That said I would not characterize Helen Thomas's speech as anti-Semitic. She is simply standing up for her side of the conflict and making some solid points of complaint. Of course the American Jewish Community supports the state of Israel. So does the American Christian community by and large. And no doubt Arab Americans are sensitive to the aspersions and suspicions directed at them in the aftermath of 9/11, and sympathetic to grievances and humiliations suffered by the Palestinian people in the aftermath of WWII. You would be too if you were in their shoes. Anybody would. Nobody's right and everybody's wrong here and vice versa, not that there is anything any of us can do about it. Europe could however at least acknowledge it was wrong to persecute the Jews and then give someone else's land away to solve her "Jewish Problem." A little compensation might help, or, if not, then maybe a lot would.
