Cornel West Ripped over ‘Pitiful’ Pro-Hamas Rant Attacking ‘American Empire’ for Backing ‘Genocidal Attacks’ in Gaza
Breitbart ^ | 11/14/2023 | JOSHUA KLEIN

Prominent progressive activist and independent presidential candidate Cornel West is facing backlash after declaring his solidarity with “anybody who’s occupied” — claiming that his “people,” too, have “dished out love warriors and freedom fighters,” as he attacked the “American empire” and “cowards in Washington, DC,” for their unwillingness to capitulate to Hamas’s demand for a ceasefire.

Speaking at a pro-Palestinian rally in front of the UN headquarters in New York on Saturday, Ivy League professor Dr. Cornel West described being from a “people who, for 400 years, have been terrorized, traumatized, and hated.”

Because, he argued, he comes from a people that “dish out love warriors and freedom fighters every generation…we stand in solidarity with anybody who’s occupied, anybody who’s subjugated, anybody who’s exploited.”

The same movement that despises Israel is the same movement that despises the US.

This is what Unites us.

Democrats liberals and progressives feel that both the US and Israel are on stolen land with no right to exist.

They work towards that goal.

And worse we let them

West has had a very successful career of playing radical chic with the academic faculty lounge lizards who live their fantasies of revolution vicariously through designated black people.

Yeah, because I guess the Jews were never a “people who, for 400 years, have been terrorized, traumatized, and hated.”

1948 to 2023 is 400 years?

Rants like this could hurt Biden...Cornel West could get a lot more votes in 2024 at Biden's expense.

" stand in solidarity with anybody who’s occupied, anybody who’s subjugated, anybody who’s exploited.”

Well, cornelius, baby, that, pretty much sums up most of Jewish history for the few thousand years, they being the victims, so, I guess you're good with them?/sarc
