“Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine.”… “Remember. These people are occupied . . . and it’s their land - not Germany and its not Poland.” The interviewer says “So where should they go? What should they do?” She replies “Go home.” He asks, “Where’s their home?” She replies “Poland. Germany.”
He asks “So the Jews - you’re saying Jews go back to Poland and Germany?” She replies by nodding her head and continuing “And America and everywhere else.”
Since orion requires a further explanation, note that Ms. Thomas refers to “Palestine,” the name for the British Mandate territories, and she does not mention the current Palestinian Territories or the Occupied Territories. To those who are not deaf, the clear implication is that Israelis should simply disappear, “to their home.”
But the next phrase makes it clear that she means “Jews,” who should return to “their home,” which includes the Germany and Poland, but not Israel by name.
Had she said, “Israelis should remove themselves from the Occupied Territories,” she would be just one more reporter with a bias. But by contemning the interviewer, and by elaborating that Jews should go to Germany and Poland–with their particular pointed history–she is clear: they can have no home in Palestine, or even Israel.
And that is how the mask falls away, and the political charade is revealed as simple bigotry…or Judenhass, to orion.[/quote]
There are people on this board who go apeshit because hispanics come to their country, against their wishes refuse to learn the language and so further and so on.
Now inagine they brought their own religion, language and mores, replaced your population, treated the indigenous people like second class citizens and continued all of this until this day.
It is funny that the very same people who defend this in the case of Israel go absolutely nuts when they even suspect that they might one day be treated like Israel treats Palestinians day in and day out.
I wish people were somewhat consistent when it comes to matters like that.
