Showing Original Post only (View all)Hillary Clinton: Youth 'woefully uninformed' on Israeli-Palestinian conflict [View all]
While speaking alongside Deborah Lipstadt, the US special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism at the Munich Security Conference, Hillary Clinton told her audience that young people in America are woefully uninformed about antisemitism and the Holocaust, while denouncing its rise in the United States.
Clinton provided an example while she was speaking at a panel discussing conflict-related sexual violence. Last week, we had three panels about Ukraine, and they were superb. They went off without a hitch. We learned a lot and were challenged, she began. While speaking at the panel discussing conflict-related sexual violence, there were protests. The panel discussed sexual violence in Ukraine, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Israel.
You just have to ask yourself how you could have an event focused on using rape as a tactic of war against women and girls, which is [used] in conflict across the world, and you include the most recent horrendous example out of Israel, and that brings out the protesters, Clinton said.
She commented that there is an invidious strain of antisemitism that has never gone away that has been poking its head up for quite some time now.

OP
DISinformed is more like it ... there's massive propaganda more because it directly opposes Biden's policies

Israel, the modern nation state, is very young, only around since 1948. If you go back just 100 years there were only

I doubt Hillary is turning away the young people. Her comment didn't come out of the blue.
