Dave Chappelle has angered many in the Jewish community after his remarks on Israel -- but one group advocating for them is extending an olive branch if he's willing to chat.

American Jewish Committee spokesperson Richard Hirschhaut tells TMZ ... they'd love to have a sit-down with Dave to help him understand why so many people were upset, and how he can better navigate this topic next time around.

The AJC, a global advocacy organization, says Dave's first attempt to discuss Israel-Palestine -- during his Boston show last week -- missed the mark and adds ... "Dave Chappelle prides himself on precision of language and moral clarity. His comments uttered during last Friday's show at TD Garden failed on both counts."

They tell us his initial condemnation of Hamas was great -- but that he should have stopped there. AJC continues, "By criticizing Israel's retaliatory strikes and accusing the US of aiding the slaughter of innocent people, Chappelle turns truth on its head. Make no mistake, the slaughter of innocents is precisely what Hamas did on October 7th."

Of course, there've been innocent Palestinians who've been killed in the aftermath of all this as well -- upwards of 4,300, in fact, depending on which tallies you look at. The original Hamas attack claimed around 1,400 or so innocent Israeli lives.

In any case, the AJC thinks DC needs to be more precise with his language -- and they also believe he should know better at such a volatile time. According to them, his encouraging of people to shout "Free Palestine" creates a hostile and dangerous environment for Jewish people, and they say if that happens again, it's incumbent on him to ask what that means.

In their mind, the answer is obvious ... Free Palestine boils down to eliminating Israel.

Still, Richard says his org "would welcome an opportunity to meet with Chappelle and his team in an effort to help deepen his understanding of the current situation and enable him to be a source of more light than heat going forward."

Based on Dave's track record with other controversies ... the AJC probably shouldn't hold its collective breath. He doesn't tend to apologize, nor does he often feel the need to sit down with anyone after something like this.

Bad Bunny se hizo cargo de "SNL" el sábado por la noche a lo grande, como anfitrión y como invitado musical, compartiendo escenario con otras grandes celebridades.

Su monólogo de apertura fue hilarante; Pedro Pascal sirvió de "traductor" para Bad Bunny, quien, fiel a su estilo, pronunció su monólogo en español. Bad Bunny ha dicho en repetidas ocasiones, que no le gusta complacer al público angloparlante, ya que piensa en español, come en español y canta en español.

Todo fue muy gracioso, Pedro le pidió a Bad Bunny que mostrara una foto vergonzosa de él, pero el rapero respondió: "No se pudo encontrar nada".

Los comentarios de Dave Chappelle sobre Israel/Palestina provocaron que algunos miembros del público se marcharan luego de decir que Israel está equivocado en este conflicto.

El comediante hizo los comentarios inflamatorios jueves durante un show en Boston (donde los teléfonos celulares fueron confiscados) y de acuerdo con el Wall Street Journal, se metió en el tema de Oriente Medio hacia el final de su set, donde parecía mayormente del lado de Palestina.

Según personas que estaban presentes, Dave empezó diciendo que los estudiantes que apoyan públicamente a Palestina no deberían perder sus ofertas de trabajo (algo que ha estado ocurriendo últimamente), lo que le llevó a abordar de lleno la lucha que está teniendo lugar en el extranjero.

Al parecer, condenó el ataque terrorista contra Israel que fue llevado a cabo por Hamás, pero luego dijo que la respuesta a los palestinos en Gaza ha sido desproporcionada, acusando a Israel de cometer crímenes de guerra con su campaña de bombardeos e incluso afirmando que los EE.UU. era responsable de ayudar e instigar "la matanza de civiles inocentes".

En medio de estos comentarios, alguien del público le dijo que se callara, lo que al parecer le molestó y le hizo responder, aunque no está claro lo que dijo exactamente.

Sin embargo, Lo que WSJ dice que se comunicó, fue que Dave estaba enojado por que Israel cortó el agua y la electricidad en Gaza al mismo tiempo que atacaba con explosivos.

