In CNN interview, veteran reporter refuses to call comments urging Jews to leave Israel and return to Europe insensitive, says Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is the real insensitivity.

The Jews did not have to leave Germany and Poland following the Holocaust since they were not being persecuted anymore, former White House correspondent Helen Thomas said in an interview on Thursday, adding that the Jews had no right to take other people's land.

Thomas, 90, stepped down from her job as a columnist for Hearst News Service in June of last year after a rabbi and independent filmmaker videotaped her outside the White House calling on Israelis to get "out of Palestine."

I was going for the more obscure request. However, your modification is entirely acceptable given the evil hideousness of this particular individual.

Technically true, they could have just stayed there and waited for the next one. Hundreds of thousands were killed over the centuries in Russian pogroms pogroms.

I used to think that Helen Thomas was just stupid. Now I realize that she’s out-and-out delusional.

Don't forget evil.

Probably easier to leave and start over than to get your furniture back from young Georgie Soros.

Bullseye. A drum roll and a tip of the hat to you, sir.

How much longer until this stupid, ugly, anti-semitic old Arab hag takes her rightful place in Hell?

Even Satan don't want someone that ugly down there.

Not to worry Helen, the overwhelming majority didn't leave, which is why the majority of Israelis were from Arab nations until the 1990s. Think how much worse things would have been if Hitler hadn't killed them, rather expelled them and confiscated their property, as your Arab breatheren largely did. There'd be more Jews in the world for you to cope with.

What about the fact that Egypt was, at one point, largely Christian? And now look! How does the old bat feel about that?

Your family didn’t have to leave Lebanon. How about I don’t tell you what you had to and didn’t have to do, and you stop trying to dictate to me what I should do. By the way, you’re an ugly old bitch.

“The Jews did not have to leave Germany and Poland following the Holocaust since they were not being persecuted anymore, former White House correspondent Helen Thomas said in an interview on Thursday, adding that the Jews had no right to take other people’s land. “

Did I mention you were ignorant? Following the Holocaut, Poland was convulsed with massive pogroms. And also, before the massive wave of Jewish immigration in the 1860s, following the Ottoman imperial Land Reform Act, Israel was sparsely populated, due to the fact that it was a miserable wasteland. The Jews developed it, draining swamps, fertilizing deserts, and then and only then did the Arab population increase, and that was well before the Balfour Declaration of 1917, let alone the Holocaust of 1939-1945. Read Joan Peters, you ignorant, ugly, puss-faced bitch.

Well, the stinking Arab scumbags didn’t need to erupt out of the Arabian Desert wastes which spawned them to create a devastation in the Middle East, Anatolia and North Africa where there were once great civilizations.

The Jews turned a typical Arabian Muslim wasteland into an oasis of sanity, progress, beauty and civilization. All things Thomas and her Muslim Arab kin wouldn’t understand.

I hate that evil witch.

By the time a person reaches her age, what they are INSIDE appears on the OUTSIDE. Nuff said!!!!
