Well well well, we certainly hope Marc Lamont Hill is able to recover after the severe lashing Oliver Darcy gave him after he was ‘fired’ for what many consider anti-Semitic comments.
Wowza, so brutal.
You’re not buying this, right? Drat! And we would’ve gotten away with it too if it weren’t for you meddlesome readers!
Take a gander for yourself:
CNN severed ties w/Marc Lamont Hill today after he made remarks which were condemned by critics who said he called for end of the Israeli state. I reached out to Hill for comment. He didn't respond but he addressed the issue in string of tweets. My story: https://t.co/lAK1OSJqAT

Severed ties … is that like being fired? Asking for a friend.
From CNN:
Hill, who is also a professor at Temple University in Philadelphia, made the controversial comments during a meeting at the United Nations held for the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People on Wednesday.
In his remarks at that meeting, Hill said “we must advocate and promote non-violence,” but added that “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.”
Hill also called for a “free Palestine from the river to the sea.”
The comments were immediately condemned by critics who said Hill was calling for the end of the Israeli state.
Condemned by critics?! Brutal. Sheesh! Take it easy on the guy, Oliver.

Right?
Woah man hold yourself back a little bit. Don’t be so harsh.

He totally savaged Hill!
Ha.
I don’t want to hear about bigotry from anyone from CNN when every single one of you have been completely silent and tip toeing around his blantant anti-Semitism. CNN’s hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me.

“Critics were critical”
You left out the part where basically everyone else including the critics were offended

No "pounce" or "seize on"?
