Just don't ask him to compare the cound of extrajudicial murders on both sides.... He might have to face an uncomfortable truth (assuming he doesn't weasel out of them being extrajudicial murders by describing them in ways that amount to war crimes)
The Free Palestine Movement Seinfield's referring to is the one with mostly Western students protesting on college campuses, not the Free Palestine Movement located in Lebanon that was involved with armed conflict with Syria too. We have proof of this:
Here's a quote from this article:
“By saying 'Free Palestine,' you’re not admitting what you really think. So it’s actually — compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here, because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews.’ Okay, that’s honest,'" the Chronicle reported Seinfeld said.
Following Seinfeld's logic, maybe Michael Richards' popping off with the n-word is a "little better here" than Jerry's dishonest insinuation that the Free Palestine demonstrators are all antisemitic.
The laughtrack is almost more offensive than the whole supporting mass murder thing.
I liked Seinfeld the show, but Jerry was never really who made it funny. His only party trick was sarcastic observations. Guess what, been doing the same all my life, even got beat up over it in middle school. More than once.
George being neurotic, Kramer being Kramer and Elaine getting into trouble at her jobs was funny.
It was Cramer during a standup gig. But even on the Letterman show to bring Michael on and apologize, you could tell he completely sympathized with him saying something like being heckled could just get you out of sorts enough to start ripping the n-word.
He also loves to rant about political correctness being the reason why people don't find him funny anymore. Young people are just really offended. Definitely not related to him including being only able to make offending jokes. But Jews am I rite? (/s obvs).
Reading his Wikipedia article alone will already be helpful enough to overcome your affection.
Seinfeld and his family previously drew criticism, travelling to the occupied West Bank in 2018 to participate in an anti-terrorism simulation camp.
...
In 2025, responding to a social media influencer and ambush activist who said "Free Palestine", he shook his head and replied "I don't care about Palestine."
He thinks that the Free Palestine movement is antisemitic, and that they’re lying when they claim that they aren’t, whereas the KKK are openly antisemitic, and I guess he values the “honesty”?
I am doubtful of his relevance even then. Sure he voiced the bee, but Walburton could have just as easily taken that role while Jerry was the bee-cucked husband and still have been a wild ride we all talk about.
How are all these fucking idiots still confused that disliking the Israeli government has fuck all to do with disliking Jews? Do they know this, and just choose to make it about something more?
It's really mind boggling that people won't separate citizens v. gov't.
I hate Trump & the 80 million MAGA nuts in the USA. That leaves about 260,000,000 folks that I might like. Except that lousy prick in the white Ford 150 that squeezed into line of traffic from an illegal lane this morning 😉
Zionists are actually antisemitic.
Calling people who criticize Israel for its genocide and apartheid antisemitic implies that it's a jewish thing to commit genocide and apartheid, which is incredibly hateful.
Also this isn't just about the israeli goverment. The protests you see are about the hostages, not about the inhumanity. Protests for solidarity with palestine are banned. There are recent polls that showed ~75% of israelis think "there are no innocent palestinians". The beaches and restaurants are buzzing over there. It's really not that hard to see from just about any angle, how most israelis don't give a shit at all.
It's because people are told by the Israeli government and others with a stake in it that they're the same and it's done under threat, be it physical like jail, emotional abuse, or just the threat of cancelation. The last one is less of a thing lately but for a lot of years it was real. The non-political American maga dipshits doing it is because they're dipshits though.
There are some pretty brave students in Israel speaking up loudly in spite of the threats, love them for that.
To be fair to Michael Richards, it does sound like he was remorseful of that incident 20 years ago,
Richards will also discuss the night in 2006 that he shouted racial slurs at two hecklers during one of his standup acts that led to him largely pulling out of public life and "drove him to a lifelong spiritual quest, one that would help him move forward from apology and accountability to a greater appreciation for our shared humanity, a quest that continues to this day almost eighteen years later," according to publisher Permuted Press.
It seems to me, Michael Richards knew he fucked up, bowed out, and took the L.
Jerry Seinfiled, on the other hand. I would be shocked if ever he stated "Yeah, turns out. I was wrong. Free Palestine is not worse than the KKK. Israel was committing genocide."
Seinfeld was the funniest thing I'd ever seen when it was on originally. I've watched reruns of it in recent years and it just drags terribly. The difference? I was smoking shit tons of weed back in the '90s.
The one episode that was truly transcendently funny was the one where Jerry and George come back to JFK airport after being in LA and they can't find a cab, so they decide to pretend to be the people on the card held up by a limo driver so they can get a free ride back into the city. The two people on the card turn out to be white supremacists (ironically!) on their way to a rally at Madison Square Garden. The thing is, this episode was basically just Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Brain rot from spending too much time around the Israeli Jewish elite in NYC. Extreme terrorists will warp the perspective of anyone who falls into their purview.
At this point, he's an out of touch billionaire. He's been so rich for so long he's completely out of touch with reality. I remember thinking this when I heard his recent interview with Matt Farah on the Smoking Tire and he went on a tangent about transcendental meditation.
Transcendental meditation has been a rich people/Hollywood woo-woo thing for decades. I'd put it in the harmless but off beat practices like hot yoga and juice cleansing.
I don't disagree with you. He owns a shitton of cars, dated a 17yo when he was 39yo, and has the privilege to frequently shrug at real life issues and pretend to be a passive human being while hiding away in his wealth and luxury.
I remember when Brad Pitt did 7 Years In Tibet. A reporter asked him his thoughts on China invading Tibet. He replied,"Why are you asking me? I'm an actor."

The KKK has killed literally thousands of people (mostly black, but some Jews, and whites) source
But apparently according to Jerry here, the KKK gets a pass because "that's honest".
