Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

We see some Muslims on YouTube arguing that unless you support genocide by a lawbreaking Israeli leader and enabler of Hamas, you hate all Jews.
You can be an Israeli supremacist or an Islamist supremacist, they say, and there is no alternative.
Actually, atheism is sounding better and better.
