Holy shit err I mean Allah's Feces! Dave Chappelle under fire for anti-Semitism again after slamming Israel and sparking walkout Comedian Dave Chappelle is under fire again for anti-Semitism after he criticized Israel's actions in fighting Hamas terrorists during a show in Boston. Some audience members left when others in the crowd joined in yelling their support for Palestine. Chappelle performed at TD Garden in Boston on Thursday and Friday to a packed house, according to multiple audience members. Near the end of his act, Chappelle said that as a Muslim he condemns Israel for its treatment of the Gazan people and he "started to add in lots of false and unsubstantiated claims," according to a Facebook post from Andrew Margolies, who said he was at the Oct. 19 show. Another person also said they were at Chappelle's show and said he started speaking about Israel and Palestine by saying what happened on Oct. 7 was wrong when more than 1,400 people, including women, children and the elderly, were murdered by Hamas terrorists. However, he then went on to criticize Israel's response before an audience member shouted at him, "Shut the F up." Chappelle reportedly responded, "You do not tell me to shut the F up at my show," and began a "tirade of his beliefs leaving comedy behind and focusing purely on the politics," according to Margolies. "While that was awful in itself, what made my heart sink and started to invoke fear was when the crowd of nearly 20,000 people started yelling out 'Go Palestine. Go Hamas.' and other related [hateful] jargon," he also wrote. Margolies said he, his wife, and "many other Jews" left the show. "Never in my life have I felt so unsafe and so fearful of what I was witnessing. The words alone were horrific, but we were vulnerable in a public forum. How could we know what would happen? Could violence against the Jewish members in the audience break out?" The other audience member said that the audience was filled with the "typical Boston demographic" of "80% white. 5% black and the rest Latin and others." Chappelle then reportedly said to go ahead and "cancel" him, but the whole crowd cannot be canceled, referring to the practice of cancel culture, where people are barred from participating in segments of society for their comments. A spokesperson for Chappelle told The Wall Street Journal that the comedian "denies being in Boston" that night, despite being listed as performing there. The venue, TD Garden, did not immediately respond to Just the News' request for comment. Chappelle received criticism last year after his "Saturday Night Live" monologue repeatedly alluded to the anti-Semitic allegation that Jews control the media. His latest comments sparked online outrage, as well as praise. Former Georgia Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney, who is well-known for expressing doubts about the Holocaust, commented on the incident on X, formerly Twitter: "Israel and its supporters deserve criticism; they smear, ridicule, stigmatize people who object to its criminal behavior." "I’ll never watch a damn thing of #DaveChappelle again in my life," Israel advocate David Lange said. "Someone inform the funny man that the Palestinians voted Hamas into power. So they need to blame themselves, not us or Israel, for their stupidity," another user said. | ||

About 20 years ago he went on indefinite hiatus/sabbatical from Chappelle's Show after season 2. I remember reading that he was a practicing Muslim and that Islam helped him get through this period. Quoted in Time magazine in May 2005, "I don't normally talk about my religion publicly because I don't want people to associate me and my flaws with this beautiful thing. And I believe it is beautiful if you learn it the right way." | |||

That's disappointing. From the little I've seen/heard of him I thought he was more reasoned and insightful than this. | |||

Really, I always liked him and thought he was pretty good and real. He loved to poke fun at the black community and all their politically correct stuff. But then you know you have to take what you read via the internet with a big grain of salt. I can see criticizing Israel for some of their actions. (that's not on the face of it anti semitic)... but doing it right at this moment in time is just stupid. My Native American Name: "Runs with Scissors" | |||

A lot of the support leftists express for radical Islam is due to the "Black Muslim" movement of the 60's and 70's. There are plenty of devotees still around who have maintained their beliefs and raised their children in their faith. These people are not friends of the USA, nor do they share what most would consider civilized values, instead they are driven by radical Islamic faith-based philosophies that are inimical to what most Americans believe. The Democrat party, fearful of losing this voting bloc, are careful to stay in line with their agenda. | |||

Thank you Very little |
So was he there or wasn't he, seems pretty easy to figure that one out....
Well, it's Boston, so....... | |||

