An informal media interview of doyen Whitehouse Correspondent Helen Thomas, and shot by a part-time film-maker and journalist Rabbi David Nesenoff, has led to Thomas’ resignation, and widespread condemnation of the tough scribe. Helen Thomas suggested that ‘Jews should get the hell out of Palestine’. With the video clip uploaded to Nesenoff’s site ‘rabbilive’ and YouTube, we see how digital and social media can prove hugely perilous to reputations; even that of a seasoned media expert like Thomas.
