If Helen Thomas had slammed Muslims or Christians, she'd still have her job

You can say what you want in this country about Muslims or Christians (recall that feces-splattered painting of the Virgin Mary of some years back as one example), but boy, if you say anything about Israel or Jews, you're done for.

Helen Thomas- one would've thought she had committed an act of terrorism given the response to what she said about the Israeli Jews. It even prompted the president of the 'land of the free' to dress her down, a testament to the power of the Israeli lobby.

Furthermore, Israel-supporters all the time suggest that the Palestinians go live in Jordan, which they believe is the true Palestinian state, and that's not the only thing they say. But nobody utters a word about it, certainly not the president of the United States.

Thomas was forced to resign earlier today from Hearst News Service - as, you can bet Hearst would've bowed to the overwhelming pressure to fire her.
