CNN fires Marc Lamont Hill in wake of remarks criticizing Israel and calling for a 'free Palestine'

[ADX]

6. MLH called for "a free Palestine from the river to the sea"...

...What's so horrible about that? Palestinians should be "free" - free from oppression and free from the curtailing of their human rights. Furthermore, many phrases don't necessarily mean the same thing to all people. For instance, if I were to say "Black power!" some people would hear it as term of self-determination while others would hear it as a term of radical defiance. Sometimes, the fault lies with the "hearer" not the "sayer".

You're entitled to your opinion but personally, I believe MLH when he says this:

"My reference to “river to the sea” was not a call to destroy anything or anyone. It was a call for justice, both in Israel and in the West Bank/Gaza. The speech very clearly and specifically said those things. No amount of debate will change what I actually said or what I meant."
