made

I don’t understand why people aren’t supporting anyone’s right to disagree, protest, or disagree. Isn’t that what America espouses as rights? I’m quite shocked at how at the contempt and vitriol shown to the people who are going to be the future of this country. We send our children to college to hone their critical thinking skills and to find their voice. Smh…does anyone not remember Vietnam?? But I am grateful that America’s veil of civility is being exposed for what it really is.

We live in a world where people are so soft now they can't hear anything that runs even slightly counter to their opinion, even if it's the truth. Over the past decade, grown adults have become the equivalent of crying children covering their ears going nah nah nah nah nah.

This isn't news. It's content. When people learn the difference we will continue our evolution.

I don’t think his speech prompted the walkout, I think it was that genocide thing

Whats Seinfeld supppsed to do about Palestine? Lol.

Remember that he attended a IDF anti-terrorist family camp...

Yadda Yadda Yadda

Didn’t they say Jerry was a Far right MAGA for making nazi soup joke??

Chopra tells us “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” The students aren’t ready for humor. There is a time for all things. And each thing is important. He was out of step.

Speech? They only needed to hear Seinfeld and they were gone.

That's the problem with being a celebrity, not everyone is going to agree with your opinions. Although why we should seek the opinion of a celebrity over anyone else eludes me, especially whenever the commoners speak up they are told to shut up, they don't know any better, they don't understand the situation. Somehow celebrity gives a greater understanding? Somehow Celebrity Status makes you wiser? If the only difference between the speaker and the listeners is just the amount of money, then what's the point? Let's all do ourselves a favor and stop making stupid people famous. ( although to be fair, I am more referring to the Kardashians and Jersey Shore)

Jerry is not funny

HAVE A COMEDIAN GIVE A SPEECH ON GRADUATION DAY!

Unfrosted!

This is America!!

Too many snowflakes. My grandfather served in WW1, my uncles in WW2, my cousins in Vietnam and my father & myself and brothers in the Cold War. We need more people who understand what it means to be attacked. Does the US ever respond in proportion? If you wish to end the conflict as soon as possible, NO! Gen. Sherman knew this well, leaving a trail of flames across Georgia. “It it good that war is horrible, lest we grow fond of it.” 2403 Americans were killed at Pearl Harbor. We (and Allies) turned around and killed 2.6 million Japanese. THAT is what it took to make the Japanese STOP and decide to re-join society of democracies. Even after Hiroshima & Nagasaki, some in the Japanese Army still wanted to fight to the last man (and woman). Apparently Hamas thinks the same, to the detriment of all Palastinians.

Jerry looks like he might have been outflanked.

Probably has something to do with his support of a certain military. And investing in organizations that oppress another group of people.

A mensch, as always, and he exerted his sense jof humor throughout the event. The walkouts cut off their noses to spite their faces, but it is not important in the scheme of things.

They aren't "Pals" with anyone...😂❤

It's probably .001 percent of the people that walked out - and he had to go because he forgot his Doctors appointment.

Why are we covering such a small group of students. Stop it- we all don’t care. Cover something more important like gay rights in middle eastern and African contries

Remember when Jerry Seinfeld was 38 years old and dated a 17 year old?

A group of people who love humane behavior I am extremely proud and happy to express my desire respect His country's government Human-friendly behavior Only practice will make you safe. If the government does not treat others humanely, you will not be treated humanely. Either way, choose a humane government. Inhuman behavior is seen today. One day it will be your turn. That behavior must be opposed.

Apparently, there were some people walking through the crowd with Febreeze and job applications, and they walked out.

What is you never had one? Jerry????

What’s really intriguing about this current issue is that it won’t matter in a year or so when these kids forget all about it and go on to the next tik Tok talking points

Pacify Gaza 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

Probably all girls that Jerry broke up with when they turned 18

He must have told them their expensive degree they want everyone else to pay for is trash cos half of them won't find jobs and that pretending to be a victim all the time is pathetic.

