Brother Cornel has his head in a very dark place.

“I am on my way to UCLA to be in deep solidarity with the precious students – Palestinian students, but all students who are in solidarity with what is happening with our precious Palestinian brothers and sisters in Gaza – the genocidal assault on Gaza, the barbaric attack on Gaza….” – Cornel West
Notice that he fails to mention that the Israeli attack on Gaza came in direct response to the slaughter by Hamas of Israeli youth at a music festival near Gaza, and in response to other unprovoked, coordinated attacks on Israeli civilians. It's not that the deaths of Palestinians are justified as a response to the deaths of Israelis. But Cornel West's failure to mention the murder of young Israeli civilians shows how selectively he preaches "solidarity."
