Nye Bevan (11,785 posts) Did Helen Thomas ever apologize for her anti-Semitic speech?Last edited Sat Jul 20, 2013, 10:48 PM USA/ET - Edit history (2)If not, why not? During the speech, Thomas said: "Congress, the White House, Hollywood and Wall Street are owned by Zionists. No question, in my opinion." Thomas defended her comments on December 7, telling Scott Spears of Marion, Ohio AM radio station WMRN, "I just think that people should be enlightened as to who is in charge of the opinion in this country."

I think that being against a Zionist mindset is not the same as being anti-semitic.Whether it's true or not, the US certainly spends a great deal on Arming the "Only Democracy in The Middle East." I don't actually think that you can have a religious democracy, but that's another tale. There are a lot of people who hold unpopular viewpoints, and I should know, but I will say that the uproar about her 'anti-semitic' statements give some support to the assertion.

Noam Chomsky is another good example. The ADL characterizes everything that is anti-Jewish state policy as anti-Semitic. That doesn't make it so.

Warpy (70,301 posts) 49. Of course it was true.That's why so many people found it offensive. Again, being anti Zionist is not the same as being an antisemite.
Wow.Ugly, the defrocked warped primitive, hates Jews too?Is there any group of decent and civilized people Ms. Hindenberg doesn't hate?
I can't say that I was the least bit surprised when I saw her in there...In answer to your question, I doubt it - I doubt it very much indeed.

IIRC, the fugly bigot said the usual leftist appology "I'm sorry if are not smart enough to see I am right and you got butt hurt." IOW, "I'm sorrry that i got caught."
So if Zimmerman was racially profiling Martin because he was a young black male believed to be up to no good then the offense taken by DU proves young black males are usually up to no good.Right?
