Helen Thomas

There won't be another like her...

"Retired", eh? Fired, more like it...

I don't think her remarks were anything to apologize for, really.

I love how her suggesting the Jews get out of Palestine turn into this:

"Helen's statement calling for the religious cleansing of Israel is reprehensible," Fleischer said.

Knee-jerk politics.

Kudos to her, and to the rest.

crap like this really pisses me off.

it's a goddamn joke that it's forbidden to criticize israel in any way and if you do, you are labeled an anti-semite by the powerful lobbying groups like ADL, who just loves the prosecution complex.

the documentary 'defamation' is a good one about how anti-semetism or the percieved anti-semetism plays a role in todays politics, especially in america.

Anyone catch the Israeli Ambassador on the Cobert Report last night? Colbert asked, in reference to Helen Thomas's comments, "Why don't the Palestinians go back to where THEY came from?". lol.

This was great:

Couldn't have said it better myself, RE: you can't criticize anything Israel does, you have to support all or nothing.
