Who is Dr. West? Google is telling me about some horrendous Eminem skit instead.

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

Cornel West I assume?
Thanks
Yeah fuck Dr. West and his brother/sister shit. Fuck that preacher liberal shit. Fuck that Christian turn the other cheek, god will sort em out, the universe will carry out its own justice shit. Guy's a fucking monster just like other Americans, in his own way helping perpetuate the monstrous empire and its crimes. A false conscious is what he is, a pretender and I'm tired of the fake left championing him.
I don't want people to tell me he's better than other liberals. Like the Pope he just has a good PR sense and a desire to be a brand that has the aesthetics of radicalism but none of the practice.
And 60% thinking it isn't enough. They've broken their fascist little brains just like Americans after 9/11. I don't feel sorry about any of them killed on 10/7. 100% agree with Norm, no sympathy, no pity for concentration camp guards and that describes the overwhelming majority of the settler population.
Not specifically Dr. West bur you will also notice who's resistance they support and who they tell to be more like ghandi or mlk jr lines up quite perfectly with empire.
They must perpetuate the myth of successful peaceful resistance as an alternative to revolution. To watered down begging and electoralism and other things they can fight, subvert and win against easily.
100% agree about West and all these other "moral compromisers / middle ground finders". Nothing but spineless liberal opportunists who lost any real sense of moral indignation a long time ago by only shedding tears colonizers.
