Marc Lamont Hill isn’t an anti-Semite! He just says anti-Semitic things. Totally different:
Former CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill claimed that news outlets like NBC and ABC were “Zionist organizations” that produced “Zionist content,” during a panel at the annual Netroots Nation summit. @Bencjacobs reports https://t.co/K2xEGmbg1l

More from Jewish Insider:
He made his comments during a panel on “embedding Palestinian rights in the 2020 agenda,” which also featured statements that Israel was engaged in a “white supremacist” project.
In response to a question from the audience, Hill described the choices faced by young journalists when they tell stories about Palestinians.
“They’re like, I want to work for Fox, or I want to work for ABC or NBC or whoever. I want to tell these stories,” he said. “You have to make choices about where you want to work. And if you work for a Zionist organization, you’re going to get Zionist content. And no matter how vigorous you are in the newsroom, there are going to be two, three, four, 17, or maybe one powerful person — not going to suggest a conspiracy — all news outlets have a point of a view. And if your point of view competes with the point of view of the institution, you’re going to have challenges.”
Wooow the antisemitic bigot continues to be an antisemitic bigot

Wait are you telling me he’s an extremist and a bigot? Shocking development.

He’s in good company. It seems Netroots Nation is a veritable smorgasbord of anti-Semitism:
What a shitshow. https://t.co/MiGuimk1vk pic.twitter.com/5rYwecOotJ

Sounds like one hell of an ideas summit.
Those who had “benefits of a doubt” re @marclamonthill if he is an antisemite or not. You can come out, there is no doubts anymore. https://t.co/B5GFo0utOs

“Media is controlled by Jew” is so edgy. They can’t even come up with new tropes.
Must just be more of that criticism of Israel. Reminder that Rashida Tlaib extensively praised and promoted him after his antisemitic comments got him dropped from CNN. https://t.co/ixYuWYZA7H

Calling out the oppressive policies in Israel, advocating for Palestinians to be respected, and for Israelis and Palestinians alike to have peace and freedom is not antisemitic. @CNN, we all have a right to speak up about injustice any and everywhere. @marclamonthill https://t.co/YT49WCxVbo

And then there’s this:
Didn't Elizabeth Warren attend that conference? She should get asked if she rejects such blatant anti-Semitism. https://t.co/xIYMUXji6d

She did. Along with Kirsten Gillibrand, Jay Inslee, and Julián Castro.
Quite a club they’ve got going for themselves.
