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

  1. "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.

  2. 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 👍🏻

  3. 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.

  4. Congratulations Jerry Seinfeld for your honorary degree. Never mind the small minded protest, you can't please everyone all the time. ❤️🇭🇲

  5. 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.
