❝Young people in the U.S. are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide .... Secretary Clinton’s remarks are not only inaccurate, they are also a shameful example of the lengths to which people complicit in genocide will go to to deny its existence.❞
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security feels called to point out that former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s recent remarks at the Israel Hayom Summit on 2 December amount to outright genocide denial. During her remarks, the Secretary correctly noted that the recent deterioration of Israel’s standing among U.S. voters is not a “Republican versus Democrat kind of divide” but rather a generational one. Nevertheless, she incorrectly diagnosed the reasons for the shift as a matter purely of optics, stating that “Israel [has] the worst PR of any group” and accusing social media, particularly TikTok, of presenting “pure propaganda” that American youth are uncritically ingesting.
Secretary Clinton’s framing is not at all an accurate reflection of why Americans are growing more critical of Israel. Young Americans of all political stripes have not fallen prey to propaganda, though that is always a legitimate concern. Rather, they have consumed two years of videos depicting Israel’s genocide against Palestinians that have been uploaded by Palestinian journalists, ordinary people trying to survive in Gaza, IDF soldiers, and ordinary Israelis themselves. There has been no convincing refutation of the sheer amount of raw evidence of genocide coming out of Palestine. Young people in the U.S. are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well. Secretary Clinton’s remarks are not only inaccurate, they are also a shameful example of the lengths to which people complicit in genocide will go to to deny its existence.

Yes. As @sarahkendzior once said, "I'd rather be authentically stupid than artificially intelligent." Or words to that effect.

My AZ favorite bookstore, @changinghands, has this corner with something I have never expected to happen: having to defend the right to write, publish, and read —and therefore, to think.

The @LemkinInstitute is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now.
No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits.
GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW.
IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT.
