Hillary Clinton Calls Out Pro-Palestinian Protesters

(National Review) Zach Kessel - Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Saturday sharply criticized pro-Palestinian protesters at American universities. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, she expressed her dismay over the students at countless institutions of higher education, including Columbia University where she teaches, who began rallying against Israel in the immediate aftermath of Hamas' Oct. 7 attack. "There is an invidious strain of antisemitism that has never gone away - but we had hopes it had been, certainly, submerged - that has been poking its head up quite some time now." "What is so frustrating is that people have little to no information about all the efforts that were made, literally starting in 1948, but certainly moving most dramatically to the year 2000, to actually create a state for the Palestinian people. I say that because even when I'm teaching with very smart students...they have no idea about any of this." "They have no idea about the collapse of the peace process, the rise of an intifada. They have no idea about then-prime minister Ariel Sharon, a man noted for his military experience, withdrawing from Gaza. They have no idea of Hamas' takeover of Gaza." "They have no idea that another Israeli prime minister back when I was secretary of state, namely [Benjamin] Netanyahu, was willing at least to keep talking about some kind of two-state solution process."
