Analysis Summary
Sanders delegates, including philosopher Cornel West, pushed the 2016 Democratic platform committee to support Palestinian rights and oppose Israeli settlements. The core claim is accurate — West was indeed a Sanders delegate advocating this position during 2016 platform negotiations, though specific attendee lists and exact language of amendments are not fully independently confirmed. This reflects real platform disputes from a decade ago that continue to shape Democratic debates on Israel-Palestine today.

“Ten years ago, delegates representing Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton met in Florida to debate what should be included in the Democratic Party's platform.”
The 2016 Democratic platform committee did meet and included delegates from both campaigns. Florida hosted platform hearings. Exact venue/date details not independently confirmed but core claim aligns with documented 2016 platform process.
“Sanders delegates including Civil Rights advocate Maya Berry and American Philosopher @brothercornelwest supported amendments calling for an end to Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories and the expansion of illegal Israeli colonies (settlements)”
Cornel West was a Sanders delegate in 2016 and did advocate for Palestinian rights on the platform committee. Maya Berry's specific role in platform debates not independently confirmed, but Sanders delegates did propose Israel-Palestine amendments in 2016. The characterization of settlements as 'illegal' reflects international legal consensus though this framing is contested by Israel.
