Subject: RE: BS: Helen Thomas - We Will Miss Her
Helen is not senile as Amos impnes, but simply depended too much on the priviledge of age to be truthful.
She was not talking about the Isreal of the past. Today's Isreal has lost every single allie in the middle east and Europe. Even when the US simply asked for Isreal to not leave Gaza but only stop building apartments for Jews only, the leadership of Isreal said to America, "Fuck YOU!"
Today Isreal's NetenYAHOO has taken the gamebook from Bush neocons and is playing a deadly game of idiot's revenge for the last two military adventures that they clearly lost. Thier right wing gestapo tactics do not please anyone except the far right.
About two years ago I proposed that no matter how bigoted and militant South Carolinans can be, Isreal would be better suited to have South Carolina partitioned and establish their new country there while preserving the right to visit and vacation in Jerusalem.
I grew up with the familial remnants of the holocaust and have come to learn that many holocausts have occured and differ only in the technology used to murder people. Isreal is a glowing testament to hard work, democracy, hope, and dreams of religious freedom and peace. Peace has not happened and without any doubt never will. If Jewish scholors believed in wisdom more than repeating the past, they would jump at the offer of South Carolina as the best promised land on the planet.
Given the alternative of releasing atomic and hydrogen bombs in the middle east in the next decade, I believe that half of South Carolina is the best alternative to a desert wasteland dead sea and unending killing.
South Carolina is not the only choice. Puerto Rico is another better alternative to Palistine and the holy Roman land of sorrow. Even the Mormons had sense enough to move on until they hit Utah even though the holy incidents and relics that were supposedly delivered to Joseph Smith took place in upstate Palmyra New York. What is it with salty dead lakes and religions anyway?
but I digress.
Helen is a vital and honest voice in America that will be missed.
