WAA, SO POWERFUL
FACTUALLY she wasn't wrong but such was the power of the lobby that she had to apologise, just like some before her.That was had happened to iconic White House correspondent Helen Thomas, all 89 years of her and still doing the circuit. After almost 60 years there, Thomas has covered the administrations of 10 American presidents and is given a seat in the centre of the front row in the press room.Her problem began when remarks she made to a rabbi last week on the Palestinian issue vis-a-vis the Jews was posted online. When asked about it Thomas said "they (the Jews, in this case the Israelis) should get the hell out of there" and "go back to Germany, Poland, America, anywhere...."This again illustrates that although they are separate entities, only a thin line separates the hardline Jews and the Israel state. An so powerful is the Jewish lobby in the west, especially in America, that anyone who says something seemingly unkind about Israel is bound to ultimately left with no choice but to apologise to the Jewish community, not Israel.Same with those who questioned the holocaust and there have been quite a few.The irony is that you can say something nasty about the mainly Muslim Middle-east and many things Islam, tear Iran, Iraq, al-Qaeda and the Talban to pieces and the western world doesn't think this is offensive but just one word against the Jews or Israel and they are up in arms.Israel kills the innocent, imposes a blockade, ignores United Nations' resolutions, keeps nuclear weapons and god knows what else and that is A-ok but Iran has a nuclear programme and a fourth round of sanctions looks to be underway.What a screwed-up world -- led by America and a first black president for them who promised so much to the Muslim world last year but hasn't delivered any. He's a great speaker isn't he, this Barack Obama? And what did I write some months ago about orators and great talkers? For those who missed it basically, I said they are simply a bunch of talkers but not doers.
