You know that ugly old bat who has been poorly covering the White House since Teddy Roosevelt was president? Well it works out that not only is she a lousy reporter she is a rabid Jew hater. Apparently her outside ugliness is hiding an even uglier inside.
Israel needs to stop trying to appease the rest of the world. They need to step up the propaganda war by stating how every country which is threatened by violent groups, as Israel is threatened by Hamas, has the right to defend itself through blockades, just as the USA did in the 60s with the Cuban blockade. They need to make sure that they remain firm in their commitments to what they know is the right thing to do. And they need to stop listening to wingbats like Helen Thomas who consistently show that they don’t have a clue what’s going on in the world, haven’t got a clue about what is right and wrong, are totally useless towards helping the situation, and who should have retired centuries ago.
She reminds me of the Sea Hag from Popeye.
Had C-SPAN captured her White House press conference appearance in black & white, people would have confused her with Adolf Hitler riling up the goons at a beer hall. She was hardly the only goon in the room, though. Robert Gibbs was chief among them–an “unbreakable bond” with him is worth loads.
It’s hard to be uglier or more willfully ignorant of history than Arafat or for that matter all the Islamofascist sycophants in the American Leftist Media, but Helen Thomas does it with ease.
The ugly Lebanese hag and Israel haters come out of the woodwork when they see what looks like a weak and severely injured Israel.
They are kicking and beating and abusing the poor fellow laying on his back trying hard to snatch the last breath of life from Israel.
They don’t respect anything but brut force your neighbors.
THAT IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN !
The world no longer needs to see Israel’s humanity ,it needs to see Israel’s bad side.
When Israel’s enemies learned terror and fear Israel had peace.
The menatal disorder of liberalism that infects Israel has turned the Lion into a hunted mouse on the run.
The question I have for the L’Chaim tribe is;
What will it take for the Lion’s of Judah to return and the fearful,running mice to be banned forever from Israeli politics ?
The Road Map era has been tragic for Israel as it has shown the enemy Israel’s lack of red lines and willingness to suicide the nation for a sham peace.
It does seem that the nation as a whole is suffering from the 2 state final solution,land for dead Jews AND NO PEACE.
After what happened with Israel’s retreat from Gaza.
If you don’t derail the Road Map you are your own worst enemy.
I will not drive them out before you in a single year, that the land may not become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.
“I will drive them out before you little by little, until you become fruitful and take possession of the land.
You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.
“They shall not live in your land, because they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
Exodus 23
After suffering from an acute case of lucidity while watching Latma’s “We Con the World,” Ms. Thomas published an apology on her web site today http://www.helenthomas.org
Wow! The Wicked Witch of the West has nothing on her. Definitely time for Israel to stop playing nice. What does concern me is the lack of response by most American Jews. What will it take to make us realize that we all must rally behind Israel. She is our only hope.
G-d created us in his image and Satan created her in his.
By the way, I’ve tried searching for Popeye cartoons on the internet featuring the Sea Hag and can’t find none. What did they do? Ban her?
My Dear Lady,
Since the best way to lead is by example, you should tell that ugly old bat that Israelis will consider leaving Israel for their ancestral homes in Europe when Americans actually do likewise…
I love “We Con The World”…! You’ve just gained a fan from Australia!!!
God bless…
On the Helen Thomas Web site today:
“I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians. They do not reflect my heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon.”
Undiluted taqiyya to save her social position if not her career.
By the way, I’ve tried searching for Popeye cartoons on the internet featuring the Sea Hag and can’t find none. What did they do? Ban her?
What a revolting snout of EVIL! Remember Grimma-the Worm Tongue from Tolkien’s “Lord Of The Rings”?
The same atavistic, irrational, self-destructive fury on the face of a TRAITOR when the treasonous plot is revealed and crumbles.
Tragically, we have reached the stage when THE WORD is no loger sufficient to reverse the tide and save our civilisation.
Today we still have PINOCHET option though.
Tomorow we shall have only FRANCO option left…
Caroline – You are our modern day Deborah (for other readers, from the Book of Judges in the Tenach). Yea for you!
I knew it was going to hurt my eyes, but I watched it anyway. The video makes its true point; she is totally ignorant of history. Unfortunately, so are millions of other people.
But the God of Israel, the Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. He has promised to uphold Israel’s right hand. The day is coming when Israel will seek those who quarrel with her, but will not find them, because those who war with her will be as nothing, and non-existent. Isaiah 20:28; Is. 41:12-13.
