“You can’t go home again”
In my post about Helen Thomas, I focused on her incredible stupidity in saying that Jews are the interlopers and “Palestinians” the indigenous people. In fact, the opposite is true. Jews have lived in Israel non-stop since about 1800 B.C. The “Palestinians” — a name I put in scare quotes because there really aren’t such people, there are just Arabs — are the recent arrivals. The old ones arrived about 2000 years after the Jews. The new ones arrived within the last Century.
Oh, and as Closet Conservative points out, Helen’s ignorance isn’t just about far history, but also about near history, because there’s no home to go back to.