Seinfeld is a old crank who, instead of feeling shame for being behind the times, embraces it because he is rich and untouchable.

Interesting comments

I'm sorry I'm not up to date on why everyone walked out on Jerry?? What did he do?

Every student walking out should not get a diploma. They obviously have not learned one of the most important things to learn in college. Approach others with an open mind and listen to their ideas. You still don't have to agree, but you should listen.

Does anyone actually care about whats happening at colleges? No. If the mainstream would stop fanning the flames this would go away, but theyre not about to do that are they 🤗

How nice!

Love it ❤ He’s not even funny

Sort comments by newest first to see how ridiculous censorship is getting. Someone sure doesn't like us speaking truth.

Good luck with life students with life. You are all wrong about who you believe in

Sensible people❤❤❤ walking out on him

Didn’t know that Duke, a woke school.

Oh, so they won't cancel a speech by a member of the $$$ community huh?

Jerry's speech was trite and same ole boring. Have someone with a passion, giving hope for our future. He didnt say anything about Hamas but he is Jewish. Ye who judges, judge thyself first.

Looks like they only came to walk out for clickbait. Lol losers.

It's so weird to me that these people are protesting something that they have 0 control over. What do these people walking out on their graduation ceremony do for Palestine? What does protesting in the name of Palestine or Israel do for either of them? They don't care about us over here LMAO. So corny

lol.....the losers are leaving, great!

These folks are irretrievably racist, Seinfeld is pretty level headed

17 38 aye

How much did he get paid for doing that? Boring, irrelevant, and you know this guy only surrounded himself with people. He’s not funny, he’s not washed up. He certainly did not bang this commencement speech.

And the few protesters that walked out were serenaded by a chorus of boos. And Jerry was given a standing ovation by the graduating students and their families. USA Today is fragile as the losers that walked out.

Historically, many people of Jewish descent have chosen their profession in show and media, which allowed them to give the news their own 'truth'. Mobile phones with cameras have made this much more difficult. Israel made a mistake when they invaded Gaza and the world. was confronted with the terrible truth

What does he have to do really with what is happening in Israel? They are pre gudging him, that is mindless following.

Jerry is Jewish. He would support his people. I don’t condone the war and wish for a quick and peaceful resolution, but the Middle East tends to make their wars last for centuries due to animosity towards each other.

LOVE JERRY! ❤

God bless those kids. Respect existence or Expect resistance.

Ive lost all respect for this man

COMEDY is like KRYPTONITE to Woke Liberal Universities Student

Such disrespect! Granted he helped create the problem. Duke shame on you

Jerry's mom, if I remember correctly, was born in my country Syria! It is important to see both sides and acknowledge genocide and ethnic cleansing wherever it takes place. I love Jerry as a Comedian but as a compassionate human, he (and his wife) has failed miserably this time!!

His speech did not prompt them to walk out. Those little snowflakes would have walked out on Anybody just to get some attention?

Oh look, all the kids who ate Tide Pods are finally graduating.

Seinfeld = Class. Protesters = Classless

Not all students, just the ones confused about the situation overseas

Those children should never be hired

Selfish. Trying to ruin graduation

I’ve been watching Seinfeld since I was a little boy. I still watch it now. The left has become so weak minded that it’s embarrassing.

I love Jerry Seinfeld and he is one of the smartest comedians. I just wished if he didn't interfare in this politic dilemma

Not enough walked out.

Long live Israel! King Jesus Christ is coming back very soon and Elon Musk neurolink is the Mark of the Beast 🤯

Why did Seinfeld assume that everyone in the audience wants to be a comedian? "... as a comedian, do not lose your sense of humor." So, in Gaza, what's the joke?

Screw Seinfeld

He is Jewish, and some of the more progressive students are choosing to protest by walking out of their graduation ceremony, believing it to make a statement for global peace. It's concerning to see such actions being perceived as a representation of our youth’s resilience and maturity.

I would have left just because he’s a pretentious boring not funny person.

I think the next commencement is in 6 months. Maybe they can pick up their diploma then.
