As a general rule, I think that people should remain at work for as
long as they are able and eager to do their jobs.  But he was not
wishing Helen Thomas a happy retirement.  She is already retired.  He
was speaking of her death as if he were eager for it to happen.  A
person who insists on talking that way should not represent himself as
a Jew, lest others think his way of thinking is typical of the way
Jews think.  I find it embarrassing to belong to any subset that
includes someone who thinks it's appropriate to carry on in that
fashion.

Muslims go out and _kill_ their enemies. Italians (mafioso) go out
and _kill_ their enemies. Irish (IRA) go out and _kill_ their
enemies. The list goes on and on. Jews DO _NOT_ go out and _kill_
their enemies. But you would deny them the release they can get from
cursing their enemies. A typical example of PC foolishness.


But you are giving as examples the most disreputable, thuggish,
criminal segments of the nationalities you cite. That does't give
Jews who are confirmed haters any legitimacy.


As for cultures where it is deemed okay to curse people -- feh! Look
at whom you're talking about and the low level of education and
quality of life those people have: Gypsies, Haitians, and numerous
jungle cultures. Are you seriously ready to include Jews in that same
subset?
