Fitting that Thomas finally says something worthwhile and gets forced to retire because of it.

Look at that. One of the few members of the press who is not an unquestioning lackey of the Israel lobby pushed out by the fake outrage of the Israel lobby.

Are you serious?  I don't think the comments should have forced her out, but what she said was reprehensible and disgusting.

No, it wasn't, but nice job parroting that dimwit Robert Gibbs.

Suggesting that living in Poland or Germany is somehow dangerous or horrible is insulting.

No, it's the suggestion of "you shouldn't live where you were born or where your parents were born, go back to some country where they don't want you anyway and really don't want you and 4,000,000 of your friends back now asking for an extra set of keys."

Kind of like what the Israeli occupiers did as they bulldozed Palestinians off of their own land?

Btw, an ironic side. Jews actually comes from Palestine.

No they don't. That's not ironic at all.

Where did they come from then?
Jews are not one monolithic tribe who all come from one place.

To claim that Ashkenazi Jews who immigrated from Germany, Russia, Poland, etc. have a real ancestral claim to Palestine is utterly absurd.

Well, if you go far enough back, they originated in Palestine.

Not really. The odds of an Ashkenazi Jew tracing his ancestral origins to Palestine aren't much better than those of anyone else. Not to mention you're going back a really long time.
