They are apologists for Islam. To admit that Islam is the problem, they would have to also admit that most of Africa’s current problems stem from their current embrace of Islam. There would be no Ethiopian Jews in Israel if Islamic African countries were on the right side of humanity’s fight against a devastatingly destructive ideology.

Black leaders like Dumisani will be part of the solution, and we are grateful for it! #IStandWithIsrael

Frustrating knowing that Coates has jumped on the Israel-bashing bandwagon just to make a buck and elevate his status among those who don’t know any better.

Coates is a nauseating piece of work, and not as bright as he imagines.

the fact that Coates, Farrakhan, and West are featured prominently in US (government-run) mass media and US (government-run) academia does not speak well to regarding the objectives of US intelligence.

One might wonder what would cause Coates, who asked a perceptive question on his feet and in real time, to turn away from historical facts and attach himself to a perversion of facts. Is it that the Critical Theory movement, and all of its subsidiaries such as anticolonialism, is so powerful that it could turn him away from the clear and obvious truth, a truth that he saw for himself? Or is it simply that he chose to pursue what the market was asking for?

Perhaps all of the above.

Coates is a long term antisemite raised and mentored by a prominent antisemite father. It is logical that he chose anti-Israel path.