ISRAEL IS THE LAND OF ALL JEWS BECAUSE JEWS ARE THE REFUGEES OF THE WORLD. NOT ONLY THEY CAME FROM POLAND AND GERMANY BUT FROM EGYPT, IRAK, TUNISIA, MARROCO, ALGERIA, LYBIA, SIRIA, LEBANON,ETHIOPIA, ETC, WHERE THEY WERE EXPELLED WITH NO RIGHT TO, AT LEAST, SELL THEIR PROPERTIES SO THEY COULD HAKE SOME MONEY FOR THE TRIP.
PALESTIANS IS A NAME THAT WAS GIVEN TO THIS LAND,JUDEA, AT THAT IME, BY THE ROMANS. AT THAT TIME NO ARABS OR MUSLIMS EXITED! SO, JEWS WERE THE FIRST PALESTINIANS!
HALPH OF THE “PALESTINIANS” THAT LIVES IN PALESTINE ARE JORDAN,SYRIA AND EGYPT REFUGEES.
ISRAEL WAS, IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE A JEWISH LAND.
THIS LAND WITHOUT JEWS WAS ALWAYS A NO MAN´S LAND. ONLY JEWS CAND GROW FLOWERS IN THE DESERT
Again Marcel great comment!
I keep watching for Ps.83/Is.17 it can’t be too far off! They are all lined up with their snares. “If God be for you who can be against you?” Time to look to God and realize the world will always hate them. Ishmael/the wild ass ag. Isaac/the promise. “The everlasting Hatred” as Hal Lindsey wrote.
“Its their land” …yeah? Says WHO?
My Goodness…what a disgusting person. That old lady is toxic. Unbelievably full of hate and venom…and nonsense, as if Israel is about dimantle itself…just sheer arrant nonsense.
Actually, I am a bit surprised how many commentators here combine criticism of what Helen Thomas said with comments on her physical appearance. This is unneccessary, because, what she said would have been no better, had she been young and good looking and male.
Having said that I must say, thank you, Caroline, for posting this. I passed in on in several forums.
And yes, I agree with Dis: in consequence, there would have to be a mass emigration from USA to Europe, Africa, Asia etc., and from Europe and Africa and Asia likewise.
Is Helen Thomas sponsored by some travel agency?
best wishes!
Rita
she apologized because she got caught.
What she said is still in her heart.
Hopefully a desperate and naive Israel looking for any cheap friends will no longer be deceived by America Babylon and the death smile of Obama’s envoy of death and destruction (ROAD MAP) George Lebanese Mitchell ?
Israel has loyally obeyed the demands of the US since before the Oslo marriage in Washington in 1993 and look what that loyalty has been repaid with. Your loyalty to a cheap whore has not been well served.
You do see that ? and that an election in November will change nothing ???
A WHORE IS A WHORE,JUST A DIFFERENT DRESS COME NOVEMBER.
“Israel and the United States are seeing the threat environment in the region — and the ways to deal with the threat environment — in increasingly different ways. And for the United States that means Israel is a problem, as an ally heading in a very different direction.” Daniel C. Kurtzer, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel who advised Obama’s campaign and now teaches at Princeton University.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37523915/ns/world_news-washington_post/
Israel’s enemies look back at the lat two decades and see an Israel which has always capitulated under minimal pressure.
Whenver the hotline from Washington to Jeruslaem rang,the Pupppy Ministers of Israel would fold immdeiately.
They are going to try and break Israel which they can see by the recent past is an easy endeavor.
You have helped them by your easy capitulation in the past ‘for the peace’ that you are now eating the fruits of.
Pray hard Israel because Netanyahu has a bent spine going way back.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Helen Thomas is living proof that as we age, we get the face we deserve. I didn’t think it possible, but she’s even uglier on the inside than on the outside.
Fortunately, good people all over are condemning her — I first read about her heinous (but not surprising) remarks on a totally unrelated blog.
And many thanks for that “We Con The World” video! I’m doing my part to spread it around to as many people as possible!
@ Naomi–you are SO RIGHT. Where are the AMERICAN JEWS??? I invite you to check out http://www.zstreet.org and join with US!!!
For a so called journalist this babbling witch knows very little about anything.
Excuse me witch, when you say the Jews should go back to Germany where they came from. I find that strange since you look old enough to have witnessed G-d leading the Jews out of Egypt to the Holy Land, the land provided for them.
