Comedian Dave Chappelle made it clear during his recent performance in North Carolina that the reports surrounding his comments on the Israel-Hamas conflict in Boston were based on unreliable information. He emphasized that there were no direct quotations of what he said during the Boston show and suggested that people didn't accurately know his words.
According to The New York Times, during the Boston show, some members of the audience left when Chappelle brought up the topic of the Middle East. He mentioned that he had made a comment about Palestine, which was later misquoted globally, and he chose not to repeat the specific statement.
During the North Carolina show, a woman in the audience shouted "Free Palestine" in response to his previous mention of the topic. Chappelle, in response, asked her not to start a controversy, as he wanted to avoid being in the news cycle for another week. He acknowledged the gravity of the situation in Israel and Palestine, describing it as a "nightmare."
Chappelle expressed a universal message of compassion, stating that there are two types of people in the world: those who love others and those who let fear prevent them from loving others. He encouraged people to pray for both Israel and Palestine, recognizing the enormity of the situation.
It's worth noting that Chappelle has a policy of not allowing phones at his shows, which means there is no audio or visual recording of the Boston performance.
