Rep.-Elect Rashida Tlaib Defends Former CNN Commentator Marc Lamont Hill's Anti-Israel Comments

Congresswoman-elect Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), one of the first two Muslim American women elected to Congress, defended former CNN Commentator Marc Lamont Hill on Twitter Thursday after he was fired for an anti-Israel comment.

Hill, a professor at Temple University, spoke at a United Nations event for the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People on Wednesday.

During his remarks, he said countries should boycott Israel and called for a “free Palestine from the river to the sea.” He also argued that "we must recognize the right of an occupied people to defend themselves. We must prioritize peace, but we must not romanticize or fetishize it."

These comments drew a backlash from many, including the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), as the phrase “from the river to the sea” is used by Hamas and other anti-Israel terrorist groups and, according to ADL, the phrase implies the destruction of Israel.
