The Left’s Response to Israel/Palestine Violence (w/ Cornel West)

Dr. West rejoins Bad Faith to talk about his choice to leave the Green Party, and whether it’s really the best strategic option. He then weighs in on the violence on Israel/Palestine and the controversies around the left’s response. What does he make of the Harvard student groups joint letter in response to Hamas’s attack? How does one acknowledge grief and compassion at the murder of Israeli civilians, without validating media narratives that exclusively value Israeli lives without acknowledging the ongoing occupation of Palestinians? It’s the kind of tough, empathic, important conversation we’ve come to expect from Dr. West. Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube to access our full video library.
