Here's a fun game: Anytime you meet someone over 80, ask them "So, what do you think about Israel?" Whatever happens next will not be boring.
Did she just tell Jews to go back to where they came from? Not cool Helen. In 2009 she said "I'm a liberal, I was born a liberal, I'll be one 'til I die, what else should a reporter be when you see so much and when we have such great privilege and access to the truth?" She was born a liberal and she'llbe one until she dies. Sounds about right, child like ignorance and a completely closed mind are two core tenets of liberalism. Conservatives and libertarians have to do pesky things like read, think, and discus ideas. But that's beside the point. Does Helen Thomas hate Jews? Probably not, but would liberal reporters (like her) ever give a conservative or libertarian the benefit of the doubt like that? Fuck no.
