HILLARY HECKLED OVER LIBYA, PALESTINIANS

Hillary Clinton was double-heckled during a speech she gave at Columbia University on the topic of sexual violence in conflicts.

As she was about to start, a man shouted that she was a war criminal - citing US involvement in Libya, as well as in Iraq, Syria and Yemen, “and now [against] the people of Palestine!” She waited for him to be removed before proceeding to deliver her address.

Later during the talk, she was interrupted by another protester, who told her she should be ashamed, accusing her (and Washington) of exploiting sexual violence in Libya to justify US intervention - adding that this was happening again now in Gaza to justify genocide.

For context, Hillary Clinton was the US Secretary of State when NATO bombed Libya and backed violent militants in the country to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi. In the lead-up to the regime-change operation, the US repeated unverified claims - later proven to be untrue - that Gaddafi's soldiers were taking Viagra and raping Libyan women. Moments after Gaddafi himself was sodomised and killed by NATO-backed forces, Clinton shared a laugh with a television news reporter saying on camera, "We came, we saw, he died!"

What would you say to Clinton if you had the chance?
