Jerry Seinfeld is interrupted onstage by pro-Palestinian protesters — again
LA TimesJerry Seinfeld has come under fire for his support of Israel amid the war in Gaza. Jerry Seinfeld’s week of difficult appearances continues, this time in Virginia. As soon as Seinfeld took the stage for a stand-up comedy set at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk on Saturday night, a man in the audience jumped up and yelled, “Free Gaza,” TMZ reported. This isn’t the first time the “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” host has been interrupted lately — his commencement speech at Duke University was subject to walkouts and chanting by pro-Palestinian students. The controversy around Seinfeld’s views stems from his vocal support of Israel — which he visited following the Oct. 7 attacks — and his wife’s $5,000 donation to a GoFundMe for pro-Israel counterprotesters at UCLA after a late April protest turned violent.
