Cornel West accuses Israel, not Hamas, of "genocidal attack" on Gaza

Cornel West, a third party presidential candidate, appeared on NewsNation's “CUOMO" Tuesday. The avowed Communist condemned Israel for refusing to lay down and die when it bombed Gaza in retaliation to the brutal Oct. 7 attack that butchered 1,200 Israelis, wounded about 5,300 and took around 240 hostages, some of whom have been killed. But West likened Israel's response to genocide, when it was Hamas who proudly declared that this is their intention to do to the Jews.

But rather than seeing the events for what they are, West blamed the victims. Maybe the women and girls Hamas raped and mercilessly slaughtered were dressed provocatively and were asking for it.

“We’re living in a genocidal attack in real time, where nearly 7,000 children have been killed in less than 45 days, so all of the talk about X or Y is nothing but rationalizations of the proceeding, of the promoting of this kind of genocidal attack,” West said, refusing to take into account how Hamas uses children and others as human shields, and how the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) take great pains and risk the lives of their soldiers, at limiting civilian casualties. 

It has also been shown that Hamas used the Al Shifa Hospital as a sort of headquarters, which they deny. 

Using hospitals or religious places of worship is forbidden in the Geneva Convention but the terrorists obviously don't care. Anytime an enemy does this, the facility is no longer protected, but even so, Israel still did not level it to the ground. Instead, they went in, room-by-room, looking for the terrorists. 

It was later seen on video that prior to the IDF's arrival, hostages were taken to Al Shifa and some of the Hamas terrorists were dressed as hospital staff--another breach of the 1949 Geneva Convention.

In addition, on Monday and Tuesday, Israel produced photos and videos showing weapons being stored inside the hospital, a tunnel shaft on the grounds outside and a blast door leading to a tunnel.

While West said Hamas was “wrong” for its attack on Israel, he argued “they were resisting” because of suffering. 

Why doesn't West ask Israeli Arabs how they're "suffering." It turns out that they're better off than their Gaza counterparts, have more freedom, and are even represented in the Israeli Knesset.

“Palestinian children are not receiving any attention from the U.S. government, from the Israeli government,” West said.

That's because the Palestinian kids are too busy being human shields. And let's never forget that Palestinians are able to get medical care in Israeli hospitals, while the reverse is not true.

West is among those who have called on Israel to institute a cease-fire so that Hamas can get a breather, regroup, rearm and resupply so they can more effectively come up with a "final solution."

West is an anti-Semite clear and simple, and anti-Semites hate that the Jews aren't walking into the ovens anymore.

Never again is Now!
