A prominent Jewish-American organisation has made public a list of top 10 anti-Semitic slurs made in 2010, saying it was showing an unprecedented proliferation of anti-Semitism in the country.

The personalities featured in the list include former UPI Senior White House correspondent Helen Thomas, film director Oliver Stone, former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahatir Mohammad and Deputy Minister of Information for the Palestinian Authority Al-Mutawakil Taha.

The list is topped by Helen Thomas, who said in May that “Jews should get the hell out of Palestine” and “go home to Poland, Germany, America and everywhere else”.

Oliver Stone occupies spot number two, for saying that “Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people” during World War II. In the film-maker’s view, Russian suffering is being ignored because of “the Jewish domination of the media”.

Mahatir Mohammad took third place for saying in January that Jews “had always been a problem in European countries”.
