Dr. Kevorkian, this is Helen Thomas

So, Helen Thomas, remember how you stupidly told someone with a camera (the red light means they're taking movies of you!) that the Jews need to get out of the region of Palestine? Well, even as you did leave your post, you still didn't understand what was wrong.

According to Ms. Thomas, Jews could have stayed in Poland and Germany because there wasn't any persecution after World War II. It's funny, because I could swear that all of Poland and half of Germany was taken over by one Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union, who considered the Jews to be spies for the West and restricted their rights. Of course, Thomas also forgets that others are subjugating the Palestinians, like the Jordanians, who give the Palestinians that make up 2/3 of their population no say in governance in favor of Hashemite and tribal dominance politically and economically. And the Egyptians put restrictions on Gaza following the 1948 War that essentially sealed shut any sort of talk of Palestinian independence. And what about the Kuwaitis responding to the position Palestinians were given until Desert Storm took Iraqi rule out of the kingdom.

What Helen Thomas needs is a history lesson before she talks, but I guess her ignorance continues to get the better of her. I'm sorry you have to be so ignorant, but now we don't have to hear your "pointed" questions during White House Press Conferences anymore, and hopefully your limited scope is shut out of all media. Or just preface every comment she makes.
