Dave Chappelle has given his opinions on Israel and Gaza at his latest standup show and it didn't go down well.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the comedian took time out of his routine to comment on the unfolding crisis happening in the Middle East.
Hamas launched a terror attack on Israel earlier this month and more than 1,400 people were killed.

Israel has retaliated by sending a barrage of airstrikes into Gaza and those missiles have killed more than 5,000 people in the besieged territory.
There's now a humanitarian crisis in Gaza as tens of thousands of people are displaced after the air campaign destroyed their homes.
Plenty of celebrities have spoken out about all the events that have happened since October 7.

However, it seems like not everyone was a fan of what Chappelle had to say.
During his performance in Boston, he reportedly condemned the Hamas attack but also criticized Israel for cutting off water and other essential elements to Gaza.
The Wall Street Journal cited people who were in attendance and the outlet says Chappelle accused Israel of killing innocent people.
"Toward the conclusion of his show, he said of Israeli policies and the Hamas attacks that two wrongs don't make a right," the outlet wrote.
He even reportedly said what Israel was doing in Gaza amounted to 'war crimes'.

The comments came after he said American students shouldn't be losing jobs if they publicly back Palestine.
Fox News says three students were denied jobs at top law firms because they signed a letter supporting the territory.
When Chappelle said this was the wrong move, one of the audience members told the comedian to 'shut up'.
There were a few hecklers, with some yelling 'free Palestine' and others saying 'what about Hamas'.

The Wall Street Journal says several people walked out in protest against the comments.
However, in an email to the outlet, a representative for the comedian said he wasn't in Boston that night.
That's despite sports talk show host Jim Murray saying he saw him perform.
He posted a photo of Dave on stage and said: "Chappelle was a 10/10. But if you’re going Friday night and the crowd is anything like tonight — good luck.

"You’d have thought it was the first night out of the house since the pandemic for these slobs.”
UNILAD has reached out to Chappelle's representatives for comment.
