Nine Speakers, the agency that represents Helen Thomas, has dropped her as a client, Politico reported Sunday afternoon. This comes in the wake of remarks made by Thomas that emerged last week in which she said that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine." Thomas, 89, made her shocking remark on May 27 during the Jewish Heritage Celebration at the White House. When asked by Rabbi David Nesenoff of RabbiLive.com if she had “any comments on Israel,” the Hearst Newspapers columnist put her foot in her mouth by stating, “Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine.” Thomas added that Palestinians “are occupied and it’s their land” and that Israelis should “go home” to Poland, Germany, America “and everywhere else.” The notice, obtained by Politico: “It is with a heavy heart that Nine Speakers, Inc. announces its resignation as the agent for Helen Thomas, Dean of the White House Press Corps. Ms. Thomas has had an esteemed career as a journalist, and she has been a trailblazer for women, helping others in her profession, and beyond. However, in light of recent events, Nine Speakers is no longer able to represent Ms. Thomas, nor can we condone her comments on the Middle East. Nine Speakers will continue to enthusiastically represent all of our other current and future clients.”

A Nobel departure. She has moved up in my estimation.
The line is being drawn, for what I'm not sure, but the sides are forming up.

When mainstream Journalists, such as Helen Thomas, begin to speak truthfully about Israel and their ongoing genocidal behavior it is a ray of sunshine. The wall is forming fissures and Israel's back is against it. Soon the wall will tumble. Like a player raising "all-in" on a "busted Flush" being shown Four of a Kind Israel has overplayed their hand. This time they can bluster and caterwaul all they wish - the good will has been used up and fear can no longer overcome the revulsion (except in the U.S. Congress which does what they are told "or else") created by their criminal behavior.
