Dave Chappelle criticized Israel's bombing of Gaza at a performance in Boston in which the comedian accused the U.S. of aiding the slaughter of innocent civilians. In the show at TD Garden on Thursday, Chappelle first condemned the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas militants, then criticized Israel for striking Gaza and killing people "while the whole world sits silently and watches," according to two people who attended. Audience members cheered Chappelle on and broke into chants of "Free Palestine,” to which Chappelle responded; "You’re damn right, Free Palestine," the attendees said. Chappelle discussed his Muslim faith, and toward the conclusion of his show, he said of Israeli policies and Hamas that two wrongs don't make a right, the people said. A spokeswoman for Chappelle didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
