The Real Helen Thomas Scandal
"Somehow, the debate shifted from Israel behaving badly to Helen Thomas behaving badly."
Well, it's easier, isn't it?
I mean, a 90-year-old woman is not as adept at defending herself as Nettin-yahoo.
She doesn't carry bloody video of stabbed, beaten or shot soldiers or civilians around in her pocket, like the spokespeople for the Israeli government and the blockade-runners do.
In fact, her silly comments aren't as defensible as either side of the blockade (nor as consequential, but who cares about that). She's low hanging fruit: journalists:sic 'em.
