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".
I canāt believe people still pay her to speak at these events. What a waste of money.
Not at all. Sheās a node in a national network of reactionary plutocrats. What youāre hearing is the echo of dozens of NYC billionaires and their multi-millionaire subordinates all chanting the same thing.
Hillary is a megaphone one group of rich people use to talk to another
