Speaking as part of a panel of Jewish public officials on Tuesday, Robinson answered a question in part by saying there is an "entire generation" of young adults who do not know about the Holocaust or understand that the region on which the state of Israel was created decades ago was previously "a crappy piece of land with nothing on it."

"There were several hundred thousand people but, other than that, it didn't produce an economy. It couldn't grow things. It didn't have anything on it," she said during a public Zoom call hosted by B'nai Brith, an independent Jewish human rights organization.
