Comedian Dave Chappelle accused Israel this week of committing a genocide in Gaza while performing a show in the Middle East.

The National reported that the 50-year-old, who is Muslim, claimed in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, that what was happening in Gaza was a result of anti-Semitism in the West.

Chappelle’s remarks come after Palestinian Islamic terrorists in Hamas launched an unprecedented terrorist on October 7 against Israel, murdering 1,200+ people, wounding 5,300+, kidnapping hundreds, and engaging in a campaign of rape against women and girls.

“What is happening in Gaza is a direct result of anti-Semitism in the West,” he claimed. “If you are in America, the best thing you can do is to make American Jews feel safe, feel loved and supported so they can know they don’t have to support a country that is committing genocide just to feel safe.”

During his show, a DJ played a song titled “My Blood is Palestinian,” and people in the crowd screamed “Free Palestine!” during the show.

The New York Times previously reported that Chappelle requires everyone in the audience to surrender their phones at his shows so he cannot be recorded.

Reports surfaced just a few weeks after the October 7 massacre that he reportedly stood up for students who were facing fewer job prospects after they cheered on the slaughter of Israelis at the hands of the genocidal Palestinian terrorists.

A member of the audience was apparently stern with Chappelle, telling him to shut up, which sparked an “emotional response” from Chappelle as he allegedly attacked Israel for cutting off supplies to the area, which is controlled by Hamas.

Some in the audience reportedly shouted “Free Palestine,” triggering some fans to get up and leave the event.

He later reportedly tried to draw a false moral equivalence between Israel’s policies and Hamas’ heinous terrorist attacks.

One man who attended the event told the Daily Mail: “The audience was cheering Chappelle on during his tirade. I was sick. We were sick. I turned to my friends and wife and said I think it is time to go.”

“We walked out and met up with many other Jews leaving the show,” he continued. “Never in my life have I felt so unsafe and so fearful of what I was witnessing.”

Dave Chappelle attempted to address the controversy at the time by saying: “Right now, I’m in trouble because the Jewish community is upset. But I cannot express this enough: No matter what you read about that show in Boston, you will never see quotation marks around anything I said. They don’t know what I said.”

Professional golfer Grayson Murray died just hours after withdrawing from the Charles Schwab Challenge due to an illness, the PGA Tour announced on Saturday. He was 30 years old.

Murray, who won the 2017 Barbasol Championship and the Sony Open earlier this year, battled anxiety, depression, and alcohol abuse early throughout his young career, CBS Sports reported. The pro-golfer from North Carolina said in January that he had been sober since early 2023. Murray was a standout golfer from a young age, becoming the second-youngest golfer to make the cut on the Korn Ferry Tour at just 16 years old.

“We were devastated to learn — and are heartbroken to share — that PGA Tour player Grayson Murray passed away this morning. I am at a loss for words,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement. “The PGA Tour is a family, and when you lose a member of your family, you are never the same. We mourn Grayson and pray for comfort for his loved ones.”

“I reached out to Grayson’s parents to offer our deepest condolences, and during that conversation, they asked that we continue with tournament play,” Monahan added. “They were adamant that Grayson would want us to do so. As difficult as it will be, we want to respect their wishes.”

Murray’s death was announced on CBS’ broadcast of the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas, with CBS commentator Jim Nantz saying that the PGA Tour offered to Murray’s family to “stop play.”

“The family was, again, adamant that Grayson — and the family — wants the tournament to go on,” Nantz said. “Grayson Murray gone way too soon at the age of 30. It’s a sad day on the PGA Tour.”

After he got sober last year, Murray said his faith and his fiancee helped him battle through.

“It took me a long time to get to this point,” he said in January. “… I’m a different man now. I would not be in this position right now today if I didn’t put that drink down eight months ago.”

“People who don’t know me, I’ll have to show it through my actions, and they’ll get back on Grayson’s side,” he added. “My demeanor is so much better. It’s really a lot of fun now. I really don’t live and die by a golf shot anymore. I’m not going to sit here and say it’s going to be all glory and roses, but it’s going to be a lot better.”
