CNN caves to anti-Palestinian smear campaign
CNN fired commentator Marc Lamont Hill for calling for a free Palestine, after some claimed he meant the destruction of Israel. But his statement is no more a call for the destruction of Israel than the end of Jim Crow was the destruction of America. By Omar Baddar “All the people that live in the…
