Hillary Clinton is facing a deluge of criticism after stating that young Americansā growing support for Palestinians is influenced by ātotally made-upā videos on TikTok and suggesting that American youth - including young Jews - ādonāt know history and donāt understandā Israelās war on Gaza.
Speaking on Tuesday at a summit hosted by the right-wing Israeli paper Israel Hayom in New York City, the former Democratic presidential candidate expressed her concerns that āsmart, well-educated young peopleā in America and around the world are getting a lot of their information, including about Israel and Palestine, from social media platforms like TikTok.
The former US secretary of state described it as āserious problem for democracyā, remarking that when she attempted to have āreasonable discussionsā with young people, it was challenging because āthey did not know history, they had very little context, and what they were being told on social media was not just one-sided, it was pure propaganda".
Ah yes, because some historical context will certainly justify the genocide.
Historical context show that palestinians was victim of settler colonialism and ethrnic cleansing
Even then it doesnāt. Palestinians have been there for thousands of years. They didnāt just appear overnight. Theyāre the remnants of Canaanites and Jews who stayed after they were exiled. Many of them adopted Islam and Arab culture during the conquests. Arabs didnāt come in and wipe out the indigenous population and replace them. Same with Egyptian, Libyan, and Turkish people. Thatās why theyāre not all the same and have drastically different cultures and languages, and not just standard Arabic.
