Coates said he was glad when he heard that first responders had been killed after 9/11. He's a sleazebag. His opinion means nothing to decent people.

Honestly, I think you're being far too generous to Coates. He's a representative and spokesman for a worldview that sees white people as oppressors and Jews as super-whites, the oppressors who even oppress whites as well as other races. It would be pretty much impossible for someone from his milieu to voice any kind of empathy and understanding for Israelis without suffering immediate cancellation by his peers, but in all likelihood, the thought of listening to the Jewish viewpoint never occurred to him -- doubtless just listening would expose him to "colonialist violence."
