Figures in robes and caps, some waving Palestinian flags, filed out of the ceremony held on the grass in the university’s football stadium and several people left the viewing stands. Others in the crowd shouted “Jerry! Jerry!” as the actor received an honorary degree. Seinfeld delivered his speech without major interruptions

How can you support Genocide and collective punishment on millions of people?
Jerry is a bigot. He's been all his life
Now i realise why i didn't like him from the beginning
This is why i always supported tom 🐈 from childhood
And nothing happened but a youtube video great work 👏
"The students are ANTI-SEMATIC and it's all the radical Left's FAULT"
Expect the retort ong those lines in order to whitewash the GENOCIDE of the Palestinian people of Gaza.
Free Palestine
No jokes, Mr.seinfeld
Jerry’s not funny
Larry David is funny
Is silly what they do
Fighting over a land that dose NOT belong to anyone 😢
Jerry said it once: The best revenge is living well 👍🏻
How is he still a thing? He is no Larry D and never was.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
🤣
Stop genocide Joe and satanyahou
Who's the GOAT? Jon Stewart and Dave Chappelle, of course. Sienfield who?
Allahu akbar
Be decent stop corruption
1948 oof
Those shouting jeryy jerry and making sounds would be ashamed for their lives😞
Lazy left wing journalism at its finest😅
Why is this news? Because hes a celebrity? They want to leave they can leave.
Excellent
Sorry to say but it’s the students lose to protest their own graduation.
These protesters trying so hard to matter.
Proud of these Students 👏🙌
Jerry Seinfeld being racist and ignorant about the Palestinian genocide should surprise no one. He is not a sharp guy nor an empathetic guy. Entitled and self-immersed and isolated like the majority of Americans. John Oliver he isn't.
😮
Congratulations Jerry Seinfeld for your honorary degree. Never mind the small minded protest, you can't please everyone all the time. ❤️🇭🇲
Im now taking the Guardian off my list. Support terrorism, but not the right of a sovereign nation to defend its population.. Eternal shame Guardian.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
