Cornel West, the prominent philosopher, political activist, and independent candidate in the 2024 US presidential election, spoke to Al Jazeera about his support for Palestinian rights. He emphasized the need to differentiate between criticizing Israeli policies and harbouring anti-Jewish sentiment, pointing out the suffering and oppression experienced by both African Americans and Jews throughout history. West strongly condemned the ongoing Israeli assault in Gaza, describing it as a barbaric and genocidal attack on the dignity and humanity of the Palestinian people. He highlighted the importance of advocating for Palestinian rights without being unfairly accused of being anti-Jewish.

ユダヤ人が憎いんじゃない。占領が、虐殺が、憎いのだ。
これに賛同できない人は人間性を失った人なのだと思う。
Always joining someone else fight, but no one comes to our aid.
The brave and righteous man.
Just ask god to come down to settle this conflict which god had created in the first place.
Israel war is a war against pregnant women , sleeping children , hospitals , U.N. staff , doctors , journalists , and against humanity
They can fool everyone and themselves too but not Allah
He knows everything about our true intention.
antisemitism = antisatanism & not antijudaism.
You know your movement is full of clowns when Cornell West speaks on its behalf. BLM, Free Palestine, Alphabet People are all the same leftists funded by Soros and the NWO
Thank you Cornel. The issue is not Judaism or Israel, but definitely the powerful Zionist lobby groups in both the USA and Israel. Zionism is another form of terrorism, that deflates all chances of world peace.
Don’t Be Fooled Israeli Baby Incubators have Listening Devices, Targeting Software And Sizograph Ground Penetrating Radar Built In To Them To See And Hear Underground. That’s Why Israel Won’t Just Allow Fuel In Gaza To Just Turn On The Incubators The Palestinian Hospitals Already Have. Don’t Be Fooled. Spread The Word.
I’d love to see more white people for Palestine. If you’re not white, you can talk all day, but your words won’t be heard.
Free Palestine from Terrorism
Speaking of genocide is very very good. But doing nothing to stop it is a crime.
Gaza was simply ignored by the Muslim community. You can they where cheated by all.
After Bernie Sanders horrid view on this genocide, I’d rather vote for this man!
People like you are curse on your own heritage.
Don’t let nobody tell you that you hate Jews because your want Palestinians to be liberated! Period!
Moral bankruptcy Moral compass thrown out of the windows nowadays! Have mercy on us all sinners! K
Thank you Cornell for being blind in one eye and not in another. You completely exemplify what is absolutely wrong with a certain minority of people in the U.S. and the world.
J.Accuse: the ONLY democracy in the m.east……Genocide, by any other name…!
Israel claims to be a white Jew only state, so how does Cornel square with that 😅

