Remember this guy? Yes, Mark Lamont Hill, the same "fella" who mocked the Church Of God In Christ in 2014 saying "look at this fxxxed up church."...YES...that is EXACTLY what he said (and NOONE but us, The Dunamis Word, made note of it and or held him accountable)...Remember, this was said as the church was in controversy over its response to Earl Carter's anti-gay message delivered during the 107'th Annual Holy Convocation.
Well Guess What?
It seems that the Temple University media studies professor, while declaring his allegiance to the concepts of "freedom", was FIRED by CNN for a speech delivered at a United Nations gathering in which he called for the "palestinian people" (whoever that is, as there has NEVER been a palestianian state in history) to experience liberation and freedom "from the river to the sea", which is a reference to the PRE 1967 "mythical" condition of the land before Israel was reorganized as a Nation.
Hill's statements, not only showed his liberalism, and anti-semitism, they also displayed his arrogance and flat out air-headedness, which is something that he has often shown in his commentary over the years on one subject or another. But that doesn't stop Marc, from being the "demi-god" that he believes that he is...On twitter, his LAME explanation continued as follows:
“At no point did I endorse, support, or even mention Hamas. This is dishonest,” “I was very clear in my comments about desiring freedom, justice, and self-determination for EVERYONE.”
According to CNN, Hill's lengthier Twitter explanation went like this:
“I support Palestinian freedom. I support Palestinian self-determination. I am deeply critical of Israeli policy and practice,”...“I do not support anti-Semitism, killing Jewish people, or any of the other things attributed to my speech. I have spent my life fighting these things.” ...
“river to the sea” phrase dates to the early 20th century and “has never been the exclusive province of a particular ideological camp.”...“This means that all areas of historic Palestine — e.g., West Bank, Gaza, Israel — must be spaces of freedom, safety, and peace for Palestinians,”...“The idea that this is a Hamas phrase is simply untrue.”
He also said in another tweet:
"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."
Well, "Magic" Hill, is either being totally dishonest, or simply had no business running his mouth on an issue which he knows NOTHING about (I believe both are equally as true) But, when one thinks that they are "god's gift" to the world, as his persona presents itself so amply, one also thinks they can rewrite history and make all things appear as they wish people to see them.
Interestingly enough the phrase, "from the river to the sea" was a phrase of "palestian nationalism" (not simple "free" idealism, as hill suggests) and is further a proliferation of Islamic belief. Historically, there is no question what these things mean. The same phrase was pronounced by the PLO at its establishment in 1964 and has been repeated by proclamation by the anti-American terrorist group Hamas in "The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas)". on August 18, 1988.
In other words, these words are DOG WHISTLES held and pronounced by those who DO NOT believe in the legitimacy of Israel as a nation and by those who now seek to de-legitimize the state calling for its boarders to be those of a pre-1967 condition. This simply means, that you DO NOT want Israel to exist period...It is simply Hill's philosophical solipsism syndrome kicking in, as the world is only real to himself. To say that there is no connection in this phrase to an anti-Semite position is simply fantasy and sheer lunacy and Hill is enamored in both.
As liberalism goes, Hill will undoubtedly gain plenty of support for his hate affirming commentary and show up on some network (MSNBC again!!!) in all of his self-contrived glory...And then, he will self destruct again, because, to those as wrong as he is, he is the only "right" that he knows....
SMH...but BLESSED!
