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

Former US president Bill Clinton came to his wife’s defense on May 13 when the focus of a campaign event for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton shifted to Israel.

During a speech discussing his wife’s policy positions in New Jersey, a member of the audience interjected, “What about Gaza?” and criticized her recent statement that neutrality is not an option when it comes to Israel, Politico reported.

“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.”
