CNN has fired commentator Marc Lamont Hill one day after he gave a speech at the UN calling for a "free Palestine from the river to the sea." A network spokesperson told @Mediaite that he is "no longer under contract." pic.twitter.com/nToPW2MuBU

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.

CNN should immediately re-hire @marclamonthill and apologize to the world. Here's a petition telling them that: https://t.co/RtipEds2tP
