CNN Shamefully Bows to Right-Wing Mob in Firing of
Analyst Marc Lamont Hill, After His UN Speech Calling for Equal Rights for
Palestinians
with
Ali Abunimah, Founder of The Electronic Intifada, whose books include One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse, and The Battle for Justice in Palestine. He has been an active part of the movement for justice in Palestine for 20 years.
"I called for a single democratic state where everyone votes.
Jews, Muslims, Christians and everyone else deserve to live
in peace and safety. And with self-determination. No one’s
freedom should come at the expense of others." Dr. Marc
Lamont Hill
"This is precisely the message Israel and its lobby are most terrified of -- because it resonates with ordinary people. This is why they smear and defame people who call for justice and equality.” Ali Abunimah wrote this after CNN abruptly fired Temple University professor, political commentator, and Black Lives activist Dr. Marc Lamont Hill after he was falsely smeared as anti-Semitic for his testimony at the United Nations, where he eloquently discussed Israeli apartheid, intersectionality between the Black and Palestinian freedom struggles, and a one-state solution of justice and equality for all people throughout historic Palestine.
Wrote Abunimah: "The accusations against Marc Lamont Hill are outright lies promoted by high-level operatives of the Israel lobby in their latest effort to silence and punish anyone who dares speak out in support of Palestinian equality and freedom from Israel’s brutal regime of occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid.

They perfectly match the kind of smear and sabotage
tactics revealed in the censored Al Jazeera documentary on the U.S.
Israel lobby that was recently published in full by The Electronic
Intifada."
