Apparently, at a show Thursday night, Dave Chappelle went on an anti-Israel rant upsetting some in the crowd.
But the 50-year-old comic - who made it clear he also condemned the terror attack by Hamas on October 7 - went on to accuse the Israeli government of killing innocent civilians, as well as cutting off water and other essentials.
Some in the TD Garden arena got up and left while others applauded, shouting, 'Free Palestine.'
At the end of the show, Chapelle argued that two wrongs did not make a right.
Reports from Dave Chappelle's Thursday show in Boston say the comedian went on an anti-Israel rant over Israel's response to Hamas's massacre of 1,400 Israeli citizens: "The audience was cheering Chappelle on during his tirade. I was sick. We were sick. I turned to my friends and… pic.twitter.com/Y99suYnvlh

Fan reportedly walked out of a Dave Chappelle show after the comedian accused Israel of war crimes and made several false claims.

Chappelle is a very smart guy. So, how was he so wrong on Israel?

Clearly, he needs some further information about this topic.
David triggered again.

I don’t think Dave is a big fan of the Jews.

It appears that way, unfortunately.
I don't know much about Chappelle, but he seems to thrive on being noticed.

He is not good at reading the room?

Chappelle has absolutely had strange takes on issues in the past, but taking this stance the week after over 1,400 Jewish people were slaughtered is pretty outrageous.
This is nothing new

He doesn't like innocent Palestinians being murdered by Israel because Hamas attacked them. I don't see the issue here.

It's unfortunate Hamas places innocents as human shields for their ammunition, but that is not the responsibility of the government of Israel. The blame for the loss of life of people in Gaza lies directly with their elected leaders, Hamas.
He's an antisemite, big surprise.

THIS is Dave Chappelle-Antisemite , Jew Hater, Bigot, Champion of Baby Killers and Rapists. His humor will get Jews killed. https://t.co/O05Max3IIm

His 'humor' has certainly emboldened a lot of anti-Semitism on Twitter as his name trends. It's a shame he chose this act of terror to express his abhorrent political views.
