Cornel West hits Sanders for not calling for cease-fire in Gaza: ‘Pretty pathetic’
The Hill ^ | 11/16/2023 | TARA SUTER

Independent 2024 presidential candidate Cornel West criticized Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for not calling for a cease-fire in the ongoing war between Israel and the militant Palestinian group Hamas.

“You say, ‘Brother Bernie, man, this is reaching the point where it’s getting pathetic now, man,’” West said in an interview with Status Coup News on Wednesday. “If the pause is the best you can come up with given this situation, then this is getting pretty pathetic.”

When your favorite terrorist organization is getting stomped, the first thing you do is call in a cease fire. Would the same thing happen if all the Arab countries were pounding Israel?

The gap in Cornel’s front teeth is wider than the Gaza Strip.

Cornel West is Jim Henson's least lovable muppet.

Cornel West is a dimwit.

(Gee, I never knew I’d be taking up for Bernie Sanders...)

West: "Bernie, you should be much more vehement about a ceasefire to protect the Palestinian people from the predations of your Judische brethren."

Sanders: "How dare you! I am a socialist, not a Jew! I hate the Israelis as much as anyone in the Democratic partei!"

So why isn’t Cornel West calling for Hamas’s surrender? Has anyone asked him?

These pathetic politicians have no idea of how to wage a war to win it. Leave Netanyahu alone and close your foolish mouths. None of them understand the history, the tragedy, and the sorrow that demands the Israelis must fight with everything they have. Their young men and women are trained up for war.They will, by the mighty hand of God, do the impossible. Chosen by God to be His people, they are destined to be the theocratic nation He envisioned one day. He will preserve the jews, even if only a remnant. They will acknowledge and serve Jesus Christ as the Lord of All and Messiah. Israel will exist eternally. God’s word will not return to Him void. It will happen. All will see it be amazed.

If you do not want to fight a war, then you should not start a war.
