Comedian Dave Chappelle recently addressed the contentious issue of the Israel-Hamas conflict during a show at the TD Garden Arena in Boston. As documented by CBS News, Chappelle's remarks triggered controversy and even prompted some audience members to depart.

Chappelle condemned Israel's actions in Gaza, describing them as "war crimes," and criticized the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. He also castigated the U.S. for its support of Israel. Despite a mixed reception to Chappelle's observations on the conflict, various audience members heckled the performer, with some even opting to exit the show.

The Hindustan Times reported Chappelle's insinuation that Israeli government was indirectly causing the deaths of innocent women and children with American taxpayer funds. He also reprimanded Israel for interrupting the supply of electricity and water in Gaza, leading to a varied reaction amongst the crowd.
