Helen Thomas, Turkey, and the Liberation of Israel
The world cares deeply about refugees, disputed territory, and divided cities — when Israel is involved. Otherwise, otherwise.
Anti-Semitism as displayed by both Thomas and Turkey’s leaders is not predicated on criticizing Israel, much less disagreeing with its foreign policy. Instead, it hinges upon focusing singularly on Israeli behavior, and applying a standard to it that is never extended to any other nation.

Хелен Томас, Турция и освобождение Израиля
Мир испытывает глубокую озабоченность по поводу беженцев, спорных территорий и разделённых городов – в тех случаях, когда к этому имеет отношение Израиль. В других случаях дела обстоят иначе.
Антисемитизм, продемонстрированный как Томас, так и турецкими лидерами, не основан на критическом отношении к Израилю, и уж тем более на несогласии с его внешней политикой. Он сосредоточен только на поведении Израиля и на применении к нему стандартов, которые не применяются ни к какой другой стране.
Unless one is willing to discard the concept of photons, Planck’s law, and the interaction between photons and atoms—and thus the entire body of quantum physics—it is simply not possible for the photons associated with either a power line or a cell phone to cause cancer. Mobile phones have caused major problems, especially auto accidents from distracted driving, but one thing that need not be feared is the possibility of the “radio waves” causing cancer. The presence of power lines can spoil the view, can lower market value, or even psychologically irritate one, but there is simply no reason to worry about cancers of any variety from their presence.
