Far-left CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill, who on Wednesday appeared to call for the elimination of Israel and defended the use of violence, has been terminated from his job at the network.
"Marc Lamont Hill is no longer under contract with CNN," Matt Dornic, a network spokesman, said Thursday.
Hill made his remarks while speaking during the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, as first reported by Arutz Sheva.
"If we are in true solidarity, we must allow the Palestinian people the same range of opportunity and political possibility. We must recognize the right of an occupied people to defend themselves," Hill said. "We must prioritize peace, but we must not romanticize or fetishize it. We must advocate and promote non-violence at every opportunity, but cannot endorse narrow politics of respectability that shames Palestinians for resisting, for refusing to do nothing in the face of state violence and ethnic cleansing."
He didn't say anything overtly anti-Semitic until this...
Quote:
Hill concluded by saying that justice requires a "free Palestine from the river to the sea." According to multiple reports, the phrase "Free Palestine from the River to the Sea" is a rallying cry often uttered by Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups calling for the elimination of the Israeli state.
MLH can try to play that off as a vague coincidence (and he is) but that's pretty damning.
No surprise though. He's always been a racist/hate-filled person.
Hill, a political commentator for CNN touted on the site as “one of the leading intellectual voices in the country,” told TheWrap that he was not aware his image was being used for commercial purposes and will ask for its removal.
“I don’t want to be used to promote anybody’s materials,” he said. “I am going to ask for it to be taken down as I don’t think it’s consistent with my values and my professional standards.”

In 2008, Hill defended Farrakhan during an appearance on “Hannity & Colmes.”
“I do not know if he is an anti-Semite,” Hill said after Hannity confronted him with quotes from Farrakhan, including his description of Judaism as a “gutter religion.” Hill said the line was “out of context.”
He said the photo was taken in 2016.
Apparently he has had a relationship with Farrakhan at least back until 2008.
Now he knows how Trump feels. lol "That is not what I meant!"
Marc is now left to defend himself on twitter with the rest who've gone down. https://twitter.com/marclamonthill
