Fans of comedian Dave Chappelle reportedly got up and left one of his recent performances after he is said to have sided against Israel for targeting Hamas terrorists inside the Gaza Strip.
Chappelle’s remarks come after the terrorists launched an unprecedented terrorist attack two weeks ago, murdering more than 1,400 Israelis — including 30+ Americans — wounded 3,200+ and took over 200 hostages.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Chappelle made the remarks during a performance in Boston on Thursday, a claim that a spokesperson for Chappelle denied, saying that he was not in Boston at the time. The New York Post reported that he had a show listed in Boston on Thursday among the list of dates that he would be performing.
The report said that he condemned Hamas’ attack against Israel before criticizing “what he said were war crimes in Gaza,” according to people in attendance.
Chappelle reportedly stood up for students who are facing fewer job prospects after they cheered on the slaughter of Israelis at the hands of the genocidal Palestinian terrorists.
A member of the audience was apparently stern with Chappelle, telling him to shut up, which sparked an “emotional response” from him attacking Israel for cutting off supplies to the area — even though Israel is not required to provide supplies to terrorists.
Some in the audience reportedly shouted “Free Palestine,” triggering some fans to get up and leave the event.
He later tried to draw a false moral equivalence between Israel’s policies and Hamas’ heinous terrorist attacks.
One man who attended the event told the Daily Mail: “The audience was cheering Chappelle on during his tirade. I was sick. We were sick. I turned to my friends and wife and said I think it is time to go.”
“We walked out and met up with many other Jews leaving the show,” he continued. “Never in my life have I felt so unsafe and so fearful of what I was witnessing.”
