Hillary Clinton recently criticized pro-Palestinian protesters, particularly on college campuses, stating that they lack substantial knowledge about the history of the Middle East and have been influenced by what she described as propaganda, which she clarified is neither 'information' nor 'education'. Clinton highlighted that her interactions with young people over recent months revealed a general lack of historical knowledge, not only about the Middle East but also about other world regions, including the United States. Her comments have sparked reactions, with some accusing her of being condescending towards the protesters' understanding of history.

it says everything about how smug and condescending democratic leadership is that Clinton couldn't help not only besmirching the knowledge of protestors on the history of Israel and Palestine, she had to slip in an insult that they know very little about history, period https://t.co/QgWoWtbCYI
