🔥Hillary Clinton Called "Genocide Denier" by Leading Genocide Prevention Organization Named After Holocaust Survivor
When a former Secretary of State mocks young people for rejecting genocide, the problem isn’t TikTok. The problem is her soul.

The Moment Hillary Clinton Stood on Stage and Denied a Genocide
At the Israel Hayom Summit, Hillary Clinton — a former Secretary of State and someone who still pretends to be a champion of human rights — stood on stage and declared that the reason millions of Americans now oppose Israel’s genocide in Gaza is simply because Israel has “the worst PR” and because young people are “falling for propaganda” on TikTok.
This was not a misstep or an accident. It was a worldview. She looked at tens of thousands of murdered children, at livestreamed famine, at hospitals reduced to dust, at families buried alive, and concluded that the real issue was… marketing.
Not the bodies. Not the mothers screaming in the rubble. Not the starvation of an entire people.
PR.
The depth of that moral rot is breathtaking.
The Lemkin Institute Stepped In — And Their Words Were Unmistakable
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security, named after Raphael Lemkin — the Holocaust survivor who literally created the word “genocide” — issued one of the sharpest rebukes I have ever seen directed at a major U.S. political figure.
They wrote:
“Hillary Clinton’s remarks amount to outright genocide denial.”
From an institution built to prevent genocides, run by experts who worked directly with survivors from Iraq, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Myanmar — that accusation carries enormous weight.
These are not pundits.
They are not influencers.
They are not partisans.
They are genocide scholars who spend their lives studying the patterns of mass atrocity. When they use the phrase “genocide denial,” it is not rhetoric. It is a diagnosis.
Let me just go ahead and give you their full statement…
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security feels called to point out that former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s recent remarks at the Israel Hayom Summit on 2 December amount to outright genocide denial.
During her remarks, the Secretary correctly noted that the recent deterioration of Israel’s standing among U.S. voters is not a “Republican versus Democrat kind of divide” but rather a generational one. Nevertheless, she incorrectly diagnosed the reasons for the shift as a matter purely of optics, stating that “Israel [has] the worst PR of any group” and accusing social media, particularly TikTok, of presenting “pure propaganda” that American youth are uncritically ingesting.
Secretary Clinton’s framing is not at all an accurate reflection of why Americans are growing more critical of Israel. Young Americans of all political stripes have not fallen prey to propaganda, though that is always a legitimate concern. Rather, they have consumed two years of videos depicting Israel’s genocide against Palestinians that have been uploaded by Palestinian journalists, ordinary people trying to survive in Gaza, IDF soldiers, and ordinary Israelis themselves. There has been no convincing refutation of the sheer amount of raw evidence of genocide coming out of Palestine. Young people in the U.S. are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well.
Secretary Clinton appears not to be bothered by the reality of genocidal violence – in fact, she did not mention anything about it. Her concern is, rather, in her words, “the narrative” – the fact that these crimes are no longer hidden and are now being live-streamed and documented in real time, making it harder for her and others to control it. TikTok cannot be blamed for the fact that many members of Gen Z understand that Israel is committing genocide, since so many other people, including those who never look at TikTok, also hold that view. Apart from the Lemkin Institute, the vast majority of large, mainstream human rights organizations, the UN, and many scholars as well as international legal bodies have denounced Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide. Many carefully researched reports by international organizations have established that Israel’s crimes meet the international legal threshold for genocide. We encourage the former Secretary to read them.
It is in fact highly ironic to blame TikTok for the dissemination of content laying bare the realities of Israel’s genocide in Palestine. Like many other social media conglomerates, TikTok has been accused of systematic censorship of pro-Palestinian content. In July of this year, TikTok appointed an ex-IDF instructor as its new manager of hate speech. This person can hardly be accused of pro-Palestinian views given her background and stated opinions. It appears that what Secretary Clinton really means to say is that TikTok is not being effective enough at censoring the truth.
What truly seems to unsettle Secretary Clinton is not “misinformation,” but rather the fact that younger generations are no longer consuming a single, state-controlled narrative. They are accessing unfiltered images and testimonies that challenge decades of political messaging. This helps explain why TikTok has become a target, not because it is misleading students, but precisely because the content uploaded by its users allow them to see beyond official propaganda.
When former Secretary Clinton calls this “a serious problem for democracy,” it sounds less like a defense of democratic values and more like concern for the weakening of a long-standing political and ideological agenda, one that, it must be stated, is highly undemocratic.
Secretary Clinton did get one thing right, although quite inadvertently: When you do not have the truth on your side, all you left with is indeed optics and “the narrative.” But she is wrong to think that any amount of PR – even really great and expensive PR – is going to hide this genocide. Israel would be better served by advice to end the genocide, engage in a transformational process that brings the perpetrators to justice, and build a future with Palestinians. That is the only way to change its image.
