It still was a terrible move by Arafat to reject it
I believe she made this comment years ago. Not recently. And she's not wrong to an extent on how educated young kids or adults are to the Middle East in general. The conflict stems back decades and getting their info from social media isn't the best way to be informed of the entire situation.The point isnt to be fully informed. The point is providing an alternative take on the scenario. As it only takes one for a person to completely re-evaluate and re-contextualize a story.
With that said, she's also being condescending to them. Instead of saying what she said, she can also be the one to educate them too on this matter. I'm sure she knows what the Israeli government is doing is fucked up and the young ones are in the right side of history empathizing with the Palestinians. But like most politicians, she's a Israel shill so it tracks.
No, it was a terrible move by Israel not to offer something acceptable.
Maybe we dodged a bullet with her loss in 2016
shut up. 2016 everyone was pro-Israel and anti-Palestine even leftists.I certainly wasnt.

The BDS movement started in 2005. Muhammad Ali was protesting for Palestine in the 1980s FFS. Malcolm X visited Gaza in the '60s.Ah, ok. Personally, I've always been against US involvement in the Middle East. Trade is fine, but let them solve their own conflicts. Maybe keep a few spies in there just in case they might try to retaliate.

Is there a reason an "actual leftist" is making a topic about an old statement by Hillary Clinton, btw?
She said this at an event in New York on October 29th.
So current. So relevant.
So current. So relevant.I'd agree if this was more 2016 stuff, but that's, like, 12 days.
What the hell are you talking about? Barely a week ago isn't current?
I would challenge you all to actually listen to what she says. Its 90 seconds long.
Not only is it not overly critical of young people, she spends most of the time talking about the older generation of Democrats (including herself) and the social media that is obviously the biggest reason the students she talked about were misinformed.
The only way to spin this as her shitting on kids for being uneducated is if you buy the premise that social media isnt misinforming people.
Gasp.Im more concerned with CEs propensity to just click the topic and respond to the title without bothering to listen or read for themselves.
You mean...someone would...
Go on the internet and....tell lies?
No, I don't think a statement from Hillary Clinton almost two weeks ago is very relevant, tbqh.
Maybe there's a universe where Clinton is on her second non-consecutive presidential term, but it's not this one
It's not my fault a Zionist said something asinine recently.
It is your fault you decided a nearly two week old comment from a retired individual who holds no public office was worthy of a topic, though. Don't get petulant when you get called out for skewed priorities.
Don't blame me for your hero saying something stupid.
What sets me off is 70,000 Palestinians massacred by a colonial state.
Using that we a shield because you made a bad topic is gauchetraditionally i think you're supposed to use a dagger gauche

It's a topic about Hillary Clinton holding water for Israel...
outdated
I don't know how anyone could watch the clip and not agree with the topic title/OP as a summation of it without deliberately trying to misconstrue her meaning.
