Just to clarify...

Have they filled Helen's seat yet?

Just to clarify: I do not believe all Jews should go back home*, and I hope (and feel confident) Helen Thomas did not either.(**) She seems to recognize that there are two states, Israel and Palestine from her answer to the original question. Which is more than one might be able to conclude of the questioner[***], given the way it was (mis?)understood, and misrepresented. If Helen Thomas (age aside) can be given such a hard time for her opinion and poor decision to engage in a sidewalk interview, my point is that there would be a whole lot more job openings in journalism, especially in the media.

* which home and what is a Jew?(not that I am answering that, but that does go to the modus operandi of a lot of the questioners{so called journalists] with their "what if"s or "it is as if"s. By the Golden Rule, they would not have been in the position to have created this "gotcha moment", be they Wire Staff, Newsroom or Press Secretaries.)

(**) and belief and saying it are two different things which some confound.

[***] 6-10-10:update others worse than Thomas
