I'm sorry I cannot get over how much the quoted argument ("he sees victims/victimizers in a simplistic moral binary") is complete and utter horseshit. see the attached quote re: victimhood from COATES'S LITERAL BOOK
“The fact of the matter is,” he said, “that kid up at Columbia, whatever dumb shit they’re saying, whatever slogan I would not say that they would use, they are more morally correct than some motherfuckers that have won Pulitzer Prizes." https://t.co/DzFk7TQxf0
In Philadelphia, they don’t say “I love you”, they say “Go Birds”, which roughly translates to “My entire mental and emotional well being hinges on how well a bunch of guys in São Paulo throw around football tonight”, and I think that’s beautiful.
Sen. Sanders: "I suggest to CNN and maybe some of my colleagues here, maybe take your cameras, just for a moment, off of Columbia and UCLA . Maybe go to Gaza, and take your camera show us the emaciated children who are dying from malnutrition because of Netanyahu's policies."
As we celebrate Passover this week, we are seeing Jewish students and faculty showing up Jewishly, joining and helping to lead protests on college campuses across the nation.

The video won't be online until Jan 8, but I've launched the fundraiser today because the goal is high & the situation is urgent. The real push will start next week, but any & all donations would be deeply appreciated in the meantime. Thank you so much.
