Notice the lack of applause from his own lefty audience when Maher slaps down Maddow.

Always good to hear Maher play the reasonable liberal on the panel, but I still think the deep thought of the segment comes from Maddow:

Who speaks out publicly in a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli way in mainstream American politics?

To answer Maddow’s question:

Rabbi Nessenoff: Any comments on Israel? We’re asking everybody today, any comments on Israel?

Helen Thomas: Tell em to get the hell out of Palestine.

Nessenoff: Oh. Any better comments on Israel?

Thomas: Remember, these people are occupied, and it’s their land. Not German, it’s not Poland.


Nessenoff: So where should they go and what should they do?

Thomas: They should go home!

Nessenoff: Where’s their home?

Thomas: Poland. Germany.

Nessenoff: So you’re saying the Jews should go back to Poland and Germany?

Thomas: And America and everywhere else.

In case you missed it, Ms. Maddow, we covered it here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.