It's amazing at how many lines are drawn in the sand and whose side people are on. You wouldn't think the people of Boston would be like that but nothing is surprising anymore. I wonder how many would cheer for Palestine and their ilk, when they do something over here again. Very sad. | |||

This. When someone, particularly an American starts to speak in support of Islam and starts to spout their beliefs, first thing I always look up is if they are a Black Muslim or, are they more of the 'mainstream Muslim'. Black Muslims like you pointed out sprouted from the 60's, and flourished in the prison system; the world they created is one of absolutes, simple concepts of right/wrong with harsh penalties for violations is very attractive for the unsophisticated or those who's lives are one of criminality. Muslims in other parts of the world acknowledge Black-American Muslims but, basically regard them as oddballs, believers but, the weird ones. Not sure where Chappelle falls in this. | |||

Chappelle's immediate pushback about "cancelling" him shows that he already had that crap in mind when he decided to use his celebrity to push falsehoods. He doesn't need to worry about being cancelled and he knows it and I don't care whether or not he suffers that fate and before yesterday, I would have only been mildly surprised at his religious faith, but now that he's shown that his faith has blinded him, he can go fuck himself. He can and will continue with sellout shows, but I choose to now disregard anything and everything he says, on any topic. I'll make a conscious effort to avoid hearing anything he says from now on and members can expect that any "hilarious" things he says which get posted in this forum, to be nuked on sight. It's not that he's Muslim; it's that he chooses to not only support psychopathic savages and to use his celebrity to make excuses for these room temperature IQ gorillas. He has the right to say these things and I have the right to refuse to listen to him saying these things, and therefore, Chappelle is now persona non grata in this fourm. In no way will this affect Chappelle. That's not the point anyway. | |||

Everybody says he is a comic genius but while he has his moments he is no Norm MacDonald. He thinks he is so fucking smart because he can get away with shit because he leverages his skin color and knows we are limited in our criticism because of fear of being called a racist. | |||

I’ve seen many YouTube Short videos of his performances, and many are hilarious. In some, he has mentioned his family members being Muslim, but I don’t remember him saying he was. Just as the celebrations by the many on 9/11 here in the US and around the world, I personally choose to ‘cancel’ or boycott those with similar beliefs. With the exponential growth of those with those beliefs, in addition to the lefty progressives, I greatly fear for my children, their children, and so on since there will be no place to escape to. Our societal ‘tolerance’ has become a suicide pact. We’ve become so neutered we just witness the fall, and for the time being, freely comment on and complain here on forums with no plan of action. Many in the Judeo/Christian West are willingly becoming the target of a firing squad, not even asking for a blindfold instead of standing up and acting. I put it once to my ultra-lefty daughter: If our US society was instantly perfectly balanced with equal races, ethnicities, sexual preferences, religions, political beliefs, etc, it wouldn't take long before one or more would become dominant over the others through whatever means. I asked her what the mechanism was to keep that from happening, and of course, she wouldn’t or couldn’t provide me an answer. No more Dave for me. Retired Texas Lawman | |||

So the same reason he's "somewhat" anti-lgbt is also why he's pro-hamas? __________________________________ NRA Benefactor I lost all my weapons in a boating, umm, accident. http://www.aufamily.com/forums/ | |||

Man. One of my favorite comics. He’s generally not been like this. Sad to hear/read. I can’t believe people like him, those clown kids at Harvard, etc, are condoning this terrorist activity. Even that Bill Maher guy tore the Harvard kids and anyone who thinks that, a new asshole. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

I’ll have to watch it for myself before I put him into cancel culture. I’m always a little skeptical when the reporter is getting his info from audience members. Dave could be 100% wrong but I want to hear it. I heard basically the same thing about Tucker a couple days ago and it was nothing like reported. | |||

What does that mean? "put him into cancel culture" | |||

When someone says something you don’t like or disagree with so it gets the automatic I’m done, he’s dead to me, no one should watch this idiot, without hearing it for themselves. Like I said Dave could be totally wrong but with the agenda driven media I don’t believe much until I have heard it first hand. As an example the author of the Chapelle article Madeleine Hubbard said she will not go to Starbucks because she wears a Star of David and she will get her coffee spit in by the Jew hating workers. | |||

Well he just signed his walking papers. Watch him fade to obscurity. He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||
