In a prominent American university, - Anti-Semitic students jeer at Jerry Seinfeld.

During a graduation event at Duke University in North Carolina, some students displayed anti-Semitic behavior by booing renowned Jewish comedian Jerry Seinfeld (70). These students claimed to be supporters of Palestine.

A 25-second clip circulated on social media, showing the students standing up and exiting the venue at Wallace Wade Stadium where over thousand attendees gathered. Many protesters carried Palestinian flags.

Jerry Seinfeld has made waves for supporting Israel after becoming involved in a violent conflict instigated by Hamas' assault on Israel. His activism didn't start with this event - he even visited Tel Aviv to help hostage relatives affected by the Islamist Palestinian group. When queried about his visit, he stated, "I'm Jewish" to GQ magazine. He and wife Jessica strongly stand against anti-Semitism online as well.

The ceremony at Duke University brought Jerry Seinfeld an honorary doctorate. Most guests welcomed the news, but this group of anti-Israel protesters disagreed, causing disruption.

Several top US universities have experienced violent demonstrations since Hamas initiated hostilities against Israel. The demands by these activists are for the institutions to break all ties - financial or economic - with Israel. Defenders of Israel condemn these demonstrations due to the underlying anti-Semitic undertones.

Since the Palestinian group Hamas carried out their attack in Gaza, there have been numerous instances of anti-Semitic demonstrations at prestigious US universities such as Harvard, MIT, and Princeton. These protestors seek to disrupt the connections between these university and Israel.
