Our guest this week is US independent presidential candidate Cornel West, and we ask him why he called Joe Biden a “war criminal”.

He also explains why he feels Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a “gangster”, why Biden’s Gaza policy makes him a “hypocrite” and how Arab-American voters will turn their backs on him.
