Independent presidential candidate Cornel West and his newly announced running mate refused to condemn the Hamas terrorist group for its invasion and slaughter of Israel i innocents beginning Oct. 7, with West calling the attacks a “counterterrorist response.”
“I don’t believe in killing an innocent anybody,” West said. “But you don’t start with those voices without coming to terms with the vicious killings and occupations that’s been going on for 75 years, and then you get a counterterrorist response to that.” Abdullah doubled-down on the statement that BLM released two days after Hamas attacked Israel, in which the group framed the killing, rape, and kidnapping of women, children and infants at the hands of Hamas as “a desperate act of self-defense.”
Also in the interview, Abdullah defended a 2015 statement she made on social media declaring “the KKK, the police, and government officials are one in the same,” according to The Hill.
