The conditions have their conditions.

Perhaps that's why some of the richest, most successful guys with the most access to resources will still choose to be in a jail of their own making?

"Jerry Seinfeld Compares ‘Free Palestine’ Movement to K.K.K., report says"

"In a statement on Thursday, Duke University said that it did “not preview nor approve the remarks of outside speakers, and their presence on campus should not be understood as an endorsement of their views.”

“Universities are places where diverse perspectives on difficult and sensitive subjects are explored in a safe and respectful environment,” a university spokesperson said in the statement, noting that Mr. Seinfeld’s appearance “was not announced in advance so the focus could remain on Omer Shem Tov’s spiritual journey during captivity.”

Mr. Seinfeld, who reached the height of his fame in the 1990s with the sitcom “Seinfeld,” has been vocal about the conflict, publicly embracing his Jewish heritage and pushing back against critics of Israel. The latest comments left some student activists on campus “even more disheartened” about the university offering a forum for his pronouncements, they said in a joint statement released on social media on Thursday.

The groups responding included Duke Students for Justice in Palestine, Duke Muslim Student Association, Sunrise Duke and Duke Jewish Solidarity Movement. They said they were “deeply disturbed” by the comedian’s remarks.

“Equating a call for Palestinian freedom with violent white supremacy is not only wholly inaccurate but profoundly offensive,” the statement said, adding that to “suggest that ‘Free Palestine’ means hatred reduces a struggle for basic human rights and vilifies students who speak out for justice and dignity.”

Additionally, the groups said, Mr. Seinfeld’s comments “foster a hostile environment for Muslim, Arab, Palestinian, and allied students, leaving many feeling unsafe and unsupported on their own campus.”

In a new statement on Thursday, the groups Duke Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Solidarity Movement called his appearance “the platforming of pro-Israel narratives under the guise of neutrality.”

They accused Mr. Seinfeld of advancing “a false and dangerous binary” that does not represent “a wide spectrum of perspectives on Palestine.”

Mr. Seinfeld, who has two children who have attended Duke, had previously signed a letter in support of Israel and posted an earnest message on social media about his devotion to the country."
