Ta-Nehisi Coates ROCKS CBS Host On Israel

"Ta-Nehisi Coates’ new book, “The Message,” is a trio of interconnected essays that examine how the stories people tell — or avoid telling — can shape and even distort reality: “I am most concerned always with those that don’t have a voice.”

I am glad Mr. Coates was never afraid of being cancelled.

[AlCasu]

Why are those trying to grasp a breath while being crushed under the boots of empires always called Terrorists

[lorimargaret]

Israel's "right to exist" on top of how many thousands of Palestinian bodies??

[charlotteinnocent]

Coates is saying this perfectly. To oppose what is going on is NOT antisemetism and I am sickened that they keep trying to imply this!

[AliveBoldTV]

The fact that he tried to play the narrative that “Blacks are antisemitic” is crazy crazy work. I am so glad Ta-Nehesi stayed clear and concise in his message that Apartheid is wrong. Period!

[haroonmohammed]

Ta-Nehishi just being brutally honest!

[jayneyaghmour]

Ta-Nehisi remained so composed even though his interviewer tried to provoke him with vile accusations.

[celestialnubian]

This is like when Nelson Mandela wrecked Ted Koppel on the same topic.

[icecoldpierre]

Thank goodness Ta-Nehisi is on the right side of this issue! we need voices like his in this fight!

[elizabethtatum-soprano]

That "interviewer" was INFURIATING. Bravo to Mr. Coates for his standing firm & answering so clearly.

[abbygaileallbright]

Ta’Nahesi was calm and respectful in spite of the interviewers lack of professionalism. You guys need work with both... dramatic much? Ijs

[loisnoble]

They have a problem with the truth. Every time you criticize Israel it's classified as Anti Semiticism. Ta-Nehisi Coates you my brother have my utmost RESPECT.

[nakir]

I have lost all respect for Tony. He had the audacity to try and blame the victims for trying to live.

[rafiqtsm]

He’s trying to ruin this man’s life for simply questioning how folks are treated like 2nd class citizens or worst.

[nafrayu]

Israel DOESN'T have a right to exist...

No country or state has a right to exist. People have a right to exist not places. I hate this question but it is literally only ever asked in regards to Israel and never anywhere else.

[brooksmiller]

My neighbor (who is more of a second father than a neighbor), is from South Africa, and he is Jewish. When I was growing up, he would tell stories of what it was like to live in apartheid south africa, and he clearly thought it was wrong, and immoral. I've lived with and next to this person for 26 years of my 31 years of existence - for the life of me, I cannot understand how he supports israel, and cannot see it is ALSO an apartheid state - worse so than south africa was.
Ever since oct 7, 2023 there are so many people in my life I don't even recognize anymore, it's disheartening

[capstone]

I can't stand this guy Tony. He's so partial and unprofessional. Because he has kids in Israel, everyone must agree with Israel or you're antisemitic. He's so biased!

[JeanFisher-kq]

Jimmy Carter wrote book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” in 2006.

[AlH-iv]

SHAME on CBSN, they should fire him immediately.

[tonyclif]

Dokopoul's ex wife lives in Israel with his two kids. THAT is why he doesn't care about Palestinians.
Coates clearly explained why he feels the way he does - personal observation. Dokopoul hid his bias.
