Marc Lamont Hill Now Looking For New Job After Comments About Israel

As reported late last evening by our own 746.
[MEDIAite] CNN severed ties with contributor Marc Lamont Hill on Thursday, following comments the university professor made about Israel and Palestine in a speech at the United Nations.

"Marc Lamont Hill is no longer under contract with CNN," a CNN spokesperson told Mediaite.

Hill urged countries to boycott Israel in a speech on Wednesday, calling for a "free Palestine from the river to the sea." His comments sparked an immediate backlash, with many noting "from the river to the sea" is a phrase used by Hamas and other anti-Israel terror groups. The phrase implies the replacement of Israel by a Palestine stretching from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea ‐ though Hill disputes this characterization of his comments.

"We have an opportunity to not just offer solidarity in words but to commit to political action, grass-roots action, local action and international action that will give us what justice requires and that is a free Palestine from the river to the sea," Hill said in his speech.

His comments were condemned as anti-Semitic by the National Council of Young Israel and Anti-Defamation League.

#3 There are a few Sentinelese missionary positions available. A bit stand-offish at first, but a warm, friendly people once you get to know them. Great Pacific island climate and the fishing is unparalleled.
