Now that is probably the most interesting thing I have read resulting from the Helen Thomas outing.

WHY did the Romans have it in for the Jews? Was it because they were mono-theists?

This was a great post, because it makes me want to find out more!

"..(or, at the very least, stunningly ignorant of recent European history).."

Helen Thomas was an adult in WWII and knew very well what happened to Jews in Germany or Poland at that time. Her comment was a malignant act of Jew baiting.

The irony is that she comes from Lebanese Christians who basically are being ethnically cleansed from Lebanon by militant Muslims.

She is expressing the liberal worldview.

Note the lack of condemnation from the left side of the aisle — the Party of Tolerance has a long record and from that long record, obviously agrees with Helen.

Helen Thomas, and people like her, are thus soldiers in a (Roman-inspired) war against history.

By the looks of her, she's been a Roman foot-soldier since before Caesar invented his salad.
