Cornel West calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza
Вставка

- “We loathe and hate the vicious siege against Gaza. The least we can do in this moment of overwhelming vulgarity is to have a ceasefire. Yet, there are those in Washington, DC talking about a ’humanitarian pause.’”
Dr Cornel West, a philosopher, political activist and US presidential candidate, spoke in support of Palestinians in Gaza and called for a ceasefire outside the UN building in New York City.
He firmly stated that advocating for Palestinians and their children does not equate to hatred towards others.
“Don’t let anybody tell you that loving Palestinians and Palestinian babies means you hate someone else,” he said.
Emphasising his commitment to human rights, West declared solidarity with all who are occupied, subjugated or exploited, focusing specifically on Gaza due to what he described as a “genocidal attack.”

This is exactly why I'm voting for him he is totally fair and he is telling the truth.
I'm going to vote for him too
Absolutely!
Same here
How could you not support such a man for President
I have seen this man speaking on television many times, and he is an absolute idiot.
I'll be voting for him.
@@Amaking10000 Then you are stupid, he is nuts, and has ZERO chance.
Free Free Palestine . BDS
@@user-cj3nj3vw8h With what happened on October 7th, I have ZERO fucking sympathy for Palestine!!!!
What a powerful, decent speech ❤ that's the leadership we need to see right now
Yes, it's also the passion the rest of us need to feel. No more complacency and hopelessness. Time to get active.
Stay strong Palestinian people! I can’t imagine what you guys are going through. -American
Yeah. Don’t attack and rape other countries Palestine and life might be better for you.
Everybody that's American... Please write Dr. Cornell West in the ballot next November if he's not there. There is no difference between Biden and Trump.
Absolutely not. West appears to be antisemitic
I agree, just be sure to spell his name correctly
Joe Biden is worse than Trump. So why was he mourning about November 6th? Double stands. To hell with his genocide agenda
NO WAY....
Im voting West
I’m Caribbean, I feel the pain of the Palestine people . Free Palestine .
When the pain is gone, fear the fathers who have held their dead babies, in their arms. Have the Israelis fooled the world! Israelis are not real Jews, they have been hijacked by the Khazar Askanazi who are not from the same 12 tribes of Israel. They are converts. The origin of these people and their history, go back to the Rothschild of Kazakstan. Why is it illigal to have a DNA Test in Israel! Why are they called Israelis and not Isralites! Why do they call themselves Jew-ish and not Judith's! We know the truth..
Tell Hamas that Bwahahaha the Palestinians are complicit as a people. They turned themselves into terrorists. Just like you.
Than you are living in land stolen by the Europeans... Go to your original land...
NAZİ. STOP
ZİON. STOP
@@aynurinanoz889... look in the mirror and you'll see the Nazi... And Btw, muslims are the Nazi too...
Wow. What a strong speech!
👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖 our prayers are with the people of Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Respect 🫡 for u sir for being a great human being u r🫡🫡free Palestine 🇵🇸
FREE THE HOSTAGES.
That "get off the crack pipe" line sealed the deal. Dude has my vote.
Dude looks like he’s been smoking the crack pipe too much himself!
Is he running for presidency ?
@@abbasgamer260 yeah
@@hussanalrubayie3020 i just did some research about him , it seems he's running solo without either party .. I don't know if its possible to win without the support they have in each party .. but i guess changing a system that's been around for hundreds of years won't happen quick , it just needs to start and it'll happen eventually just like domino pieces falling on each other.
💯
What a powerful, beautiful voice of truth, love, justice and faithfulness to God! May the angels everlastingly protect Cornell West and keep him strong, gentle and boldly outspoken. May we all do our part to get a ceasefire NOW!
The matter is getting worse. Today, many innocent civilians in Gaza have been bombed, and Hamas still has Israeli hostages. The Israeli army is bombing civilians in Gaza, and Hamas rejects any solution to the harm of many innocent people and children 😢
Cornell is absolutely killing it, absolutely nothing but true. Too many people are dying in Gaza as we speak.
And hamas is totally to blame.
@msears8576 Yes they are but that don't mean that Israel has to bomb innocent people
@@msears8576 dude stop embarassing yourself here. People here have a heart and brain. Hamas is a resistance group which was born due to occupation and occupation is Wrong omg I have to say this in this century. Slavery is wrong dude .
Hamas is the one that brought the plight of palastinians to the attention of the world 🌎 and they have also lost many of their own men.
That's what sort of leader America needs. People of integrity and human values
There are many Americans with those qualities but they rarely make it to the top, if ever. Capitalism is designed to reward selfishness.
West is remarkably stupid.
@@anacom4238this is spot on
In the 21st Century people need to be more than that. They need to be vegan. It is you that needs to change.🌱
@@berniv7375 You do not get to tell me or anyone else what they "need" to do. And I say West is very stupid.
He's teaching us how a true man should act
Yeah like a crackhead lolololzzz. You can't tell me he is not high af. He speaks the truth at least.
He is fucking nuts.
True!
God Bless you’re Heart & Soul for defending the 😢ones that have no Voice
Hello everyone My name is India and this is one of The Best Truest Moving speeches ever!!!! Thank you sir for speaking out!!!! Im so fed up with The government here. America has got big problems when they can't or will not speak out about thousands of people being murdered!!!! We must all stand together and fight for Palestine and Gaza. I as a Native Indigenous Woman understand clearly about Genocide! My race lived through it don't let Palestine be forgotten or anyone else facing evil. We are all humans. We must treat each other with decency and respect. Love your sisters and brothers and lets end the hate and the wars. # Stop The Genocide # Cease Fire!!!! I stand in solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸🙌🏽 A'ho donadagohvi adageyudi 🪶💪🏽
Prof. West is correct, great speech
West is a pathetic race baiting lib... blacks are not persecuted, and the fact that hes even trying to equate the two is disgusting
no he's an idiot
The man is a lunatic.
He's a tool. Probably was all for BLM too..
We need more brave men/women like him!
Everyone, please vote for Cornell West. Please vote third party this election.
I'll say!
Absolutely; he has my vote!
I know I am
I'm voting for him! Not that it'll make a difference in this godforsaken country.
It's important that he gets on the ballot.
You are more honorable than our leaders
I have watched it like 100 times, didnt get board is so moving and deep speech
Well said Professor West Thank you for your voice 🙏
Well done 👏 ✔
Cornel West, he is our guy. It's time for America to break free from the corporate two party system, and get voices in congress that reflect their values, not lobbyist.
@@Jroc834you mean free Palestine from Zionists..Get it correct.
@Jroc834 free Jews from satanyahu 😂
@@Jroc834 Israel made Hamas
Yes, although It's not really a two-party system. That's part of the illusion.
Loud and ignorant
Great speech Sir ❤
My hat’s off to You Sir 👏
We need more leaders like Cornell..Free Palestine 🇵🇸
They are extremely RARE as they have all been bribed by the Isreali govts for decades?
They have become war monster copies?
I have listened to the UN members meetings, they have STILL NOT AGREED TO STOP THIS WAR ?
NOT EVEN A HUMANITARIAN CEASEFIRE.
The Isreali pm has stated HIS BIBLE ALLOWS HIM TO KILL ALL PALESTINIANS
I M WONDERING WHAT THE HOLY SEE THINKS ABOUT THIS?
I THINK THEY MIGHT THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT REMOVING THE WORD ISREAL FROM OUR BIBLE.
THE ISREALI GOVTS FORCES DO NOT RESPECT HUMAN LIFE AT ALL?
WAR IS CRUEL & UGLY & HASN'T YET STOPPED & THIS IS THE WORST ILLEGAL WAR & CONTINUED GENOICIDE IN WORLD HISTORY ,& STILL HORRIFICALLY UNFOLDING.
WE HAVE BEEN WITNESSING .
THIS BLOODSHED EVERY DAY FIR OVER A MONTH NOW & 6000+ CHILDREN STILL BEING KILLED????
GOD & ALL HIS
SAINTS WOULD BE HORRIFIED! 😓🌎
We need to ask the HOLY SEE what they think of Palestine their people & their innocent children?????

