Hillary Clinton to Bestow Award on Journalist Who Equated Israel With Nazis and Accused Jewish Critics of Seeking ‘Money and Power’

Maria Simulescu

When media publisher Maria Ressa delivered a commencement speech at Harvard University in 2024, she said her pro-Israel critics were after "money and power," prompting a rabbi affiliated with the university to walk off the dais. Now, Hillary Clinton is giving her namesake award to Ressa, the CEO of Rappler , who ran an editorial equating Israel with Nazi Germany. Clinton herself is scheduled to bestow the award on Ressa, a 2021 Nobel Peace Prize recipient , at Georgetown University next Tuesday.
