CNN has been heavily promoting a special weeklong series on the rise of anti-Semitism across Europe.
Unfortunately, the PR push came at the exact same time one of its contributors, Temple University professor Marc Lamont Hill, called for an armed Palestinian “resistance” against Israel and used a known Hamas rallying cry calling for the destruction of the Jewish State during a speech at the United Nations.
On Thursday, CNN fired Hill over the issue.
“Marc Lamont Hill is no longer under contract with CNN,” a spokesperson told TheWrap.
During his remarks, Hill called for a free Palestine, “from the river to the sea,” a line which has been used repeatedly by Hamas leader Khaled Mash’al.
