Claim: Bill Clinton said Palestinians “never really wanted a homeland for themselves” and “just wanted to kill the Jews.”


Rating: FALSE


Explanation: The viral quote altered Clinton’s October 2024 remarks. He was referring to Hamas, not Palestinians broadly, and said Hamas wanted to kill Israelis, not “the Jews.”
