Hillary Clinton Slams Anti-Israel Protesters
(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton slammed the pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protest movement at American colleges in an interview Thursday on MSNBC. "I have had many conversations with a lot of young people over the last many months. They don't know very much at all about the history of the Middle East," she said. Clinton, a professor of public affairs at Columbia University, said students were ignorant of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process spearheaded by her husband, former President Bill Clinton, which collapsed in 2000 when an unprecedented land-for-peace offer was rejected by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. She said much of the student protesters' knowledge of the conflict came from "willfully false... incredibly slanted, pro-Hamas, anti-Israel" propaganda.
