Hillary Clinton has attributed the rise in anti-Israel sentiment among young Americans to the spread of “pure propaganda” and fabricated videos regarding the violence in Gaza that have flooded social media platforms.

Speaking at a New York conference organized by the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom on Tuesday, the former Secretary of State questioned the sources from which well-informed, educated youth are obtaining their information. “From where were they getting their information?” Clinton inquired. “They were getting it from social media, particularly TikTok.”

She emphasized the impact of these platforms, stating, “That is where they were learning about what happened on October 7th and the events that unfolded in the days, weeks, and months thereafter. This poses a significant issue. It’s a grave concern for democracy, be it in Israel or the United States, and it’s a serious issue for our young people.”

Clinton highlighted that much of the digital content consumed by these youths about the Israel-Hamas conflict presents a skewed view, describing it as “pure propaganda.”

Clinton argued that much of the online content they were soaking up about the Israel-Hamas war was one-sided “pure propaganda.”

She added, too, that it was difficult to have reasonable discussions with some young people because they didn’t know the history of the conflict.

“It’s not just the usual suspects. It’s a lot of young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand,” she said.

“A lot of the challenge is with younger people. More than 50% of young people in America get their news from social media.”

“So just pause on that for a second. They are seeing short-form videos, some of them totally made up, some of them not at all representing what they claim to be showing, and that’s where they get their information.”
