So much of the “schock” of the left about Helen Thomas’s anti-semitic remarks is feigned. After all she only stated what the leftist media and pundits have been speaking for years.

“Longtime White House correspondent Helen Thomas is coming under fire after a video circulated widely on Friday of her saying that Jews should “get the hell out of Palestine” and go back to Poland and Germany.

The Hearst newspaper columnist made the comment during an interview with RabbiLive.com’s Rabbi David Nesenoff at last week’s Jewish Heritage Celebration at the White House.

“Remember these people are occupied and it’s their land,” Thomas says in the video. “It’s not German and it’s not Polish.”

Asked what Jews in Israel should do, Thomas says “go home.” Asked where that home is, she replies: “Poland. Germany. And America and everywhere else.”

Thomas was only saying what we’ve heard from the media for years. The MSM has famously taken the side of Palestine during the history of the conflict, even on many times denying Israel’s right to their own territory.

So why the shock?
