Cornel West Debate With Alan Dershowitz Devolves Into Shouting Match: ‘Get Off the Crack Pipe, Man’
A debate between independent presidential candidate Cornel West and Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz devolved into a shouting match on Fox News’ Hannity, Wednesday, as the two men argued over Israel and Palestine.
Fox News host Sean Hannity opened the debate by telling West, “You always call me Brother Sean, I call you Brother Cornel. I’m not that happy with you tonight.”
Hannity then confronted West with an interview where he said, “Palestinians have a right to defend themselves in the same way that Israel has a right to defend itself. There’s no doubt about that. But neither has a right to kill innocent people.”
In defense of his remarks, West told Hannity:
545 Palestinian children died in August 2004, not one American said a word. I believe a Palestinian baby has the same value as an Israeli baby, so when you have that kind of vicious hatred and revenge, you get a response of hatred and revenge. They are all wrong, they are all war crimes, they are all to be condemned, but you cannot simply look at this particular moment without the larger backdrop of an ugly occupation and the ugly attacks chronically against Palestinians.
Dershowitz responded by arguing:
Hamas is the ones responsible for the killing of Palestinian children. Also, Hamas has a term, it’s called the CNN strategy, and the CNN strategy is induce Israel into killing Palestinian children by using them as human shields, then parade the bodies out on CNN and you’ll see what happens. People like Cornel West will engage in crocodile tears, blame it on Israel, when the entire blame is on the Palestinians, Hamas for using their children, their children, as human shields.
West shot back, “Don’t accuse me of crocodile tears, my brother. I have the same outrage when Palestinian babies are killed when Jewish babies or Israeli babies— I want you to have the same indignation when Palestinians are killed.”
“It shouldn’t be the same outrage,” Dershowitz argued. “You can’t make a moral comparison. When Nazi kids were killed in the bombings of Dresden, I didn’t have the same comparison when Jewish kids were put in gas chambers and crematoriums. You’re a professor of theology! Don’t you understand the moral difference between deliberately murdering a kid and having collateral damage because they’re human shields?”
As the debate continued, West declared, “Anybody who commits war crimes are barbaric. I’m saying that explicitly, but I want you to say if the Israeli Defense Forces are killing children, are they barbaric too?”
“No, no, no no, no!” protested Dershowitz. “Never in the history have they ever targeted a child deliberately.”
West replied, “Oh brother, you got to get off the crack pipe, man. Please!”
