"I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here, because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews,’" he told a crowd at Duke University.

Jerry Seinfeld likened the Free Palestine movement to the Ku Klux Klan — even saying those who use the phrase “Free Palestine” are worse than the white supremacist group — at a student event at Duke University meant to honor hostages who are being held in Gaza.

Seinfeld spoke at the school in Durham, North Carolina, to introduce a former Israeli hostage, Omer Shem Tov, when he made the remarks, according to the university’s student newspaper, The Duke Chronicle. He reportedly started by saying, in reference to the Free Palestine activist movement, “Just say you don’t like Jews.”

“By saying ‘Free Palestine,’ you’re not admitting what you really think. So it’s actually — compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here, because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews.’ Okay, that’s honest,'" the Chronicle reported Seinfeld said.

    A non funny man. There isn’t one thing he could do to make me break face. Unless he’s gone down the IDGAF road. At this point he’s gonna start cracking out those horrible Holocaust Jokes. Go ahead Jer, you dim witted zionist piece of shit. You certainly got us Goys for a minute. We’re on to you & the rest of your despicable kind. The zionists, NOT the people that are/ and or identify as followers of Judaism. The christians in the USA need to separate themselves with some serious terms from the christian nationalists. Otherwise, it will be a lump sum, winner take all. And believe me if you have the faith a made up god is on your side to deliver justice & defend from other perspectives, I am frightened b/c I do not honestly know how to handle this bunch of wretched miscreants. I do worry for their safety.
