Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton slammed young pro-Hamas protesters during an interview this week, saying that they knew very little about history anywhere.

Clinton, who made the remarks during a Thursday interview on MSNBC, said that most had no idea that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had brokered a deal in which the Palestinians would have been given 96% of what they wanted but they rejected it.

“First of all, I have had many conversations, as you have had, with a lot of young people over the last many months now. You are right. 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, including in our own country,” she said of the young left-wing protesters on college campuses.

“With respect to the Middle East, they don’t know in the bringing together by my husband of, the then-Israel Prime Minister Ehud Barak, the then-head of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and then the Palestinian Authority, Yasser Arafat,” she said. “An offer was made to the Palestinians for a state on 96% of the existing territory occupied by the Palestinians with 4% of Israel to be given to reach 100% of the amount of territory that was hoped for.”

“This offer was made. And if Yasser Arafat had accepted it, there would have been a Palestinian state now for about 24 years,” she continued. “It’s one of the great tragedies of history that he was unable to say yes. You know, my husband has a book coming out later this year in which he talks about how Arafat kept saying he wanted to agree, but he was pretty sure he’d be killed.”
