Here’s the thing. I’ve been thinking about poor Helen Thomas, who I believe was probably just saying what everyone thinks and has therefore been made a scapegoat. Not that I really care, because we ought to share the scapegoat status once in a while. It’s the least we can do to dispel the stereotype that we are stingy, us irritating Jews.
Irritating enough, apparently - like the too-talented and too-bossy fame-hog Rachel Berry on Glee - in our discovery of the written word, monotheism, modern physics, psychology, vaccinations, and the film industry, that every country that has ever “hosted” us has found it necessary to tell us to get the hell out, like Thomas did. (Ironically, the aforementioned Jewish Glee character Rachel, in a particularly annoying moment in one episode, was told by classmates to move to Israel. I doubt the writers coordinated this telling joke with the State Department - sorry J Street, Jews do equal Israel in the eyes of the world.)

If you look carefully at what she wrote, she implies falsely that Christians have some kind of ongoing grudge towards the Jews. (I.e. that the Muslims have now “caught up” with them. Excuse me, read your bible; it’s a problem which dates back to Ishmael and Isaac. Modern Christianity generally has no beef with the idea of not just “tolerating” but actually blessing the Jewish race.)
One word (which i cannot say)
Sarah Silverman
Dear HELL in Thomas,
Take your arabs out of israel and go back to koranusland where they came from.
COMPLETE THE POPULATION TRANSFER.
They are a stiff-necked and rebellious people but He has made his covenant and will not forsake them.
She’s right about them not going anywhere this time... I believe soon they will apprehend why.
CAUTION
Crazy ass Liberal Jew speaking. Vulgarity and hate while expressing a message of ‘peace’.

That is quite outside of what I mentioned, although they do get divinely chastised when they forget who has helped them (God doesn’t forget, though).
The stiff neck might refer to ignoring the blessing the church (the real Church) has bestowed on them in honor of God’s covenant.
Why does the evil looking Helen Thomas not go back to Lebanon?
They tend to forget divine favor and repaint their history as though they had engineered their own luck; even when thinking of what God has done there is a tendency to think of how they somehow earned it after all. The church’s help in times past and today is part of that, but not all of it. If all had been left to luck and merit, there would not be an identifiable Jewish people today.
Helen Thomas is so yesterday, like a pile of steaming dog crap that is slowing turning gray and dried out.
Gee, that description also fits Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer (she’s really aged in a week), and the queen of hair styles, Maxine “Red” Waters.
Small world isn’t it.
They are an admirable people- so torn by world events and discrimination- yet still a reasonably cohesive, effective and purposeful extended nation.
The faithful Jewry- whether Ashkenazic or Sephardic awaits the Messiah.
The faithful will not be disappointed, though they might be surprised.
Isaiah read carefully establishes our eternal bond, IMHO.
God’s work is the only thing that’s admirable. It may be admirable through the people, but yet it is God’s work that is admirable.
Their faith in the face of adversity makes me admire the Israelites. They are no different in terms of being sinners in need of salvation like you and I.
The oppressed who have faith reveal the glory of God.
I think she was a little too angry to be careful rather than antagonistic, but I see your point.
Faith, too, is given as a gift when God is ready to do it and it often is under circumstances that scarcely serve as a compliment to those who exercise the faith.
It may be useful to note in a theological-sociological context that Barack Obama has more Arab (Ishmael) in him than he has black, and his supposed Christian testimony from when he was a candidate is about as elaborately fake as I have ever seen in any of my contemporaries. Even Her Barfiness, Nancy Pelosi, comes closer.
That kind of belies the predestination vs. free will argument.
I’m more than willing to pursue that in a friendly discourse but I have to work tomorrow.
Take care and God Bless.
Call me a Cal-minian, perhaps. Usually that argument forgets that God has more vectors of causation available to Him than we customarily see in this four dimensional space-time continuum. At the same time, the fact that our wills are not totally free now is an obvious observation (ask anyone trying to kick a bad habit).
She should just go back to Lebanon since she is occupying Native American land. And leave all the wealth she has stolen here.
Ummm. Actually the Sumerians established the written word with Cunieform-B about 4,000 B.C.
Thet’re NOT leaving Helen,...but they will be voting 100% for death and destruction at the hands of a mentally-dysfunctional Obama. Don’t matter what you say to them, Jews are Commie lovers and proud of it!
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

We don’t want her.
OK, maybe she can live in Ashdod.
You’re an idiot.
Not bad for a Haaretz writer. She’s still got a long way to go, though. If she just from that rag and writes for Yisrael Hayom, we’ll know she’s finally been cured of Haaretz-itis. In the interim, don’t trust her. She’s still one of them.
And the Franks need to get the hell out of France and move back to Eastern Europe!
And the Normans need to get the hell out of France and move back to Norway!
And the Japanese need to get the hell out of Japan and go back to mainland Asia!
And us Americans need to get the hell out of America and go back to Europe!
LOL! So....as ridiculous as the above sounds, why should different rules apply to the Jewish people? I know why.
Unfortunately there is something very true in this. Not at 100%, mind, but in enough that is certainly concerning.
OK, maybe she can live in Ashdod.
No, give her to the Arabs. Send her to Schem.
...in our discovery of the written word, monotheism, modern physics, psychology, vaccinations, and the film industry...
Modern Christianity cannot simply divorce itself from it’s own past, no matter how much one wishes it so.
Give it a rest, ya Jew hater.
American Jews may vote Democrap... but where do you get off condemning all the world’s Jewry for that?
By that token, I saw a skinhead pray to Jesus, so all Christians are Nazi lovers.
Dumb@$$ post of the day.
That is damn lame; no generation of the church hagiographizes the sins of past generations.
Um... that’s kinda what it looked like you implying in the post I replied to.
“Here’s the thing. I’ve been thinking about poor Helen Thomas, who I believe was probably just saying what everyone thinks and has therefore been made a scapegoat.

Great opening paragraph!
Just the right mixture of history and sarcasm that she supports throughout her article.
STE=Q
The Arabs, of whom Helen Thomas is a descendent, should get the H*** back to the Arabian Peninsula from which they emerged, warring into other neople’s territories, about 1400 years ago.
They took over Berber lands in North Africa, Phoenecian lands in Lebanon, Assyrian lands in Syria, Chaldean lands in Iraq.
The indigenous people in these lands are still there, but in smaller numbers. In many cases, they can still be identified by adherence to Christianity which was their religion (by choice) before the required submission to Allah.
Helen needs to deport herself back to Saudi Arabia, where her status as a Dean of Reporters will be duly noted.
Are you SURE you want to walk down that kind of you-can’t-divorce-yourself-from-your-institutional-past road... let’s not even mention the call for the crucifixion of Christ, how about the stoning of Stephen? (Both victims called for the forgiveness of their enemies, if you didn’t notice. Any Christian failing to heed those calls is a disobedient Christian.)
You can sit in your miserable little corner and play blame games all you want, but don’t complain when you miss what Jesus Christ is all about.
Jay Leno did a hilarious monologue the other night. He said he went to see the play, ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’, and in the middle of the play Helen Thomas jumped up on the stage and yelled to the Germans, “She’s in the attic! She’s in the attic!”
LOL!
