"Tell them [Jews] to get the hell out of Palestine. Remember, these people [Palestinians] are occupied, and it's their land, not Germany's, not Poland's. They should go home, to Poland, Germany, to America and everywhere else."
-- Newspaper columnist Helen Thomas
From the New York Times --
To the Editor:
"My mother, growing up in Poland in the 1930s, heard demonstrators shouting, 'Jews, go to Palestine.' Now Helen Thomas tells me that Jews should not be in 'Palestine.' They should go back to Germany and Poland.
"So, in other words, 65 years after my mother was liberated from a concentration camp in Germany, Jews are still being told that they don't belong.
"No, Ms. Thomas, I think my 85-year-old mother will stay right where she is, in Netanya, Israel, with her great-grandchildren, who were born in the Jewish state."

Where should the people of Palestine go?
Dr. Morocco
They should go about their business, and stop trying to kill us.
There are a lot of Palestines that want nothing to do with either Hamas or the Israelis. They are people that should be offered a safe haven far away from the middle east. The Israelis do not want them, and they don't want to be where they are, raising a family in Gaza or the West Bank can not be a lot of fun. If there is a mass exodus of Palestines, everybody wins.
