Temple U’s Marc Lamont Hill Still Calling for a ‘Free Palestine from the River to the Sea’

Temple University professor Marc Lamont Hill repeated his eliminationist call---for which CNN fired him last year---for a “free Palestine . . . from the river to the sea” at an American Muslim for Palestine (AMP) fundraiser earlier this month.

For “speaking truth to power,” Hill received the “Al Quds Award,” while Sheikh Jamal Said of Chicago’s Mosque Foundation demonstrated his agreement by declaring (about Israel), “It’s a state that will vanish, Allah willing! It will not last.”

Clearly, Hill, who, after the CNN firing, apologized to his “Jewish brothers and sisters,” knows who his true friends are.
