Interesting. When you do the math, it winds up that Cornell is the ONLY major candidate supporting the Palestinians, yet Palestinian lovers comprise a HUGE block of Democrat voters.

Lurking over at DU for their take on this attack, there's a whole bunch of "whataboutism" going on over there.

The Democrats' progressive base definitely agrees with Cornel West on this issue.

“The Democrats’ progressive base definitely agrees with Cornel West on this issue.”

Thanks - they DESPISE Israel. They despise a lot: Trump, Trump Voters, Russia, (whatever else they’re instructed to despise), etc.

So, Cornell is CLEARLY hitting a Pressure Point over there. Interesting that RFK Jr. stayed clear - I’m thinking what others here are thinking, that his objective is to peel off Trump voters.

I’m sure they do. This is definitely going to hurt RFK Jr. Giving money is one thing, all administrations do because Israel is defending our interests in the region. But Biden can still criticize. To not peak out on issues that deeply divide Israelis themselves, such as judicial reform, is a problem. When candidates back themselves into a corner voters deserve an explanation.