@@Hebrew-Spiritpalestine still doesnt exist its just a group of nomads living in Gaza or the West Bank
You are right😊
Thank God that someone is willing to SPEAK OUT against genocide! Thank you, thank you.
Thank you for speaking out, Sir. Truth!!! Is needed now.
Your voice is loud and clear and greatly appreciated 💛
After years on battlefield, I learnt one thing: Politicians love wars; civilians love peace.
You are so correct 😢
Powerful words man,powerful words!
Banks love wars. Politicians love looting the countries we invade
Man, you outdid yourself with such a true statement.
Should be a famous phrase.. this is such an underrated comment. Hats off to that
I love this professor.
The way he says "ceasefire" gives me chills
"Get off the crack pipe" 😂😂😂
It couldn't been said any better .

But this war is no longer a war, it is the killing of civilians, as a result, 70 percent of Children and Women, and pregnant women among them...
A man speaking the truth.
What truth? Who’s the one’s “occupying” the land. The one’s deliberately threatening safety and stability for everyone. The Jews occupied this land for quite a long time in the past, and there is quite a lot of evidence that Palestinians are a diverse group of people coming from many places
@@jamesnoonan9302 Many people lived there for centuries. Why some of them are trying to kick out the others for no reason? And why have to come the jews from many places in the world if you say they were already living there?
@@jamesnoonan9302crazy how palestine doesnt have basic rights like water and food because of israels war crimes but yet they still are public enemy number one. Just saying get off the crack pipe and see whats at hand
He is very, very stupid and completely unrealistic.
I admire the passion and courage of this man so much.

He has such a wonderful speaking style that fuels my soul and fills it with energy. Thank you Dr. West.
I felt every word he said. I see you, Palestinians, brothers, and sisters. I swear we do, but those greedy and racist politicians won't listen to us. It's driving me mad.
Go do something about it then
We have to spread the truth till we can establish new party who stick to the justice and listen to us
@basemali2227 good luck with that. US both dem and repub are responsible for backing and supporting Israel. Without US arms, money and approval it would never have got to this point. Ukraine conflict, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya all conflicts created by US. They don't spread freedom around the world, the bring death everywhere in order to keep US as the sole superpower and richest nation

- If Nazis escaped
- Camouflage into another Nation,Religion
- Rename their Political Movement
- Can't be recognized
- Can be recognized by Matching Policies
- Death Camps,Subhuman,Starvation,Pogroms,Ethnic Cleansing,etc?
