Dave Chappelle tackles the Israel-Hamas war onstage with a mixed reaction that included early exits

Dave Chappelle tackled the Israel-Hamas war at a show in Boston, getting a mixed reaction. Out of 17,000 people in the arena, about 200 left early.

Dave Chappelle, for the sake of riling people up — and, some maintain, for the sake of comedy — has made a number of questionable and offensive jokes in recent years. Case in point: his divisive transgender material. But he wasn't kidding around Thursday when, having taken the stage in Boston to entertain, he tackled the Israel-Hamas war. The controversial comedian's comments reportedly spurred some audience members to get up and leave.

Sarah Silverman and Amy Schumer have been vocal supporters of Israel and have accused pro-Palestinian advocates of antisemitism. Others, such as Palestinian American model Gigi Hadid and musical artists Kehlani, Noname and Lil Yachty have signaled their support for the Palestinians.
