CNN fires commentator Marc Lamont Hill for repeating genocidal jihadist call to destroy Israel

Nov 30, 2018 8:48 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

In a surprising move, CNN has fired Marc Lamont Hill for a speech in which he stated:

“Give us what justice requires — and that is a free Palestine from the river to the sea.”

This means to obliterate Israel entirely, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, which would require millions of Israeli deaths. It has been the battle cry of the Palestinian “resistance” movement. This jihadist call to violence has been chanted also on university campuses across the US and in Canada. These calls are frequently led by Hamas-linked groups, Students for Justice in Palestine and the Muslim Student Associations.

CNN’s firing of Hill does not represent a new phase in recognizing what the Palestinian “resistance” is really all about. The move by CNN was solely due to the uproar that followed Hill’s comment, rather than a direct response to his genocidal remarks.

“CNN fires commentator Marc Lamont Hill after he called for eliminating Israel, endorsed violent ‘resistance’, by Philip Klein, Washington Examiner, November 29, 2018:

CNN has fired commentator Marc Lamont Hill, who sparked a firestorm after he made comments that called for the elimination of Israel and endorsed violent “resistance” from Palestinians, a CNN spokesperson confirmed to the Washington Examiner.

“Marc Lamont Hill is no longer under contract with CNN,” a CNN spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

Hill, who has a long history of anti-Semitism, gave a bombastic speech at a U.N. event on Wednesday commemorating the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

The speech argued for boycotting Israel; warned against shaming Palestinians for engaging in violent “resistance”; and urged grassroots, local, and international action to “Give us what justice requires — and that is a free Palestine from the river to the sea.”

The phrase, “from the river to the sea,” means expanding a Palestinian state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, and it is a term that the terrorist group Hamas has used as a rallying cry for decades. Establishing a Palestinian state from the river to the sea would require the destruction of Israel, which is located in between those two bodies of water and is home to 44 percent of the world’s Jews.

The comments drew a sharp rebuke….

    BUT TEMPLE UNIVERSITY REFUSES TO FIRE ITS PROF. LAMONT HILL

    DESPITE LAMONT HILL’S LONG HISTORY OF ANTI-SEMITISM:

    “Marc Lamont Hill says violence against Israel legitimate”. Nothing new for Temple U. prof. Marc Lamont Hill. Link to report on on Lamont Hill’s long-time anti-Semitic history below.

    Neither Jewish Federation nor ADL will advocate for Temple U. to fire Lamont Hill despite the fact that any Temple U. professor with such an ugly history toward any other minority group would have long been gone. We, the grassroots, are contacting Temple U. President Englert:

      FoF, I am constantly amazed that there is even ONE SINGLE BLACK American who is not ETERNALLY GRATEFUL to the JEWS WHO STEADFASTLY WORKED for complete CIVIL RIGHTS of BLACK AMERICANS in all states.

      The INGRATITUDE of Lamont Hill to American Jewry is mind-boggling … I assume he is psychiatric.

      And Temple University has a lot of Jewish students–but this kind of vicious antisemitism is now considered “politically correct”.

        Exactly right. Think Ayan Hirsi Ali being banned from speaking from the commencement at Brandeis, and Jewish students at Stanford writing columns in student newspapers in support of a Palestinian student who vowed to “physically fight” Zionists on campus. It’s absolutely disgusting.

    This guy seems to have a vested interest in the establishing this “great” Palestian state. Maybe wants to open a strip club there.

    I remember when Bill O’Reilly frequently had Hill on his TV show. He not only expressed a lot of bad ideas but did so in a very fast-talking manner that I personally found highly annoying. I sensed he had an exaggerated opinion of himself and his entire effect—bad ideas, fast talking, egoism—on a listener like myself was completely negative. He’s a bad piece of work posing as something informed and sapient, neither of which he is.

    So, this recent comment by him at the UN comes as no surprise. He is a very foolish man who is well educated, a terrible combination. Such people are all over the place at colleges and universities across America, in Hill’s case at Temple University which I predict will do nothing to him for his heinous and stupid remark at the UN.

      I. too. recall the many visits to the “Factor” show and how annoying this guy was…for the reasons you state.

      Not only that, but it was equally annoying when O’Reilly would say, “smart guy,” after their one-sided discussion. I wondered at the time how anyone who seemed to be such a mental idiot could be a “professor.” Guess he’s just professing to know something.

      Daniel Greenfield has an excellent article on this moslim lover, exposing the fact that CNN did not say that they disagreed with hill on his views of Israel and the Jews. It is worth the read.

      https://www.camera.org/article/marc-lamont-hill-moves-from-justifying-terrorism-to-promoting-it/

      The above was not some sort of one-off, nor can it chalked up to ignorance of the meaning of the phrase he used.

        Thanks to you, somehistory, for mentioning the Greenfield article and CNN’s exact take on all this and to you, gravenimage, for the link. Shame he teaches at Temple. Shame he teaches anywhere.