Your just angry they didn’t invite you to join them on the journey.
Palestine, good grief I believe that’s a tavern in South Jersey.
By way lady the so called Palestinians are nothing more than a mix bag of Arabs, mostly Jordanians and others group the Arab world don’t want.
They are the illegal occupiers of Israel.
She might be ugly, she’s old- that`s of no concern.
She is ,indeed,a jew-hater who’s smelled the fresh air of rising anti-judaism in the US.
I pray for Israel and her brave army!
Man alive, I hate to be superficial, but that is one ugly person.
I don’t know how she could fail to see how offensive her advice was, which makes her subsequent apology all the less credible.
Helen Thomas, for whom the burka was definitely tailor made….
Here are a few more good pieces on this topic. Many are calling for Thomas to be fired. But, don’t hold your breath.

G-d bless you, Caroline Glick.
Helen Thomas can always stand in for Ronit on LATMA. I didn’t know she was Lebanese – that explains her hatred of Israel.
Just checked the Caroline Glick wikipedia page and they already have a paragraph about “Allegations of racism” because of the “We Con the World” parody. Wow the Islamist/Leftist Media Complex sure works fast!! Caroline, what you talked about “the info war” with Frank Gaffney certainly seems to apply, don’t you think?
I think the video is awesome, it should win a grammy or a bammy or whatever they give out for great vids. Keep up the great work.
Here’s what Sarah Palin had to say to The Hag:
“Helen, Helen, Helen……unimaginable misunderstanding of Jewish history……& unconscionable indecency. Press corps colleagues calling u on this?” SarahPalinUSA
Here’s what I have to say: No matter what Israel does, the Left will twist it. Dear Israel, you must concern yourself with survival, to Hell with appeasing the Arab loving Left, they are your enemies!! Whether they be internal Leftists or external. The only difference being the internal ones are traitors. Loose the Lions and apologize to NO ONE for saving your children ! Long Live Israel !!!
She could be a stand-in for one of the gargoyles representing evil at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
Her agent can be contacted here:
[email protected]
I have politely asked that she be retired.
HELEN THOMAS IS A HEROINE OF THE NEO-NAZI MOVEMENT THAT IS QUITE ACTIVE IN GERMANY. WITH ANY LUCK, SHE WILL BE ABLE TO ORGANIZE A VITAL MOVEMENT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES AND BECOME THE PRIME MOVER AND SPOKEWOMAN FOR THE MOVEMENT.
Ninety year old people may mix up a few things. This lady is still registered at the white house? Hope she is aware the ’48 war is over and Israel is existing for 62.
What a shocker…as we say here in Australia. I agree with ,’ She apologised because she got caught’! What she spewed out is in her dark, ill-informed heart. People are sheep…they think it’s cool to dis Israel…THIS MUST CHANGE…but I can’t say I’m hopeful even tho’ I’ll work towards it whilst I breathe air. This is a media perspective issue…enough lies; Peace in the middle east; what garbage , not if the islamic jihad arabs can help it…Man up Israel. I hope everyone reads http://www.rabbilive.com/RabbiLIVE/Articles.html…and spreads THIS WORD. There are MANY reasons I personally believe Israel belongs to the Jewish people lock , stock & barrel, and I’m grateful to Rabbi David for giving me a few more in a nice succinct ‘pass-on-able’ fashion.
She’s right ! Everybody has to go back Home and she must lead the way ! Helen Thomas ! Tyr (Lebanon)is waiting for the Prodigy Infant to go back …
Yalla , Rukhi fil Bayt …..
Despite everything… I wanted you to hear this. Israel has been persecuted for many generations. This is no different. Listen to this for hope. May you be blessed.

I’m an Aussie and not a Jew. But when I heard this old bag spew her hatred, it exposed her deep down hatred towards the Jewish people.
Scary thing is that the world is full of this type of mindset.
She does not look like Native American, what is she doing in USA? She should go back to Europe.
“Since the best way to lead is by example, you should tell that ugly old bat that Israelis will consider leaving Israel for their ancestral homes in Europe when Americans actually do likewise…”
The only problem with that analogy is, the ancestral home of the Israelis is ISRAEL, something which the Europeans did everything to make sure the Jews remembered between 1848 and 1948. To say that the Jews shouldn’t be in Israel is to say that the Jews should not exist at all.
