Cornel West, the prominent philosopher, political activist, and independent candidate in the 2024 US presidential election, spoke to Al Jazeera about his support for Palestinian rights. He emphasized the need to differentiate between criticizing Israeli policies and harbouring anti-Jewish sentiment, pointing out the suffering and oppression experienced by both African Americans and Jews throughout history. West strongly condemned the ongoing Israeli assault in Gaza, describing it as a barbaric and genocidal attack on the dignity and humanity of the Palestinian people. He highlighted the importance of advocating for Palestinian rights without being unfairly accused of being anti-Jewish.
