A small but vocal group of students at Duke University expressed their opposition to comedian Jerry Seinfeld, a staunch supporter of Israel, speaking at their commencement ceremony. Approximately 30 students chanted 'free Palestine' and waved Palestinian flags during the event. Seinfeld was present to receive an honorary doctorate from the university.
Similar protests were seen at other universities across the U.S. during graduation ceremonies. At Pomona College in Southern California, pro-Palestinian demonstrators attempted to disrupt the event, leading to a relocation of the ceremony to a different venue with increased security measures.
