Jews Backed 'Innocence Of Muslims' Conspiracy Theory Will Not Die, Say Jewish Groups

67. Yeah, I do, and thanks for making me aware of it.

I think context and timing is important. By the point of this playboy interview, Thomas' name had been utterly ruined over what amounts to nothing; her statement was basically, Israel has no rights to the occupied territories. And because of this statement, she's suddenly a ravening antisemite nazi arab whore, who gets fired and everything she's ever said thrown out with her, fifty years of awards rescinded, all because she said something that, weirdly, the "pro-israel" factions of America pretend to agree with.

This was the result of an O'keefe-style "gotcha interview," done by right-wing propagandist (I'm sorry, 'journalist') David Nesnoff. In this video, I'm sure you've seen, he initially asks about Israel, and then switches to talking about Jews, while Thomas continues discussing about Israel. Nessnoff then launched a campaign to basically fuck Thomas over, providing a minute of the two-minute interview to her employer (Hearst Newspapers) and talking with them about how they needed to fire her over this. Meanwhile the edited footage is being used to promote his son's new "journalism" website. later the two minutes is released in full, but by then... Helen Thomas is that ravening antisemitic nazi arab whore that you guys enjoy portraying her as now.

In that context? She got royally fucked by a "Pro-Israel" right-winger and his allies who had set out to fuck her over, and a complicit media who was more interested in demonizing an Arab journalist who said something that doesn't fit the wax-faced Fox news Consensus than in actually handling the story.

So, my opinion? Had this statement of hers come before all that, it'd be utterly contemptible. Since it came after, it's still wrong, but it's the angry words of someone who got fucked over lashing out.