America’s young people are no longer fooled by genocide denial – whether it is being presented by Israel, the United States, Sudan, Myanmar, Russia, or Secretary Clinton herself. They are tired of and appalled by the continued genocides around the world and are willing to risk their degrees and their careers to let the world know it.
The Lemkin Institute continues to support students and young people worldwide for having the courage to stand up for their convictions, to speak truth to power, and to fight against the scourge of genocide in Palestine and elsewhere.
Secretary Clinton’s remarks are not only inaccurate – they are also a shameful example of the lengths to which people complicit in genocide will go to deny its existence.
Young People Aren’t Falling for Propaganda — They’re Rejecting Genocide
Hillary Clinton stood on stage and essentially declared that Gen Z is too naïve to know what they’re seeing. But the Lemkin Institute flipped her entire argument on its head.
They said that young people have spent two years watching unfiltered videos from journalists in Gaza, from Palestinians documenting their own destruction, from Israeli soldiers uploading proof of war crimes, and from Israeli civilians bragging about atrocities. Young people didn’t “fall” for propaganda — they saw reality for themselves.
They watched the bombs dropping in real time.
They saw starving families holding up empty pots.
They listened to doctors begging the world for help after their hospitals were hit.
They watched soldiers mock the dead.
They saw the truth — unmediated, unedited, undeniable.
Hillary Clinton thinks the problem is TikTok.
The problem is that her generation can’t control the narrative anymore.
The Real Threat to Hillary Clinton Is the Collapse of Her Narrative
The Lemkin Institute said it plainly: Hillary Clinton is not alarmed by misinformation — she is alarmed that people are no longer swallowing the official U.S.–Israeli storyline.
For decades, politicians like her controlled the narrative. They dictated what Americans saw, what they believed, and what they were allowed to question. News passed through a narrow pipeline — CNN, the Times, a handful of networks — all filtered before reaching the public.
But now millions of people see the truth directly. A 17-year-old with a phone in Rafah can show the world a genocide faster and more honestly than the State Department ever could.
And that terrifies people like Hillary Clinton.
Not because democracy is at risk.
But because the lie is failing.
The Only List We Need: What Hillary Clinton Ignored in Gaza
Here is the one moment where clarity demands a list. These are the realities she refused to name:
She ignored the tens of thousands of Palestinian children killed or maimed.
She ignored the deliberate use of starvation as a weapon.
She ignored the violations of every ceasefire, every agreement, and every standard of international law.
She ignored the rulings and warnings of the ICJ, UN, and human rights organizations.
She ignored the grieving families, the mass graves, the displacement of nearly two million people.
She saw all of that — and blamed bad PR.
This is why the Lemkin Institute called her statement “a shameful example of genocide denial.”
Survivors of Genocide Keep Saying the Same Thing — And Hillary Proved It True
One of the most devastating insights from the Lemkin Institute comes from their years working with survivors in Iraq after ISIS’s genocide. They said that again and again, survivors told them the same thing:
“The worst part was feeling like the world did not care.”
Hillary Clinton proved their fear right.
The bombs she ignores are real.
The bodies she refuses to see are real.
The starvation she minimizes is real.
She is not bothered by genocide — she is bothered that young people see the genocide.
She is bothered that they care.
This Is Not About TikTok — It’s About Power
Hillary Clinton’s generation built its political worldview on imperial narratives — “America brings democracy,” “Israel is defending itself,” “Arab lives are expendable.” These narratives shaped decades of policy, war, displacement, and death.
But that era is ending. Young people are not buying it anymore. They’re informed, connected, morally awake, and unwilling to accept the violence their government funds.
Hillary Clinton is watching her worldview collapse in front of her. So she lashes out at the platform — TikTok — instead of the horror that young people are exposing.
This isn’t about social media.
It’s about a political class that cannot survive without lies.
A New Generation Is Teaching the World to See Again
Generation Z has become the moral conscience of the world. They’ve marched across college campuses, stood up to police forces, risked their futures, endured suspensions and arrests, and refused to back down.
They aren’t manipulated — they’re awake.
They aren’t ignorant — they’re informed.
They aren’t naïve — they’re courageous.
And they aren’t alone. The Lemkin Institute stands with them. Survivors of genocides from Iraq to Bosnia stand with them. Millions across the world stand with them.
The people Hillary Clinton mocks are the ones carrying the moral burden she dropped years ago.

This should be all over the mainstream news. Had this same organization said Mamdani was denying genocide it would be front page news.
She and her spineless, cowardly generation of politicians need to go.
