"Normalizing a genocide". Jerry Seinfeld is causing discomfort at the Commedia a La Carte Fest

RTP Notícias5 September 2026 at 17:10

Actress Inês Aires Pereira announced that she will not participate in the Commedia a La Carte Fest festival, expressing solidarity with Palestine and refusing to "normalize a genocide". The actress's decision comes in protest against the presence of Jerry Seinfeld as a guest of the event.

Jerry Seinfeld, well-known American comedian, is one of the guests of the festival. The article states that Seinfeld defends Israel, refers to Palestine as non-existent, and compared pro-Palestinian movements to the Ku Klux Klan.

The actress's position contrasts with that of the comedian, who has been criticized for his statements about the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Inês Aires Pereira's decision to boycott the event aims to express her political position on the situation in Palestine.
