Hillary Clinton is facing a deluge of criticism after stating that young Americans’ growing support for Palestinians is influenced by “totally made-up” videos on TikTok and suggesting that American youth - including young Jews - “don’t know history and don’t understand” Israel’s 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 “smart, well-educated young people” 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 “serious problem for democracy”, remarking that when she attempted to have “reasonable discussions” with young people, it was challenging because “they 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".
Why would context even matter? A genocide is a genocide no matter the context. It can NEVER be justified.
I have had similar discussions with a right-wing conspiracy theorist (friend of my dad) that also used to justify genocide. I do think and hope that our conversation has led to some positive change in his views. He used to get super triggered when I called what is happening is Palestine a genocide but today I think he accepts it. Or at least he no longer denies it completely. I have stood my ground and kept challenging whatever he has said.
Don’t give up on the people around you! Take the discussion, challenge their views. Call out any attempt to justify genocide. You don’t need to argue with these people about facts, history or whatever. Just a call out of any attempt to justify genocide is enough. Don’t let them keep spreading their hate unchallenged. Violence and hate can never win.
I don’t use tiktok
Am pro palestine
make it make sense
“Tiktok” is when people use media old people can’t be arsed to learn about.
This is all media, new and old, that they aren’t already using.
Old dems should stfu
Sadly the “New Dems” is Richie Torres and Hakeem Jeffries.
So what Hillary is saying is the Democrat position, not just the old guard.
… by definition that makes them old dems…
Get bombed and tortured in an Israeli concentration camp you fucking bitch
She blamed Bernie Sanders for her failure and got with a dude in the Epstein files. Why would anyone trust her judgment??
Make like a toad and croak. Nobody likes you Hillary.
There’s a large gap between disliking and wishing for death, lol
If you have the power to influence politics that will lead to the death of innocents, I think it’s okay. Don’t be a fucking political figure if you can’t handle the heat, Clinton. It’s like saying “omg don’t bully celebrities”. They literally put themselves in public view. Of course people will say shit. This isn’t news. What else were they expecting? Everyone is nice and friendly? No, you come to expect that in the public eye.
Hey lady ! What the fuck happened to your face !? You look maga
Hillary Clinton is a pedophile
No its because Tik-Tok (until it got acquired by Oracle) didn’t ban Palestinian content like FB, X, and YouTube.
It’s infuriating that you can’t even find even half decent footage of any warzone on literally any media outlet because for some magical reason it gets deleted almost immediately on social media, which leaves it in limbo on whatsapp forwards.
i mean in a way tiktok is to blame or views on palestine… because tiktok was the first time you could see actual on the ground reporting from gaza instead of the sanitized version of the conflict in the us media. this is a good thing.
I think the reason they are pro-Palestine is because Israel is committing crimes against humanity, it really is that simple.
why is one of the very few people who could possibly lose to that disastrous GOP clown show allowed to speak about anything still‽

She’s catering to the far-right Israeli crowd under the illusion that interest group isn’t popularly considered toxic & waning in influence/political power.
Hopefully, the Clintons fucking disappear soon
There’s a line of Bari Weiss types circling the block to replace them
Go fight Donnie over Bubba’s dick and shut the fuck up. Genocide is bad, mmmkay? Can’t believe its hard to grasp.
It’s only hard to grasp because her and the entire politician class have been receiving
donationsbribes from Israel for decades.Yes American politicians value money and shareholder value more than human lives. They prove it every single day and not just foreigners either they hate the US citizens just as much.
I have the feeling that she targeted too the same preys
