Veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas has issued an apology after saying in an interview that Jews should “get the hell out of Palestine.”

Thomas, a longtime White House correspondent who now writes a column for Hearst newspapers, made the comments May 27 after a White House Jewish heritage event.

Asked by Rabbi David Nesenoff of RabbiLive.com if she had “any comments on Israel,” Thomas replied, “Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine.”

Thomas went on to say that the Palestinian people “are occupied and it’s their land” and that Israelis should “go home” -- to Poland, Germany, America “and everywhere else.”

In a written statement issued Friday, Thomas apologized, saying, “I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians.”

She said the comments “do not reflect” her “heart-felt belief t
YA SURE HELEN! :fuelfire:

 YA SURE HELEN! :fuelfire:

This is really weird, as a journalist for 50 years I wonder if she was dipping into the spiked punch bowl.

She has been writing about politics perhaps for 20 years before some of you were born.

Her conduct was reprehensible and if it did not reflect her heart held feelings, what the Hell did it reflect.??

However, in light of recent events, Nine Speakers is no longer able to represent Ms. Thomas, nor can we condone her comments on the Middle East.

Helen, you lie!

Actually I believe that what she initially said was what she believe to be the truth. Her lie is in the retraction. She should go on a flotilla to Palestine and hopefully Israel will sink her ship.

We should allow no liberal to hold a job in any profession. Helen should only be the first. Jews need to remember this the next time they vote -there is no such thing as a "good liberal" - they all enable ReidPelosiObama to exist.

If there ever was a dictionary definition of an "Old Bag", that would have to be Helen Thomas.

Buh Bye Grandpa Munster!!

I occurs to me that in the years this reported has covered the presidents and written on their policy's  she may have ever so slyly slanted her reporting to push her own warped agenda.

This highly respected reporter may have influenced the public and the pollutions to take steps that were in her interest not the country's.

In 1948 she was, what, almost 30 years old.  I would love to read some of her published reports on the NEW home for the world wide Jews.

What ever prompted her to open the gates of Hell for her unbelievable rant in favor of the PLO and their terrorists actions boggles my mind.

Some feel sorry for her and her advanced age,  NOT ME.  I have found that as people age they tend to speak their mind, they feel age gives them permission to blurt out  their deep seated ideas and feelings that they have spent decades hiding from others.

Quick story, I had a patient in a nursing home that was the mother of 8 kids whose husband had been a local well loved Minister.  She became an embarrassment to the family as she wandered about talking to others cussing like a sailor.
 
Where had she learned these words, no one knew.

Anyway Mom says that Helen is of Arab decent and she fears the loss of a persons right to speak their mind regardless who it offends.

Hell-en THamas didn't lose her right to speak, just her ability to get paid for foisting her political opinions on the public at large.

Exactly.

Everyone, Thomas included, has a right to say whatever they feel. Just be aware that there is, at times, repercussions to said freedom.