    Marc Lamont Hill has gotten away for a LONG time with his Israel-Annihilation-Fantasy staying just “Veiled” enough to keep him a Go-To, Hard-Left, Talking Head. He’s VERY-OBAMA-ESQUE, with that same Professorial Nose-in-the-Air Arrogance we had to endure for 8 years…the kind that, unsurprisingly, isn’t GENTLEMANLY enough to step aside Politely or Quietly for his legally-elected predecessor, breaking from our country’s time-honored, RESPECTFUL, Peaceful Transition of National Governance!
    Marc Lamont Hill is actually MORE Obama than Obama was, as Hill actually IS a Professor. The 1st time I saw him in a Talking Head chair I was STUNNED he’d been “cleared”! 1 of the more unapologetic “Haters” on the Talk circuit, he’s an EPIC RACIST & open supporter of the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan!
    Surprised that CNN tossed him, given their full-speed descent to the lowest level of Hell, I’ll joyfully – yet suspiciously – call this a rare WIN for the Good Guys. Marc Lamont Hill knows quite well what is meant by “from the River to the Sea”, just as Obama & Minions knew fully what THEY were saying when insisting on ISIL instead of ISIS…each are equally “Loaded”, thus equally PURPOSEFUL, & equally EVIL!

    CNN is right to fire this idiot papagandist liar. No reasonable and responsible media should allow such nonsense being sponsored by evil Zionist State of Israel to justify systematic ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.Note:not long ago a so-called “New millennium goal” to wipe out Palestinians and residents of Sinai in Egypt region and Golan height in Syria for the territories to be given to fascist evil Zionist State of Israel as part greater fascist evil Zionist State of Israel supported by Idiot Zionist bastard murderer Ibn salman and stupid Sisi was uncovered ,and that is why the leader of all evils Netanyahu has going up and down to save Zionist agent bastard murderer Ibn salman. so, whenever fascist evil Zionist State and it’s supporters at JW say Palestinians want destruction of Israel ,they mean palestinians resist the seizure of their land to be given to evil Jews pursuant to that sinister plan. wicked scums of evils!!

      Nov 30, 2018 at 7:25 pm

      Uh, Ibrahim, you got things ass-backwards yet again. Marc Lamont Hill in his woeful statement at the UN (Useless Nations) was completely supporting the so-called Palestinians while, effectively, wishing for the extinction of Israel, even for a second Holocaust.

      My God, man, you are so effing deficient you can’t even recognize a fellow ally in hate. Just as you could not distinguish between Israeli-Arabs and the so-called Palestinians, neither can you even manage to align with someone who thinks as you do, so deficient are you in various ratiocination processes.

      But do continue to post here at JW since you shed a light, always, on how “Islamthink” does indeed do terrible things to the mind—many times over and even to the extent that you cannot, duh, recognize an ally in hate when you have one.

      Can’t make this up. But then, couldn’t make up such a crudity as Islam, all of which points yet again to the fact that truth so many times is even stranger than fiction.

      Have a wonderful day, Ibrahim, complete with a few beers and pork BBQ. I recommend the North Carolina variety over the Kansas City option here but reasonable minds can differ which of the BBQs are better. Oh, sorry, but the “reasonable mind requirement” leaves you out here respecting this culinary selection as it does, let’s see here, ON EVERYTHING..

        Wellington, but You cannot deny the fact that there exists such master plan to wipe out Palestinians and residents of Sinai and Golan height territories for Greater fascist evil Zionist State with the support of Zionist agent bastard murderer Ibn salman and stupid sisi,Russia exposed it and rejected. You are happy with your masters evil Jews committing genocide as dedicated slave. wicked scums of evils!!

          But I do deny that, Ibrahim. Emphatically. And per Mike2, have you ever given a thought to doing stand up comedy?

    • gravenimage says

      Nov 30, 2018 at 10:59 pm

      What a moron Ibrahim itace muhammed is. He isn’t even able to recognize a fellow supporter of Jihad who seeks the destruction of Israel. Not just a thug, but ignorant as a box of rocks.

      And his reference to the “New millennium goal” probably means the UN Millennium Development Goals. Far from being a plan to wipe out Mohammedans, this is a plan to improve the lives of the world’s poor–including Muslms. *Of course* he would hate a plan to reduce child mortality and feed the hungry.

      It also promotes gender equality–obviously, someone who believes that women should be mutilated, forcibly married (often as children), beaten, raped, and murdered would hate any such idea.

      http://www.mdgfund.org/node/922

      Most of these UN plans are a bit too socialist for my taste, but this has nothing to do with what Ibrahim itace muhammed is claiming.

    Just appalling from Hill. Even though I’m sure it was mostly CYA, I’m glad CNN fired him.

    The guy was insufferable AND predictable, I pretty much knew what he’d say before he opened his mouth.
    Good riddance.