Como resultado de esto, dividió a la audiencia, algunos aplaudieron "Free Palestine" y otros se opusieron con preguntas sobre Hamás. Al final, algunas personas se levantaron y se fueron. Dave, mientras tanto, supuestamente terminó diciendo que dos errores no hacen un acierto.

Dave Chappelle's comments on Israel-Palestine caused some attendees of a recent comedy show of his to walk out -- and it's because he said Israel is in the wrong in this conflict.

The comedian made the inflammatory remarks Thursday during a show in Boston -- where cell phones were confiscated -- and according to the Wall Street Journal ... he got into the Middle East topic toward the end of his set, where he seemed to mostly side with Palestine.

Per people who were apparently in attendance, DC launched in on this by first saying students who are publicly supporting Palestine shouldn't lose job offers -- which has been a thing lately -- which then led him to fully address the fighting going on overseas.

He reportedly condemned the terrorist attack on Israel that was carried out by Hamas, but then said the response/retaliation to Palestinians in Gaza has been disproportionate -- accusing Israel of committing war crimes with their bombing campaign ... and even claiming the U.S. was responsible for aiding and abetting "the slaughter of innocent civilians."

Amid these remarks, somebody in the audience told him to shut it ... which apparently ticked him off and caused him to lash out -- although what exactly he said isn't clear.

What WSJ says was communicated, generally, though was that Dave was angry about Israel cutting off water and electricity to Gaza ... while continuing to pound them with explosives.

As a result of this, it divided the audience ... some cheered "Free Palestine" and others pushed back with questions about Hamas. Eventually, some people straight up got up and left. Dave, meanwhile, supposedly ended by saying that two wrongs don't make a right.

Bad Bunny took over 'SNL' Saturday night in a big way, hosting AND performing as the musical guest, with lots of celeb firepower behind him.

His opening monologue was hilarious ... Pedro Pascal served as a "translator" for BB, who, true to form, delivered his monologue en Español. Bad Bunny has said repeatedly, he does not pander to English audiences. He says he thinks in Spanish, eats in Spanish and sings in Spanish.

Pretty funny ... Pedro asked Bad Bunny to show an embarrassing pic of him but BB replied, "Nothing could be found."

Bad Bunny brought his GF, Kendall Jenner, to 'SNL' .... she didn't appear on the show, but they were super tight during the after-party.

BB, Kendall and the cast, along with guest stars Pedro Pascal, Mick Jagger and Lady Gaga, all hit up L'Avenue in NYC after the show.

Bad Bunny and Kendall were dressed casually... she was wearing a leather jacket and boots as they walked hand in hand into the bash.

Gaga's entrance was revelatory. She was also hand in hand with her ex, Michael Polansky. The 2 have been spotted together recently but it seems pretty clear ... they're giving it another try.

Marlon Wayans says he should have never been hit with a citation for disturbing the peace at an airport earlier this year ... claiming it should be thrown out because his reaction was justified after being racially targeted.

The comedian's attorney filed to dismiss the case Thursday, saying the United Airlines agent at the Denver airport targeted him back in June based on his race.

Remember, Marlon wasn't allowed to board his flight to Kansas City with 3 bags, and was removed from the aircraft after getting into it with the agent while trying to consolidate to 2 bags.

His attorney also said several white passengers with 3 bags were allowed to board the plane while his client was receiving the heat.

Marlon was hit with a citation for disturbing the peace ... but his attorney says Denver prosecutors would be turning a blind eye to blatant racial targeting if they don't dismiss the case.

Marlon joined us on "TMZ Live" just days after the incident, breaking down what happened from his perspective -- and telling us the company did reach out to him, but only to back their own policy.

A woman says she spent 15 years getting payback from a man who spit on her friend long, long ago ... doing everything from spoiling shows to torpedoing his wedding.

TikToker Linda Solley Hurd says it all started a decade and a half ago at a comedy show, where one of her friends accidentally spilled a drink on the guy -- claiming he called her a "stupid fat b****" and spit on her for additional bad measure.

Linda was out for revenge! She found his Facebook page ... and after some digging, discovered his favorite shows were "The Walking Dead" and "Breaking Bad" -- 2 shows that you'd never want spoiled, right?

