“Jews are human beings that have the capacity to commit genocide like any other slice of humanity.”
American philosopher Cornel West says using the term “anti-Semitic” doesn’t absolve Israel of responsibility, especially in the context of its war on Gaza.

An excellent summation. Thank you.
I couldn’t explain it better 👍🏽👍🏽
Govt by People’s Referenda:
Peaceful Encampment of our Capitals until it’s installed, or run Mascot Candidates
Single Issue Referendums with thresholds and a social contract means Communities can vote their own laws.
A Public Authority can audit police and prosecute bad cops in our own courts.
Nationalise resources and give Indigenous peoples the right of Sovereignty over them as Guardians.
This can be achieved through a General Strike or Velvet Revolution, much like the Occupy movement, peacefully occupying State Buildings until a People’s Mandate can be implemented.
With the appropriate checks and balances, you could have a national digital forum where qualified professionals can debate the issues in a public setting without all the disinformation and bad faith antics, hatespeech etc.
Any vote would need to pass the 70% threshold, with a veto or _rewrite_ vote needing 30%.
The issues would be debated, the public educated, and then a vote taken. Votes that fail will have to wait a year before trying again. Any new proposal (Citizen Initiated Referendum) would have to reach a threshold of support before it made it onto the register.
This would be subject to a Social Contract (New Constitution) that forbids human rights abuses and discrimination.
That can be written in the same manner based on the core principles we all share. Councils and Boards could operate in the same fashion at Scale.
It works in a way that obligates people to better educate themselves ( that is to use logic and evidence in their reasoning ) for a better understanding of the issues, and then take collective responsibility for the outcomes. As opposed to the divisive US v them scapegoating and bi-partisan finger pointing the current Capitalist Pyramid Scheme runs on.
Enough is enough
We need Government by People’s Referenda, either through Mascot Candidates or Peaceful Encampment of the Capitals until one is established.
Make it an annual event on Oct 14
Calling Israel a country is like saying a Burglar owns your house
You know they paid for it, right?
They are a People and also they are one of the oldest Nations in the world if you know true History
@@nathanbarnhart7823 They paid for it?
@@nathanbarnhart7823paid who? 😂 answerrrrr
Paid for what?
This isn’t genocide though. That would mean that their goal is the extermination of civilians.
Bulldust! That would only happened in Christian countries. In Muslim countries Jews had a good life. Don’t recognise Zionists as Jews.
Exactly 💯 brother!!! AMEN!!! 🙏

@@arip9234You really are deluded
Another thing , why when you NaZion are together in pack or in your country you are evil , arrogant , distrusting behaviour , but if you alone or with other different grup of national you are so l timid . On you own quite and looks kind peaceful, don’t you think it’s abit sinister , why behave awkward .i really don’t understand
YUP !!!
Truth will always stand out..
Isreal is a made up country, it’s all Palestine.
That antisemitism is laughable is it antisemitic to say Epstein was a predator or Netenyhou is a zionaxi
The term antisemitism is abused nowadays the governments apply to anyone saying the truth
No one is accusing or blaming the Jews or any religion in that matter but the Zionists use it to silence the peoples of saying the truth which is the brutal war ( genoside) of Israeli on Palestinians
💯💯💯💯🌹✌️✌️
Are they traumatized because their grandparents been suffered the holocaust?? Or by repeating these events over and over again and using the past events to victimizing the terrorist action of Israel now
The population of Germany was not reduced to dust after they lost WW2
By they way even Arabs are Semite’s and all Christians who lived and living now in Middle East are Semite too read the true history not the one the Zionist changed and still changing
Thanks for telling the truth to these devil worshippers
Correct 👌🤝
Let us recall slavery, and The Indegenous within America. Somewhat of historical Genocide I would state. Thank you Sir 💥
Aborigines as well in Australia, fellow brothers and sisters with none to raise a voice for them.
❤
Isreal is not a country. It only exists in the minds of US politicians.
Thank you I’m sick of that cop out term
Anti semitic just to protect from their wrong behavior and critism.
💯❤️🔥
Israel didn’t start this war, but they will end it.
They are always hated for their hypocrisy, lies, unjustice, mockery.. and every bad deeds that they encourage
Israël succeeds to do that…
In this world the one who speaks the truth is silenced and the liar wins but in reality the truth wins and the lie loses.
Exactly 💯
The mouthpiece of hamas at its best!
Thank you Cornel West – so very well said !!!
They define Antizionism as Antisemitsm to artificially increase antisemitism.
Sadly that’s part of their plan.
Like use of islamophobia dosnt
But there’s a reason for the hate, they keep giving people reasons to legitimately hate them
So, does the use of the ‘genocide’ term ‘absolve’ Hamas of responsibility? Perhaps Mr West might also give his opinion on that…..or is this a oneway street?
where did he mention Hamas?
To claim anti semitic means that you to have to be semitic. Those in the ‘israel’ are not semitic, they are European; Germans, Khazars.
Very true.
Hope his community is also listening.

I am so sick of our government and the corruption..I cant wait to vote for you:)
We don’t need up to 5 or 10 years to look back and recognise this atrocity, it’s very evident now, people are well aware of this evil on the rampage, but at the moment might is right.
Love you Cornel keep telling it like it is
Why Israelites owned two citizenship… but palasthenians didn’t have????
He’s right. It’s not islamaphobic to criticise Indonesia for the genocide in East Timor and the on going genocide in West Papua.
😂😂ALJEZERA AGAIN. THEY ARE UPSET THAT ISRAEL DONT WANT THEIR PROPAGANDA AND OFFICES IN ISRAEL ANYMORE
Nathanyahu is using this term excuse but he commits crimes himself
Time for israel to take responsibility and accountability for their war crimes

To all the supporting replays here, you are antisemitic!
Kongo, Biafra, Aiyiti, Darfur Sudan, Aborigines Worldwide & in Australia, Enslaved Peoples, Apartheid-colonial diseases & more are daily injustices Realities against innocent Originals; Not deceits and lies of the f’ fakes##
Thanks a lot for telling truth.
And why have they been hated for 2000+ years…..
This guy needs to take responsibility for spreading lies.
Hanno mandato a morte Gesù ,che cosa pretendiamo da queste persone ?
That phrase got them 90 percent of the land they took from Palestinians, people only now believe Palestinians thanks to camera phones and social media. Israel isn’t the moral country people think it is.
Amen to that, Cornell.
Fun fact: John D Rockefeller, Henry Ford and Walter Rothschild, among others financed the NSGWP in both the 1928 and 1933 German elections that put the Nazis into power.
I have been saying this for years throwing out the term antisemitism like confetti at a wedding has weakened this term and cannot be used as an excuse to stop criticism of the state of Israel.
