Helen Thomas: Tell Them to Get the Hell Out of Palestine

Submitted by casseia on Sat, 2010-06-05 22:24.


When asked by a reporter if she had any thoughts on Israel, she said "tell them to get the hell out of Palestine." Predictably, her use of "they" is translated by the reporter in a follow up question as "Jews" -- and she doesn't challenge the assumption... but that's kinda what you get when you persist in calling Israel the "Jewish State," n'est-ce pas? Moreover, she suggests that "they" (the Zionist colonials occupying Palestine?)return not only to Germany and Poland, but to the United States. (My own belief is that no one should have to leave a peaceful, unitary Palestinian state, and it is true as the caption of the video suggests that Jews have always lived in Palestine.)

And btw, Poland's Jewish population, which was devastated in World War II and then again in 1968 when the Communist government expelled many Poles who identified as Jewish, is making a comeback: http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/09/30/poland.jewish.revival/index.h...