She decided to torture the dude by creating fake accounts and spamming him with spoilers as soon as each episode would drop.

It didn't stop with the Rick Grimes & Walter White rage ... she says she ended up in the same class as him not long after, getting more info on him and doing even MORE trolling.

Linda says she backed off for around 8 years ... but then learned the guy got engaged to a friend of a friend of hers, so she came out of trolling retirement for more revenge.

She gave the guy's fiancee the tea on what he had done to her friend, and apparently, that was enough for her to pull the plug on the wedding.

It's enough to make you stop drinking.

Adam Sandler está definitivamente en sintonía con su público. Hizo una pausa en un show para ayudar a un fan que sufría una emergencia médica en la multitud.

El comediante estaba actuando en el SAP Center de San José el miércoles por la noche cuando todo se detuvo. Nos dicen que Adam escuchó a un miembro de la audiencia gritando "emergencia médica" y detuvo todo el asunto para asegurarse de que reciba asistencia.

No mucho después, las luces se encendieron y todo el mundo esperó hasta que los paramédicos fueron capaces de llegar hasta la fan en peligro. Adam ayudó a guiar a los médicos hasta la persona.

Fuentes relacionadas con el show le informan a TMZ que la actuación estuvo en suspenso durante unos diez minutos y el hombre que tenía la emergencia estaba deshidratado.

Adam Sandler is definitely in tune with his audience ... pressing pause on a recent show for a fan suffering a medical emergency in the crowd.

The comedian was performing at SAP Center in San Jose Wednesday night when he brought everything to a screeching halt -- we're told Adam heard an audience member yelling "medical emergency" and stopped the whole thing to make sure the fan got assistance.

Not long after, the lights came up and everyone waited until paramedics were able to get to the fan in distress ... Adam helped guide the medics to the person in need.

Sources connected to the show tell TMZ ... the performance was on hold for about 10 minutes, and the man who had the emergency was believed to have been dehydrated while in the crowd but is doing fine.

Adam's been hitting the road for his "I Missed You" tour, performing standup and some of his most popular songs from over the years ... rest assured, his audience will be taken care of.

Michael Jordan got the red carpet rolled out for him at Usher's show over the weekend ... getting prime seats, a shoutout during the concert -- and even a sexy dance from Tiffany Haddish!!!

His Airness pulled up to the "Let It Burn" crooner's performance at Park MGM in Las Vegas on Saturday ... and almost immediately, king treatment commenced.

Jordan, his wife and a couple other friends were walked to some chairs in a VIP area that seemed to feature bottle service.

Then, as Usher was singing, Haddish cruised over to Jordan's group to give the NBA legend a show of her own ... gyrating in front of the former Chicago Bulls star -- while he clapped and laughed.

Usher himself then made sure Jordan felt special in the audience ... pausing his whole act to acknowledge that the hooper was in attendance.

"We love you, Mike," he screamed as everyone went crazy.

Of course, the conduct toward MJ shouldn't surprise anyone ... after all, he's the NBA's G.O.A.T. -- and he and Usher are longtime pals.

In fact, they famously collaborated to make an ultra-rare version of one of Jordan's signature shoes back in 2014 -- kicks that Usher actually broke out during Saturday's show.

"I'm putting them on because I want to be like Mike!" Usher said.

Pete Davidson delivered a truly heartfelt display of his feelings about the war in Israel during the cold open of the show, and he has a rare perspective that makes everything he said compelling.

Pete, at first he was a good person to talk about the inhumane Hamas terrorist attack and the ensuing war. As you know, Pete's dad, a NYC firefighter, died during 9/11 when Pete was only 7, so he knows what a terrorist attack can do on the surviving family, especially kids.

His heart breaks for all the death of innocent people, especially both Israeli and Palestinian children. He told the audience, no one deserves to suffer like this, especially kids.

He goes on to say his heart breaks for everyone whose lives were destroyed.

