This PICTURE Just Completely SHATTERED Marc Lamont Hill’s Defense

As you know, Marc Lamont Hill has caused all sorts of drama for saying “from the river to the sea,” a terrorist-affiliated phrase, at a UN speech. Basically, he called for the destruction of Israel.

If you’re not familiar…

Calling for a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea” is calling for the destruction of Israel, anyone who tells you otherwise is either willfully lying or embarrassingly ignorant.

“From the river to the sea,” you are fooling nobody, where exactly would Israel be? pic.twitter.com/v5PRIqTajy

He then tried to defend himself by entirely redefining the phrase:

Yesterday, I gave a speech at the UN in which I critiqued Israel’s polices and practices toward Palestinians. It’s baffling how people are not responding to the critique, but instead responding to things I didn’t actually say.

In my speech, I talked about the need to return to the pre-1967 borders, to give full rights to Palestinian citizens of Israel, and to allow right of return. No part of this is a call to destroy Israel. It’s absurd on its face.

I believe in full rights for all citizens. I believe in safety for all citizens. I believe in self-determination for all citizens. This is not an anti-Semitic position.

While I have my own beliefs about one vs two state solutions (I prefer one), it is not my job as an outsider to decide for Palestinians or Israelis. Regardless of the resolution, however, Palestinians cannot be denied freedom, self-determination, or human rights.

I concluded my remarks with a call to free Palestine from river to sea. This means that all areas of historic Palestine —e.g., West Bank, Gaza, Israel— must be spaces of freedom, safety, and peace for Palestinians.

NOPE. THAT’S NOT WHAT IT MEANS.

I did not. I have not. And I would not. https://t.co/2Imr32XWws

Hey Mark, you can bet the Palestinians know damned well what “river to sea” means. Now you do too…https://t.co/XLESywnM7I

If you aren’t sure what the phrase “from the river to the sea” means, just ask Palestinians. pic.twitter.com/ZnGAZ5vZD6

…and no one was buying it. CNN canned his anti-Semitic A$$.

And see… there’s ANOTHER reason we’re not buying his BULL.

ARE YOU READY?

You literally did so at a debate we had in Germantown, Marc. I have the receipts. Your dehumanization, dismissal of, and condescension toward Jews has got to stop. Hopefully the collective outrage at your remarks will lead to some soul searching on your part. https://t.co/ddAcMN7lmt

RIIIIIIIIGHT. ABOUT THAT.

(That’s Farrakhan, folks. If you weren’t 100%)

During an appearance on Fox News in 2008, Hill said he couldn’t be sure if Farrakhan was an “anti-semite” and that Farrakhan’s quote calling Judaism a “gutter religion” had been taken “out of context” pic.twitter.com/HGT8qrXO2k
