Hillary Clinton Speech Disrupted was 1 Million Iraqis not enough?

Despite repression, protests have not wavered against US funding, arming and providing diplomatic cover for Israel as it continues more than a year of an onslaught and siege in Gaza.

Disrupting speeches has been a popular tactic, as in this video where a protester interrupted a live event in Chicago featuring former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, calling out her support for the US war on Iraq and the current Israeli military onslaught in Gaza. Clinton has said calling for a ceasefire would ‘perpetuate the cycle of violence.’

As if the killings and destruction in Gaza were not enough, the US, through unlimited support, is stoking the flames as Israel escalates attacks in Lebanon, Iran, Syria and Yemen.

As Africans, we can’t let Clinton off the hook because she infamously said, ‘We came, we saw, he died’, in response to NATO-backed Libyan rebels k*lling Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. That wreaked chaos, collapsing the state and turning what once was Africa’s most prosperous country into three warring territories with open-air slave markets.

Do you think the Democratic Party’s alignment with Israel will cost them the election, as the protester says at the end of the video? Let us know in the comments.