His opening monologue was raunchy. Pete says he and his sister have nothing in common, so they decided to bond by watching "Game of Thrones," and the whole incest thing came up which made things super uncomfortable! And then he gets even wilder.

He was super good ... especially in the cold open.

As we told you, both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made cameos on the show and hit the town hand-in-hand.

They chowed down at Nobu in NYC before the show.

Pete Davidson dijo unas palabras muy sentidas acerca de la guerra en Israel durante el show y tiene una perspectiva poco común que hace que todo lo que dijo sea convincente.

Pete era el indicado para hablar sobre el inhumano ataque terrorista de Hamás y la guerra posterior. Por si no lo sabías, el padre de Pete era bombero de Nueva York y murió durante el 11-S cuando Pete solo tenía 7 años, así que sabe muy bien lo que un ataque terrorista puede causar, especialmente a los niños.

Su corazón se rompe por todas las muertes de inocentes, especialmente de niños israelíes y palestinos. Dijo al público que nadie merece sufrir así, especialmente los niños.

Continúa diciendo que su corazón se rompe por todas las vidas destruidas.

Su monólogo inicial fue intenso. Pete dijo que él y su hermana no tienen nada en común, así que decidieron unirse como familia viendo "Juego de Tronos". La famosa serie sirvió de trampolín para bromear con el incesto generando un momento incómodo. Sin embargo, las cosas se pusieron aún más salvajes.

Como informamos, tanto Taylor Swift como Travis Kelce hicieron cameos en el programa y llegaron a la ciudad de la mano.

Comieron en Nobu (Nueva York) antes del show.

Aquí está el Lamborghini Aventador SVJ de Tracy Morgan viajando por la interestatal ... ¡el problema es que el automóvil supercostoso está viajando sobre la plataforma de una grúa después de sufrir un caro golpe!

TMZ obtuvo fotografías del Lamborghini 2020 de Tracy siendo remolcado en la Ciudad de Nueva York ... y como pueden ver, en el lado izquierdo del vehículo deportivo se pueden ver unos rayones blancos que NO son marcas de rayas deportivas.

Parece que otro conductor le dio un golpe de costado o Tracy raspó algo - de cualquier forma, no será barato arreglar ese trabajo de pintura.

Las fotografías fueron tomadas el pasado domingo y Tracy fue visto conduciendo el vehículo con un valor de 500 000 dólares durante el fin de semana en la Gran Manzana ... por lo que el daño es reciente.

Es más mala suerte para la costosa colección de automóviles costosos de Tracy ... como lo informamos por primera vez, en 2019 estrelló su nuevo Bugatti tan solo minutos después de sacar el látigo de 2 millones de dólares de una sala de exhibición de la Ciudad de Nueva York.

Las reparaciones del Bugatti de Tracy ascendieron a 32 000 dólares para arreglar el parachoques y el guardabarros ... y es muy probable que las reparaciones del Lamborghini asciendan a otras 5 cifras.

Tracy tuvo más problemas con su Lamborghini en abril de 2020 ... entablando un acalorado altercado con un peatón después de un presunto choque.

Here's Tracy Morgan's Lamborghini Aventador SVJ traveling down the interstate ... problem is, the super expensive ride's cruising on a flatbed tow truck after sustaining a very expensive ding!

TMZ obtained photos of Tracy's 2020 Lambo getting towed in New York City ... and as you can see, it the left side of the sportscar has some white streaks that are NOT racing stripes.

It appears another driver sideswiped it, or Tracy scraped something -- either way, it won't be cheap to fix that paint job.

The photos were snapped last Sunday and Tracy was spotted driving the $500,000 car over the weekend in the Big Apple ... so the damage is fresh.

It's more bad luck for Tracy's expensive car collection ... as we first reported, back in 2019 he crashed his brand new Bugatti only minutes after driving the $2 million whip out of a NYC showroom.

Tracy's Bugatti repairs ran upwards of $32,000 to fix the bumper and the fender ... and it's a good bet the Lambo repairs will be another 5-figure tab.

Tracy had more trouble with his Lambo in April 2020 ... getting into a heated conversation with a pedestrian after an alleged collision.
