Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently criticized anti-Israel student protesters, accusing them of being ignorant about Middle Eastern affairs. She stated that these students lack knowledge about the history of the Middle East and other parts of the world, including the United States.
Clinton specifically referenced an offer made by her husband, former President Bill Clinton, to then-Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat during his time in office. She highlighted that the offer included granting Palestinians a state on 96% of the existing territory occupied by them, with the remaining 4% to be given to Israel, aiming to achieve 100% of the desired territory.
Clinton's remarks were based on her interactions with young people over the past few months, indicating that her observations were drawn from multiple conversations with students. The former Secretary of State's comments came in the wake of anti-Israel student protests that have erupted in various educational institutions across the country following the terrorist attacks by Hamas on Israel on October 7 and Israel's subsequent military response.
