I just had to say something about Helen Thomas and her recent comments about the current state of Israel. Anti-semitism is nothing new, especially among reporters, but today one expects more, particularly from such a lionized figure. The video provided by RabbiLive.com has become a viral sensation.
“Get the hell out of Palestine!“
Where just should the Jews go?
“Poland. Germany. America.”
Talk about historical and cultural insensitivity. Of course she has been an idol to many on the Left for years. And this latest incident should vault her into icon status.
Here is a partial verbatim transcript of the video:
Helen Thomas: Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine. Remember, these people are occupied. And it’s their land. It’s not German, it’s not Poland.
Rabbi David Nessenoff: So where should they go? What should they do?
Thomas: They should go home.
Nessenoff: Where’s home?
Thomas: Poland, Germany.
Here’s some more of her quotes, and here’s an interview with her by a leftist blogger.
