Hill, a media professor and network pundit, called for countries to boycott and divest from Israel in a speech given for the U.N.’s International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. “I support Palestinian freedom. I support Palestinian self-determination,” Hill tweeted, adding, “I do not support anti-Semitism, killing Jewish people, or any of the other things attributed to my speech. I have spent my life fighting these things.
Hill’s hiring was approved by CUNY Grad Center president Robin Garrell with the backing of the CUNY BoardCUNY’s board of trustees issued a statement
