Hillary Clinton has complained about people who support Palestine on American college grounds. She thinks they don’t know enough about Middle Eastern history. On a show called “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, Clinton said she’s worried because many young supporters she’s met don’t know much about Middle East history, or world history in general, even American history.
Clinton specifically mentioned Yasir Arafat, the former leader of the Palestinian Authority, and the Camp David Summit in 2000. She emphasized that many young people are unaware that Palestinians could have had their own state if Arafat had agreed to an agreement mediated by her husband, President Bill Clinton.
Clinton’s social media talk upset many. People say she doesn’t get kids and their worries. But she stands by her view that we must know our past to run a good campaign.
The fights on college grounds show more of the Israel-Palestine clash. It’s a hard topic with a long past. We need to know a lot to deal with it.
And now, TikTok brings new issues. Fake news is a big deal there. We all must think hard and teachers must give facts.