israeli genocide
I’m black and I support PALESTINE.
Free Palestine
If Jesus was around today he would be speaking like this. Simple. Humanity is precious and life is precious.
I have a theory about why the world is gone so evil and there are wars and rumours of wars. The world is run by psychopaths. World leaders are predominantly psychopaths. And what is a psychopath. A person who has no capacity to feel empathy. They are incapable of empath. And what is empathy. Empathy is when you feel the pain and suffering that other people are enduring to the point where you want to help them to stop it.
Morals breeds terrorism in the world. Compassion has led to barbarism and continue hatred as freedom of speech. What is happening in America is enough lesson to bring just a moral leader but a strong personality like Donald Trump who’ll stop the rising of terrorism that has led to collateral damaged. He’s too weak to wear the cap.
Cornel needs to hire International lawyers and put a case against US government for genocide .
I don’t hate I love all but there doing onto to what they where done like a repeat of the holocaust free Palestine🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
He is a disgrace to black people. Joe Biden 2024!
Big difference between Jews and Zionist occupiers. Some of the most outspoken people that’s against this genocide are fellow Jews.
RFK proved to be captured just like his predecessors… Cornel West is the most sober minded man to lead an influential country like America, for main reason, is that we are tired of war mongers… And RFK already proved to be a war monger – by saying give Israel ‘AID’ in the form of arms, means you are in favour of spilling of innocent blood.
Israel is full so of hate, that they only see hate
Where is Minister Farakhan? His silence is deafening right now.
He dont know what teror is !
That the only way the Hamas understand , words means nothing to them , Cornel West means good but he has no idea !
The world is being led by psychopaths, and we are witnessing a catastrophe in front of our eyes, live on television, and no one is doing anything to stop it. How can people just watch this and still do nothing? where are our Arab brothers?
So this is why the artificial intelligence hides programmes with Cornell West. The DEEP STATE is killing children in their homes.
Bulshit
Cornel west is my president
He is a moral man
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere “
African need to go back to Africa – New York deport them !! and save your country from migrants
scruffy man, bird nest hair🤑
Judea and Samari did exist
why ajezeera is doing hide and put back hamas terror
This is what a moral leader sounds like.
Cornel 2024!
Cornel West 2024!
👍👍
Fast very dangerous Saudi King.?
You are my president 2024
Hats off for this big hearted man! Free Free Free Palestine!
He’s a joke and irrelevant
The Zionists will never let Cornel become POTUS . Dark forces always at work
“I find it interesting Cornell…”. You lost me right there. Where are your manners lady? If you won’t respect the man’s PhD, at least respect the fact that he’s nearly 3 times your age. You shouldn’t disrespect him like that. Anyways…
💚💚DR WEST FOR PRESIDENT 2024 💚💚
The two magical words that Israel can use to get away with anything are: anti Semitism
Third parties and independents, even if they poll in the single digits, are a threat to the corporate duopoly because they back reforms, such as increasing tax rates for corporations and the rich, which have broad public support. They expose the corruption of a system that, without funding from billionaires and corporations, would collapse. On nearly every major issue — war, trade policies, militarized police, suppression of the minimum wage, hostility towards unions, revoking of civil liberties, gouging of the public by big banks, credit card companies, big pharma and the healthcare industry — there is little or no difference between the Republicans and the Democrats.
Monolithic power always confuses privilege with moral and intellectual superiority. It silences critics and reformers. It champions bankrupt ideologies, such as neoliberalism, to justify its omnipotence. It fosters intolerance and a craving for autocracy. These closed systems throughout history, whether monarchical or totalitarian, ossify into bastions of greed, plunder, mediocrity and repression. They lead inevitably to tyranny or revolution. There are no other options. Voting for Biden and the Democrats will accelerate the process. Voting for Cornel will defy it.
-Chris Hedges
Dr Cornel.West for US president 2024❤
He has not one piece of legislation that will get passed in Congress. HE is not a viable candidate.. I’m not wasting my time with performances
Stop Genocide and massacre in Gaza
Kanye + Cornel WEST!!!!
Cornel west balmes the genocide of Palestnians on israelis. As proffesor, he should be ashemd of himself. Acording to the geneva conventions the respopnsibility of any genocide on the palestinians is on Hamas. Here is the The Geneva Convention
Article 18
………..States which are Parties to a conflict shall provide all civilian hospitals with certificates showing that they are civilian hospitals and that the buildings which they occupy are not used for any purpose which would deprive these hospitals of protection in accordance with Article 19.………..
Article 19
The protection to which civilian hospitals are entitled shall not cease unless they are used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts harmful to the enemy. Protection may, however, cease only after due warning has been given, naming, in all appropriate cases, a reasonable time limit, and after such warning has remained unheeded.
The fact that sick or wounded members of the armed forces are nursed in these hospitals, or the presence of small arms and ammunition taken from such combatants which have not yet been handed to the proper service, shall not be considered to be acts harmful to the enemy.
Great leader 👏
He should be president
Vote for him
I believe if this goes on like this in us house of representatives, US will give birth of independence from democrats and republicans.
Gracias Coronel
West
WE LOVE YOU Mr Cornel West, WE WILL VOTE FOR YOU, I HOPE ALL AMERICANS WILL VOTE FOR YOU, YOU REMIND ME OF Mr. Nelson Mandela
The use of the word antisemitism is used to cover up any atrocities the Israelis commit… Antisemitism is not ripe in our age. Also the utilising of the Holocaust memory in order to provoke shame and sympathy and in order to deter the onlooker from the obvious truth that Israel is the one at this point of history who is antiislamic who run an apartheid state who brutalises the Palestinian people and who commits genocide aca holocaust. Let the truth be spoken and seen there is no room in our day and age for this kinds of crimes against humanity. How much innocent Palestinian blood must be spilled to wash the pain of the last centuries persecution of the Jews.
God bless Cornel West. 75 years of illegal occupaiton is enough. Free Palestine from the River to the Sea. The US media is nothing but lies and hipocracies.
He’s a stupid man.
Educated at both Harvard and Princeton and taught at the most elite universities in the world but he’s stupid???
No one outside the USA trusts the gun country
Cornel West is absolutely speaking the truth. He is a exceedingly intelligent, courageous and compassionate scholar and world leader that needs to be heard. The world is going morally bankrupt. We must turn things around if we are to salvage our humanity.
why are they protest thousands of miles away, when they all could get on a plane and go to the middle east or even Gazza and do some real stuff or is it like the hamas leaders hiding away in another country….in my book that is a yellow yellow coward, just like their media supporters…
If I were in the US I’d give it to him 👏 He’s not wild like the others and he’s honest.
Protect this guy by all means. The only voice that spits common sense nowadays…!!
Great man.
Cornel West 2024!!
It’s unreal what’s happening because there’s push back against the Jewish Agenda.
Suddenly they don’t feel safe! Give me a break. The atrocities against Palestinians in Palestine that have been taking place since Israel’s inception is criminal. If your Jewish and supporting Israel, supporting Israel’s policies, supporting Apartheid then maybe you should not feel safe. So sorry it’s uncomfortable, maybe you should pressure your laws makers to force Israel to change it’s position, acceptance of a two state solution & Israel defanged of it’s nuclear arsenal. Removal of the so called settlements in the west bank, it’s stealing land that does not belong to Israel. The list goes on and on. Israel is a monster state and has been protected by it’s diaspora & ownership of Western Media & News Print that has masked Israel’s criminal behavior since it’s founding. Again, so sorry if you don’t feel safe!
This is so obvious we dont hate Jewish people because we want to stop Genocide in Palestine ❤❤❤❤

I’m becoming an independent and voting for Cornel West. I am a Democrat but I’m sorry the democratic party and Joe Biden blew it.
Thank you for running for president. You bring hope to so many who are voiceless and invisible. And thank you for insisting on the preciousness of life that doesn’t look like the western conception of a worthy life.
Netanyahu is a biggest fool Israel have in power , He will drag this war as much as he can so he wont be thrown out , Meanwhile he is creating more Hamas members for future of Israel to deal with.
Respect cornel west ..❤
Israel’s Genocide of Palestinians is a Holocaust.
All the Israeli lies and Propaganda cant hide it
Amen! This man has my hote!
