The new RNC “anti-Israel” video echoes a similar video that the group released in June in the run-up to the convention with the same theme, tone, and graphics – featuring Dr. Cornel West, the Bernie Sanders appointee to the convention’s platform committee. West ended up abstaining from the final vote on the platform citing the party‘s „moral failures.” After the collapse of the Sanders effort, West announced that he couldn‘t support Clinton and was endorsing Green Party candidate, Jill Stein, for president.
