CORNEL WEST: PALESTINE IS NOT FORGOTTEN

Activist, philosopher and presidential candidate Cornel West spoke out 12 November in New York City in favor of a free Palestine.

As West explains, Africans in the United States have long taken clear positions siding with oppressed peoples all over the world. We remember the position of our freedom fighters during the US war on Vietnam and during the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. Now, as Palestine is under attack, we are called upon to continue our heritage of resistance and solidarity to stand against ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Thus far, the Israeli military has killed more than 11,000 people in the besieged enclave.

Let us know what you think of West’s remarks.
