Helen Thomas, doyen of the White House Press Corp said that Israeli Jews should "Go Home" to Poland and Germany. Maybe Helen thinks they could get nice places at Sobibor, Treblinka, Auschwitz, or Łódź.
Thomas was born in Winchester, Kentucky, to Lebanese immigrants. I wonder if she has her tickets booked to go home to Tripoli.
Rabbi Nessenoff: Any comments on Israel? We’re asking everbybody today, any comments on Israel?
Helen Thomas: Tell em to get the hell out of Palestine.
Nessenoff: Oh. Any better comments on Israel?
Thomas: Remember, these people are occupied, and it’s their land. Not German, it’s not Poland.
Nessenoff: So where should they go and what should they do?
Thomas: They should go home!
Nessenoff: Where’s their home?
Thomas: Poland. Germany.
Nessenoff: So you’re saying the Jews should go back to Poland and Germany?
Thomas: And America and everywhere else.
Tripoli is in Libya, not Lebanon.
ReplyDeleteNot that I endorse her comments.
I think you meant that you'd like her to go back to Beirut.
Yes there is a Tripoli in Libya, but there is one in Lebanon.

Her family is from Tripoli. I understand the confusion.
I think that it's fair to say that she is an nutty as a fruitcake. It's maybe time to not pay any more attention to her craziness.
