Hello, and welcome to the ATP series we call Really Dumb Things, They Said. I’m Barry Nussbaum.

Former CNN talking head and current Temple University professor Marc Lamont Hill told an audience on the Clubhouse app last week that Palestinian children were, “disemboweled.”

During a presentation, he promoted the false anti-Semitic blood libel that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians. Lamont Hill made these accusations on a book tour.

He’s trying to sell books with that lie. So, just so we are clear on what he meant, disempowerment is evisceration or removal of some or all of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, usually through a horizontal incision made across the abdomen.

It’s been used as a method of torture and execution in bad historical times. In the history of the world there has never been this charge leveled against Israel or any members of its society. This anti-Semitic, anti-Israel professor just made up a monster lie.

He still has his job at Temple University. Shame on you, Marc Lamont Hill, and shame on you, Temple University, for not firing this bigot on the spot.

You are both really, really dumb.
