No, no, let\u2019s abolish. Let\u2019s imagine new possibilities,\u2019 and one of the new possibilities that they\u2019ve imagined, um, is a world where, that is anti-imperialist,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0ZzGiZdZAZQ\">stated<\/a> Hill.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Temple U professor and BLM activist Marc Lamont Hill says the goal of Black Lives Matter is to &#8220;dismantle the Zionist project&#8221; and is &#8220;very explicitly embracing BDS&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/V9hKAm5jby\">pic.twitter.com\/V9hKAm5jby<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LevineJonathan\/status\/1361024479573512194?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 14, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cThey don\u2019t want to just nation build, but they want to world make,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd so Black Lives Matter very explicitly is talking about the dismantling of, um, of the Zionist project, dismantling of a settler-colonial project and very explicitly embracing BDS on those grounds.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The deliberate mischaracterization of Israel as a colonialist \u201csettler\u201d state is part of an anti-Semitic smear used to delegitimize Israel\u2019s right to exist. According to the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.holocaustremembrance.com\/resources\/working-definitions-charters\/working-definition-antisemitism\">working definition of anti-Semitism<\/a>\u201d provided by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) \u2014 a definition adopted and endorsed by the United States State Department under the Biden administration \u2014 this form of rhetoric is \u201cd<\/span><span>enying the Jewish people their right to self-determination,\u201d an example of anti-Semitism. In addition, the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction (BDS) movement has been criticized by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), who have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/resources\/backgrounders\/bds-the-global-campaign-to-delegitimize-israel\">stated<\/a> that \u201c<\/span><span>BDS advocates employ antisemitic rhetoric and narratives to isolate and demonize Israel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Earlier in the panel discussion, Hill also said that \u201cour fates are bound up with one another,\u201d that \u201cat the analytical level we understand that we can\u2019t dismantle white supremacy or imperialism \u2018section by section,\u2019 that these systems don\u2019t have passports or visas, they don\u2019t stop at borders, that these are international transnational movements,\u201d and that there was \u201cno way to stop a settler colonial movement in Palestine and not be mindful of its relationship to a settler colonial project in New Zealand or Australia or the United States.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Hill then continued to imply a connection between systemic police racism and Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019re literally engaged in intersectional struggles. One of the things that came up in the last few years with the movement for black lives was this question around police exchanges, just as one example. That U.S. police are being trained, some police departments are being trained in Israel, and some Israeli police are being trained in the United States,\u201d said Hill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After clarifying that this wasn\u2019t to say that Israel taught America \u201chow to be repressive or violent or kill black people,\u201d Hill continued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThere is something to be said about the rising authoritarianism, the expansion of a security state, the use of particular types of weaponry that we see both in Israel and the United States that speaks to a global system that we have to dismantle.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hill\u2019s language closely aligns with common anti-Israel rhetoric which \u201cfalsely posits that counterterrorism trips and conferences organized by American Jewish organizations \u2026 facilitate a \u2018deadly exchange\u2019 of worst practices between U.S. and Israeli forces.\u201d In a <a href=\"https:\/\/forward.com\/opinion\/449171\/i-am-the-architect-of-us-israel-police-exchange-programs-dont-believe-the\/\">piece<\/a> titled \u201cI am the architect of the U.S.-Israel police exchange. Don\u2019t believe the lies,\u201d Steven Pomerantz rejects this argument, which is often promoted by \u201cextremist organizations that oppose Israel\u2019s right to exist, and amplified by institutionally anti-Semitic regimes like Iran\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>In 2018, Hill was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/marc-lamont-hill-fired-cnn-after-his-speech-israel-draws-n942151\">fired<\/a> by CNN as a contributor after footage was uncovered in which he called for Palestine to be \u201cfree from the river to the sea,\u201d a pro-Palestinian slogan which seeks to achieve a \u201cone-state solution\u201d to the Israel-Palestinian conflict by replacing all of Israel with a Palestinian state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
