CNN fired commentator Mark Lamont Hill for speaking in favor of boycotting Israel for the sake of equal rights for Palestinians. This was described as "antisemitism".

His talk advocated a single state made up of what are now Israel and Palestine — a solution I do not support — and treats them unequally by calling that single state "Palestine". I don't like that position, but it is not antisemitic, because Israel and Jews are not the same.

I reject the claim that having two states is impossible, because the US has the power to pressure Israel quite firmly, and maybe it could bring about the return of the Palestinian land Israeli fanatics have colonized, if it tried. The US government is unwilling to try, but since it is unwilling to do anything towards any scheme for peace and equality between Israel and Palestine, that is no argument for preferring one such scheme to another. Following Uri Avnery, I advocate two states.

I am not dead-set on that solution. If Israelis and Palestinians come to support some other scheme for peace, then unless there is something gravely unjust about it, I will support giving it a try.
