Yesterday, CNN fired grassroots activist, professor, and occasional commentator Marc Lamont Hill after his passionate remarks
at the United Nations defending freedom in Palestine and supporting the
use of grassroots resistance against Israeli policies. In particular,
Hill’s critics slammed his call for freedom in the holy land “from the
river to the sea,” alleging that this long-standing, unambiguous
Palestinian slogan of liberation amounted to calling for the
“destruction” of Israel or otherwise contains some sort of anti-Jewish
or anti-Israeli sentiment. Hill denies any secret meanings, and it
prompts the question of what it says about Israel as an ethnocracy that
freedom for Palestinians is perceived as “destruction”...........https://mondoweiss.net/2018/11/palestine-platform-spokespeople/
