Two sources in the PBS series "Mohammad's Life" have said some pretty nasty things about Jews and promote the notion of a civilizational war between Islam and non-Muslims.
Eleanor Clift is entitled to respect Helen Thomas despite her explicitly anti-Jewish statements. But Clift's readers are entitled to a forthright telling of the controversy. It is not about "anti-settler" remarks. It is not even about anti-Israel comments. It is about anti-Semitic remarks.

Philip Weiss of the anti-Israel blog Mondoweiss and MJ Rosenberg of Media Matters and the Huffington Post, tried to excuse slandering supporters of Israel as "Israel Firsters" by claiming Abram Sachar, founding President of Brandeis, used the term in 1960. But Sachar was referring to Israelis who thought that only in Israel could a full Jewish life be lived. His refererence was not even remotely concerned with dual loyalties.
