Dozens of students walked out of Duke University’s commencement ceremony on Sunday to protest guest speaker Jerry Seinfeld over his support of Israel during the war in Gaza.
Video of the incident shows a group of students walking out of their seats and carrying a Palestinian flag as soon as the comedian and TV star was called to the stage.
The attention to the protesters was quickly diverted by the cheering crowd, who chanted, “Jerry! Jerry!” as Seinfeld went on to give his speech and accept an honorary degree from Duke.