Not as ugly, but just as acerbic… Peter Beinart… and perhaps more dangerous since his views might not be discounted by the misinformed, as those from a senile old hag.
THE jews have lived in the area for 3500 years they have lived in most arab countries before the muslims did,the palistinian brigade in the first world war was jewish the pali brigade in the 2nd world war was jewish,the pali as arab was invented after the 1967 war by nasser the russian kgb and yasser.the current people that called themselves arab pali came around 1800 to work on the plantations.the mongols and crusaders tried to get rid of all muslim arabs in the crusader mongol wars,the majority of the jews in israel come from arab countries ,more jews were kicked out of arab countries then those arabs that fled israel.
There is something deeply (and disturbingly) emblematic about this nasty little troll (Thomas).
Like Erdogan and Ahmadinejad, they are a grotesquely comical presence which, increasingly, does not seek to hide itself.
The world (and our fair-weather allies) have acclimated themselves to their presence.
In doing so, they given them leave to shed their pretenses without consequence.
Helen Thomas went on a “damage control” mission. However, the truth is what it is and just like the drunk who spits the truth, so did Helen. She is yet another small Anti-Semite hiding behind a liberal cloak.
I took the liberty of providing her apology with my comments in prentices:
“I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians (You regret making the comments since they uncovered your true views). They do not reflect my heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance (Which according to you will happen when the Jews respect the Palestinian ownership of the land and go to such fine places as Poland’s Auschwitz or Germany’s Dachau concentration camps to help with the “Final Solution”) . May that day come soon (Don’t think so, not while we breathe).”
Yes she is an old Jews hater that just came out of the closet; that’s all.
Dear Caroline
Scaaaaaaaarrrrryyyyyy. What a horrible woman. Is it really possible that they let this thing in to the white house? This interview uncovers a stupidity that one would not believe excisted.
She speaks a gospel of Hate and she obviously has not read nothing but Donald Duck and gossip magazines. You all just have to realise that she is probebly obsessed by something ugly.
God bless you all.

A confusing statement I heard recently…”I’m not an Isreali. I’m a Jew” American, secular Jews seem not to care about Isreal. Is Jew a religion,race,ethnicity or something else? I’m a lapsed Roman Catholic, Italian. Just because the Vatican is in Italy I don’t feel I need to support Italy. If Italy was under attack by Muslims, however, I would support them.
“Helen Thomas” and “We Con The World” at the same time !!!!
Life is good!
Please, please see this, Caroline Glick. The pictures literally tells it all. There’s an original photo and one that Reuters cut. You don’t need this post in English, I tell you. Reuters cut of the evidence – the knife the terrorist is holding on board the ship:
http://www.uriasposten.net/?p=15314
The blue dates in the post will take you to the sources – Hurriyet and Reuters.
From an Israel friendly conservative blogger. Google Translate might not give you that impression because the text in the post is irony or satire…
I live in the U.S. and I’ve decided I am going to try to purchase as much as I can from Israel. While doing some research into this, I came across several sites where you can send gifts of food (burgers, pizza, etc) to IDF soldiers as a thank you. But a lot of these sites look like Mom and Pop operations and I have no way of knowing which ones are reliable and which may not be. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don’t know how to vet this? THANKS! (Sorry for being off topic.)
I am a little surprised that the comment I posted a few days ago does not appear here.
Why?
I shared everyones disgust at the opion announced by Helen Thomas, but criticed the remarks that combined her outer appearance and age with her opinion. As I said: it would have made no difference, had she been young, good-looking and male. The words would still have been disgusting.
I know it is the way of Hollywood movies to portrait bad people as bad-looking (yellow teeth, bad hair) or faceless (masked) but that is too blatant and distracting from an issue. There are ugly people who utter wisdom and pretty faces that utter bullshit as well.
Not to worry……Helen is on her broom, flying over to Germany and Poland to see if she can get the camps opened up again.
The “LAND OF JUDEA” belongs to the Jews. There is ONE Jewish country and how many arab countries??????????????
If the arabs are so damn worried about the palestinians, then why don’t they give up some of their arab land for a palestinian homeland.
Oh that’s right……even the arabs don’t want the lousy palestinians.
Looks like she’s been dumped by her employer. Good to hear they stood against her. I thought liberals like her were against “hate speech”…
Caroline.
