The limits on the Israel-Palestine debate
Last week, a CNN pundit delivered a speech at the United Nations in support of Palestinian self-determination and equal rights.
Less than 24 hours later, CNN was done with Marc Lamont Hill. When you boil it down, he was fired for his use of the words 'from the river to the sea' - a reference to the territory of historic Palestine, situated between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean prior to the creation of Israel in 1948.
