In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton slams anti-Israel protests on college campuses, says students have been fed propaganda [View all]lapfog_1
(32,018 posts)You would expect them to know geography ( and a little about the history ) of the region in question.
And yet when a protester actually talk to reporters and the reporter asks them "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.. what river and what sea are you chanting about in your protest?" and few of them actually know the answer.
Now if anyone asks them a question they simply say "We are not trained yet" or "You need to talk to the leaders of the protest". As if they have no knowledge or opinion or can't defend their own argument that Hamas are freedom fighters and the IDF are "genocidal monsters".
so, yeah, Hillary is "slamming" the students protesting.
Of course we live in the post violent computer game world now where every fact check is "he/she/they were DESTROYED by the fact checker" Or when confronted by a different opinion online or in a interview... "they were SLAMMED by whoever".
Honestly when I read those sort of headlines I expect pictures of blood and gore and body parts everywhere and not a mild rebuke or alternate set of facts or something. But I'm just old I guess.