Beside the fun of this clip there is also a much more scary side of this. I have never heard of this woman before but there is something characteristic about what she says.
I can hear and read it all the time in Norway too. The hate towards the Jewish people are raising here too. What really makes me ashamed is that the Norwegian prime-minister reacted at once ant started condemning IDF’s action together with a lot of our politicians long before anyone knew what’s happend onboard the ship. In one of the newspapers discussion-sites there have been people even talking about expel Norwegian jews from the country. They would also expel etnic norwegians that supported Israel. This hate is raising all over the world now and it makes me sad. I have and allways will give my support to you my friends. Maybe i will get expelled from Norway, hmmmmm….
G-D bless you all and stay strong.
Kay Andre
Nazis wanted to put german jews in their own country in the middle-east so they can have Germany for themselves.
YOU people are sooooo idiot 😉
Eileen Read of LaTimesDaily.com has called for Caroline Glick to be fired from the Jerusalem Post for making what she calls a racist video “We Con the World”. It’s funny, but I have yet to see a post by Ms. Read calling for the firing of Helen Thomas. I think fans of Caroline should let Ms. Read know what they think.
Helen Thomas is really Ilse Koch
“We Con the World”. While meant to be a satire we all know it is the truth. I don’t understand why people can’t see that all the Palestinians have to do is stop lobbing rockets into Israel and things will improve greatly. The world has been conned for many years by Satanist Islam. It must be destroyed piece by piece and never allowed to gain ground.
Death to Islam.
She has just announced that she is retiring. Good. And don’t be taken in by her or anyone else saying that she “apologized.” She didn’t. She simply said she “regretted” what she said. I’m sure she did, for her own selfish reasons.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100607/ap_on_bi_ge/us_thomas_israel_remarks
Well, there are plenty more Helen Thomas’s out there and this one will carry on with fundraising for organizations like Code Pink and others. But, for now, good that she is out of commission “journalistically” and that at least some spoke out against her.
luckily she is, ehm, retiring now (or being retired – whatever) …
actually, come to think of it, most other western journalists do not have the excuse of being 90.
I bring good news: Helen Thomas has resigned.
V FOR VICTORY!
Ding dong the witch is gone. It took Hearst 11 days to send her packing, which forced Obama’s people to denounce her hatred, but only in response to a direct inquiry at a press conference.
Good riddance!
Helen, it’s time for you to go. You are confused. Perhaps it’s the first sign of Alzheimer’s disease.
Just go, please. It’s enough nonsense.
Don’t delay for your own sake…
To think that she had the honored front row seat in the White House briefing room for decades with all that Jew-hatred simmering.
She couldn’t contain it and she destroyed herself and ruined whatever reputation she had built over 50 years.
Fitting end for a hater, I suppose.
To the attic.
GOD BLESS HELEN _ ZIONIST DOOM TO END – ISRA-HELL WILL GO TO HELL SOOn = UR A MURDERER
JEWISH ZIONIST IS A KILLER – SOON U ALL WILL HAVE TO HIDE BEHIND GHARDAD TREES………………..U ALL BE WILL VANISH FROM THIS WORLD AND WORLD WILL LIVE IN PEACE WITH THIE PIGS AND APES…THX GOD….. AGAIN UR A CHILD MURDERER……………
So wait, I’m slightly confused…. Why should my dad go
back to Poland or Germany? He is from Iraq…
Guess why he ran away, by foot.
The world’s double standards are appalling. Has anyone read yesterday that an Egyptian lawyer wishes to introduce a law whereby an Egyptian man married to a Jew will lose his citizenship!! People like that viscious rubbish in the US who fails to understand that EVERYONE has human rights and also requires a severe lesson in history regarding the establishment fo Israel as a modern state. Mohammed was not even a twinkle in his parents’ eyes when jews inhabited the land of Israel.
As for Summer’s comments- you also require a little lesson in history. Jews do not kill children. How many suicide bombers are children? They are “matyrs”. The hatred that people like you and those of Helen Thomas spout in your misguided stupidity is why this world cannopt live in peace. Whilst you hate for no good reason other than your own prejudices, no doubt espoused by your equally ignorant paretns who dragged you up, thetre can never be peace or useful dialogue. Whilst i hold no hatred at all for non Jews , I loathe the extremist fools who are unable to see that Israel has a right to exist in the Middle East- that tiny little place that has created blossoming fields, high productivity, many advances in all fields of science and the arts. What is so disappointing is that these idiot terrorists cannot see that their own people have betrayed them and kept them in poverty to suit their own needs. If the amount of planning you placed into creating terrorism was placed into being creative and developing your vast lands, not only would you be better off but so would the entire world.
