In the weeks following the October 7 problems, Jerry Seinfeld declared his aid for Israel and the Hebrew people on social media.
The comedian made the trip to Israel in December as part of his display to show support for both the nation’s fight against Hamas and the victims of the criminal organization’s suffering.
As Breitbart News reported, the writer’s family, Jessica, recently , donated$ 5, 000 to a pro- Israel march that desk protested a pro- Arab show at UCLA.
The Duke protest on Sunday is just the latest illustration of rising anti-Israel mood on prestigious college campuses, with students occupying classrooms and common areas in opposition of the Middle East war. In some cases, some individuals have also praised Hamas, ignoring the extremist group’s properly- documented cruelty of Palestinians.
Elite institutions around the region have seen extra- Israel demonstrations, including Columbia, Harvard, Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, UCLA, NYU, and more.
