“ From the River to the Sea “ Palestine “ must be free. If you have recently looked at a map that would include all of Israel since ‘48.
You object because a commentator (don’t even know why he was there) publicity called for Israel’s destruction and he was fired?

Dr Marc Lamont Hill talks about his trip to Palestine

I love the way he talks about “ Historic Palestine “ which includes all of Israel, Nothing about “ 67 Borders “ You should actually try to read what you post. I didn’t hear him mention “ The Two State Solution” which is not the goal of the Palestinians. Keep posting!!!

Oh please. There is nothing worse than someone claiming to talk about international law and then, you know, never bringing up any actual international law. Sheesh.

She opens with a question: "Can the State of Israel as it was established and in the way that it currently maintains itself be a State which complies with the rules of international law and respects Palestinian's human rights?"

Let's just regurgitate that question in a way which is objective and doesn't single out Israel: Can a state be a state which complies with the rules of international law and respects human rights?"

The answer seems somewhat obvious. Yes, yes a state can be a state which complies with the rules of international law and respects human rights.

What, then is the problem with Israel which specifically and inherently prevents her from being a state which complies with the rules of international law and human rights?

According to her, it is Israel's definition as a Jewish State or a State for the Jewish people. She says: "Jewish State as Israel defines itself which is that Jews are defined as a national and ethnic group ... and the state is a state of the Jewish people. It privileges Jews in its laws, policies, practices and institutions ... tries to maintain a Jewish majority population .... And therein lies the problem ... Its Jewish character means that inevitably carries out international law violations and that compliance with international law would lead to unravelling its Jewish character. It purports to represent an ethnic group which is different than the indigenous ethnic group of the territory that it controls.

Let's break up that party in a way which is objective and doesn't single out Israel: A State which defines itself by a national and ethnic group and is a state of the people of that ethnic group privileges the people of that ethnic group in its laws, policies, practices and institutions. Having the character of an ethnic group means that it inevitably carries out international law violations and that compliance with international law would lead to unravelling its ethnic character. It purports to represent an ethnic group which is different than the indigenous ethnic group of the territory that it controls.

She is saying that it is a violation of international law to define a state by a national and ethnic group. She is saying it is a violation of international law to establish a state based on a national or ethnic group. She is saying that any state which has the character of an ethnic group violates international law and compliance with law can only occur when a state rejects its ethnic character. She is saying that the only viable state which can comply with international law is where the government represents the ethnic group of the indigenous peoples.

Wow. That is an ASTONISHING claim. Truly, ridiculously, astonishing. I would really, really like to see her links on that. Because I can not think of a single State in the world that complies with that (cough cough) interpretation of international law.

Dr Marc Lamont Hill talks about his trip to Palestine

2604 years after the Dispersion. 2604 years after Jewish land was stolen. 2604 years after the Jewish people were dislocated, pushed from their homes, killed. 2604 years of the international community watched vulnerable Jews have their lives taken, we remain committed ... until every single Jew is home again.


There. Fixed it for you.

Palestinian Journalists Syndicate accuses CNN of consenting to 'Zionist lobby'

“We cannot endorse a narrow politics of respectability that shames Palestinians for resisting, for refusing to do nothing in the face of state violence and ethnic cleansing.”

The Palestinian group said it wanted to honor Hill for his “courageous positions.” CNN’s decision to sever ties with Hill, it added, was a “blatant violation of freedom of expression and blind bias in favor of the occupation and colonialism.”

The decision, it added, “exposes the falsity of CNN’s claim to be objective and neutral.” The group also accused CNN of “abandoning the ethics of journalism” by firing the American academic.

Palestinian journalists are expected to gather on Monday at the Bedouin shantytown of Khan al-Ahmar east of Jerusalem – whose residents are facing eviction – to express their support for Hill.‭‮

Firing Marc Lamont Hill Would Violate the First Amendment

Palestine Legal issued the following statement today, in response to an escalating campaign calling on Temple University to fire Professor of Media Studies and Urban Education Marc Lamont Hill, and following CNN’s termination of its contract with him on Thursday, November 29, only 24 hours after he called for equal rights for all in historic Palestine in a speech at a United Nations event marking the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

To show your support for Hill:

• Call or write CNN and tell them you disapprove of their silencing of a critical voice for racial justice and human rights, including Palestinian rights.
  
  
• Write Temple’s Board of Trustees (trustees@temple.edu) and tell them you support Hill, and that they have a legal obligation to protect Hill from the pressure campaign to undermine him for his principled support for full equality for Palestinians.
  
  
• Show your support on social media by tweeting at @marclamonthill, @CNN and @TempleUniv, with the hashtag #IStandWithMLH
  
  
• Sign petitions in support of Hill:
  
  • Action Network
    
    
  • IfNotNow

Wait, what?! So, the declaration "from the river to the sea" is objective and neutral?!

Please. A call for "equal rights" would be something like, "BOTH the Jewish people and the Arab Palestinian people have a long history in the territory and have the rights to self-determination, respect and recognition."

AND, if the call was for equal rights, it would be an United Nations event marking the International Day of Solidarity with the Jewish and Arab people of Israel and Palestine.
