Thomas was making a reasonable comment in the sense that the main reason the state of Israel exists is beause of the Holocaust, and its not fair to punish Arabs for the sins of certain Europeans. She was making an unreasonable comment in the sense that it is not fair to blame succeeding generations for the actions of their ancestors. Just like whites in South Africa have a right to self-determination, so do today’s Jews in Palestine have a right to a Jewish ethnostate. What they DON’T HAVE a right to do is to rule over non-Jews.