Perhaps helen Thomas should spend some time in Gaza and see aht she could do to help rather than talk such senile nonsense
The Problem for the Jews isn’t people who disdian or hate Jews. The real problem is Jews who go along with these wackos! Noam Chomsky and all the other morons , will be the ruin of Israel. Ironically it’s the Ned Flanders evangelically Christians who back Israel even more than Jews themselves!
When will your people learn? You are the chosen people, stop sabbotaging yourselves and act like it for once, for Christ’s sake!（I’m a Catholic).
Get to Israel and fight for it, listen to the ex PLO dude Walid Shoebat, he predicted a few years ago that Turkey would turn, low and behold they’ve turned.
Stick together and fight back, don’t be good Jews like those poor bastards in the Warsaw Ghetto and other places Fight Fight Fight!!

DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD WHICH OLD RAGGEDY CRUSTY OLD BROAD IS DEAD
DING DONG THE WICKED WITCH IS DEAD!
HELEN THOMAS – A TROLL BY ANY OTHER NAME
I hear that she’s been invited to visit (Hamas in) Gaza…?
I wonder, would this woman REALLY want to live in Gaza? One can only imagine how the conversation would go….
Helen to Haniyeh: Do I get the right to free speech in Hamas-ruled Gaza?
Haniyeh: Absolutely! You’re free to say you hate Jews and Israel any time you like.
Helen: Do I get the right to move about wherever I please?
Haniyeh: Of course you do… as long as you are accompanied by a Muslim male who will account for your actions.
Helen: Can I take all my inheritance… and give it to whoever I wish?
Haniyeh: Of course… well, you do know you only get half of what a male gets. And besides, Hamas is so looking forward to your generous donation … as we do for all UNRWA donations…. I mean, damn… Allah knows how little our Muslim brothers give us, the cheap skates!
Helen: Can I criticize Hamas for its intransigence, obstinance, divisiveness, intolerance of different opinions, purging of Fatah, murders of supporters of Fatah, persecution of Fatah supporters’ relatives, exacerbation of the tensions which lead to mistrust and hatred between us and Israel… the continued shelling of Israel and smuggling of arms to persist with the inflammatory attacks on the Jews?
Haniyeh: Careful what you’re saying… Westerner.
Helen: Can I draw attention to the suffering of Gazan women and children…?
Haniyeh: Of course… it makes Israel look bad.
Helen: ….. suffering which could be ended tomorrow if Hamas just changed its Charter and swore a peace treaty with Israel…?
Haniyeh: What?! And put me out of a job? Didn’t you read “How To Keep Yourself As A Dictator Of A Miserable Wretched People 101” by Yasser Arafat?!
Helen: So… let me get this straight… I can gripe against Israel, but not against Hamas who could end this siege and blockade tomorrow. I can gripe against Israel, but only against Israel. I can go where I want, but only if a Muslim man escorts me… I can do my job, as long as it means working harder and for less than a man… I can have my inheritance, as long as I’m content with it being only half of what a man would get – and most of it is subject to Shariah law, anyway…. Shit! What’s left for me, here? There’s no reliable electricity, no public transport, no reliable fuel or petrol, the place is an overcrowded slum of a hole with no hope, no future, no direction, no leadership, no employment except for making IED’s, missles, more babies and hatred, no industry, no chance of anything as long as Hamas refuses to renounce violence and its armed conflict with Israel…. Flaming heck…! I’m old and tired and worn out and sick of everything…! Listen, how do I get around here, anyway, if there’s no transport… can I at least ride a bicycle to get somewhere…?
Haniyeh: Nuh. Banned that yesterday. Too much freedom for a mere woman.
Helen: Well… where can I go, then, where a woman is free to speak her mind; free to come and go as she pleases… free to keep what she owns, free to raise her children as she sees fit… free to criticise the government, free to vote in an election… …. free to teach her children and grand children about peace and love … and maybe even free to sing a national song about Hope…?
Haniyeh: What the hell are you talking about, woman!? Where do you think you are… Israel!?
Whoever coined the term “useful idiot” (for the benefit of the Jew/Israel hating world) must have been thinking about ol’ Helen!
