BILL CLINTON: ‘I KILLED MYSELF TRYING TO GIVE PALESTINIANS A STATE:

Former USA President Bill Clinton came to his wife's defense on Friday, 13 May 2016 when the focus of a campaign event for the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton shifted to Israel. Amid a speech discussing his wife's positions on the major issues at an event in New Jersey, a member of the audience interjected "What about Gaza?" and criticized her statement that neutrality is not an option when it comes to Israel. "I killed myself to give the Palestinians a state," the former President responded. "I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza." When the audience member continued to press the issue, Clinton elaborated on the complicated nature of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. "Hamas is really smart. When they decide to rocket Israel, they insinuate themselves in the hospitals, in the schools, in the highly populous areas. Hamas has said they try to put the Israelis in a position of either not defending themselves or killing innocents. They're good at it," he elaborated.
