Need proof?

Tell me how much you hear in the mainstream media about whats happening in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Oh, thats right, nothing. Now someone like Helen comes along and says something controversial.

Someone in the MM is playing with fire by saying Palestinians are anything but terrorists.
Thomas is an animal of the most extreme leftist element of this society.
Of course you agree with her. Only another of her ilk would.

If Obama honors her again by bringing her into the whitehouse, he's going to embarass and disgrace the office of the presidency.

Clearly, there are some on this board who agree with her sentiments.

I wonder how they would react if she said all blacks should go back to Africa?

Quite a bit different I would suspect.

But when you have a far left Jew-hater like Helen and those of her ilk, the moderate dems need to come out, which is what they are doing.

Or how about all illegal hispanics should get out of the US (or even just Arizona for starters)? How would that type of comment be received?

Hmm, waging for all blacks to go back to Africa is really a different animal. The way you post the comparison may , for some, be thought provoking and inflammatory, but doesnt really relate to the topic at hand.

How that comment would be received is off topic, considering that there are programs to welcome and support Jews into the German society so the comparison is really impossible and irrelevant.

This is good;

An open letter to Helen Thomas

Quote:
IN THE 62 years of our existence, we have had seven wars, thousands of terror attacks, buses which have exploded in streets, firing into schools, mortars fired on kindergartens. Yet you wish to exile us back to the inferno, as if nothing happened 65 years ago in Europe, as if our hands have not been stretched out for peace since the establishment of the state?
Excellent letter to that hag of a bigot.

Israeli's are home - they have lived there for thousands of years. They have made Israel what it is today, through ingenuity and perseverance, fighting enemies that surround them every step of the way.

Ok Sanrene. Whatever you say. Where do you live? What tribal claim existed for the territory you now call your home before it was razed to dust to allow for settlers?

If you want to take to the claim of "having lived there for thousands of years" I suggest you take your sight off of Israel and look domestically. Your land was probably made possible through slaughter and genocide. Lets forget about American history and obsess about the plight of the Israeli's because it is oh so much more relevant.
