Dave Chappelle triggers WALKOUT from Boston show after comedian slammed Hamas attacks on Israel, Israel for cutting off water to Gaza and said pro-Palestine students should not lose job offers
Dave Chappelle, 50, aired his views about the conflict in the Middle East during his performance at the TD Garden arena on Thursday
He slammed Israel over its response to the attack by Hamas which has included over 6,000 bombs dropped on Gaza in less than a week
Chappelle also accused the US of aiding the slaughter of innocent civilians during his show and said war crimes were taking place in Gaza
----------------
Chappelle condemned the Hamas attacks on October 7, in which 1,400 Israelis were killed and another 200 were taken hostage, before he slammed Israel's military response, according to audience members.
An audience member told the comedian to shut up and an emotional Chappelle criticized the Israeli government for cutting off water, along with fuel and electricity that power water and sewage plants.
It had also blocked off humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza from Israel.
There were cheers from some audience members who shouted 'Free Palestine' while others reacted with 'What about Hamas?'
Chappelle's comments led to some people in the crowd getting up and leaving his show.
Near the end of his performance, he said two wrongs don't make a right in reference to the Hamas attacks and Israel's response.

OP
"Two wrongs don't make a right" is a playground platitude. Pretty irrelevant and irresponsible
