"Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has claimed that the ignorance of young people and their consumption of content on social media is responsible for their opposition to Israel and its genocide in Gaza, blaming "made up" propaganda on Tuesday while speaking at a conference held by a far right Israeli publication. In remarks on Tuesday, Clinton said that the sentiments among young people following the October 7, 2023, attack are a "serious problem for democracy""
"Immediately following the attack, as Israel committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, there was an "organized effort" to spread anti-Israel sentiment, Clinton said - perhaps ignoring Israel's documented, multi-million dollar propaganda campaign organized with major corporations and the United States government. Speaking of students she taught and engaged with at Columbia University, she said "it was very difficult" to discuss the issue "because they did not know history.""
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed that young people’s ignorance of history and consumption of social media content drive opposition to Israel and create a serious problem for democracy. She attributed much of the opposition to "made up" propaganda and short-form videos spreading one-sided narratives. She said an organized effort emerged following the October 7, 2023 attack and lamented that Israel has the "worst PR of any group." Clinton referenced students at Columbia University who lacked historical context and said discussing the issue was "very difficult." The remarks occurred at a conference organized by a far-right Israeli publication.
