Sen. Chris Van Hollen on Sunday dinged Hillary Clinton for being “quite dismissive” in recent comments questioning the knowledge and perspective of anti-Israeli protesters who have stormed college campuses across the country.
Last week, Clinton went on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and derided some of the protesters saying they “don’t know very much at all about the history of the Middle East or frankly about history in many areas of the world.”
Van Hollen (D-Md.) contended that many of the student demonstrators had legitimate concerns about the Israel-Hamas war unfolding half a world away.
“I thought…that Secretary Clinton’s comments, in that regard, were quite dismissive of students’ concerns about the awful humanitarian crisis and high civilian death toll in Gaza,” Van Hollen told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
“I believe that the great majority of the students are protesting, are following very closely what’s happening in Gaza,” he went on. “They see what’s a very high civilian death toll.”
Clinton explained that she has “had many conversations” with younger people over the past seven months since the war erupted in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack that killed an estimated 1,200 Israelis.
She then underscored her husband, former President Bill Clinton’s efforts for a breakthrough in a two-state solution in the 1990s.

or for that matter, what Biden says?
I’m getting rally F’n tired of these people.
