“A Free Palestine from the River to the Sea”: The 9 Dirty Words You Can’t Say (on T.V. or Anywhere Else)

Abstract

This piece was originally published with The Hampton Institute and republished with Monthly Review. The firing of Prof. Marc Lamont Hill from CNN for pro-Palestinian comments he made during a speech at the U.N.--and the subsequent targeting of Hill for firing by a trustee at Temple University where he is a tenured professor--represents a broader silencing of critics of US imperialism, global capitalism, and settler colonialism in the mainstream media and academia.
