In The Interview, Hill talks about his research in the region, the conditions he has witnessed for Palestinians, and why he believes the current situation is unsustainable without justice for all. He analyzes the media's evolution in covering the conflict, arguing coverage has improved over time but still defaults to an Israeli perspective.
Hill also discusses the controversy over his 2018 firing from CNN for comments made at the UN, pushback against the phrase "from the river to the sea," and the distinction between Hamas as a government vs terrorist organization. Additionally, he comments on the cancellation of Ayman Mohyeldin's MSNBC show and whether pro-Palestinian voices face censorship.
