1. what will happen?
observer   (06.06.10)
she will become, like Carter, a veteran of the campaign.

3. i used to like that hag

4. Well..AT LEAST SHE DIDN'T SAY JEWS SHOULD GO BACK
(06.06.10)
TO AUSCHWITZ. She is older now, and unfortunately people sometimes say what they have believed from younger days.
5. Helen Thomas
N. Edwards ,   Miami, USA   (06.06.10)
Why should H. Thomas' inflamatory statements be dismissed by ADL? Her apologies don't mean anything. Her anti-Israel record culminating with these outrageous calls to having the Jews return to Poland & Germany requires strong action - a plea for her being fired. Not only that her comments are irresponsible, but they are totally unprofessional. She should be isolated and despised by all her journalist colleagues, who respect their profession.
6. who are the real israelies?
sameer amro ,   jerusalem   (06.06.10)
You are right, the palestinians who are living in Palestine since 5000 years, they are the sons of kanaan, then followers of Musas, Jesus anf finally mohammad, these are the real Israelies. not imported from all the world,
7. Helen Thomas is an anti-Jewish racist and should be viewed
Helen J. Cohen ,   West Palm Beach, FL   (06.06.10)
and dealt with in such a way, including by the White House. Yet, since such an act is not part of the Charm Offensive of Mr. Obama toward the Jewish community, will he rise and fight anti-Jewish racism by not permitting this racist access into the White House?
8. No limit in the Obama admin.
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (06.06.10)
This is the proof that Obama has no intention to Stop the Antisemitic and Anti Israel Loby. Now you all know where Obama stand.
9. Yeah lets dismiss her and bring back pro israel
Mark ,   usa   (06.06.10)
reporter in white house ,lets srangle the decent, and make everything in this World Pro Israel , rally around Israel and lerts kill anyone who do not aprove our killing fields, ls this what Jews wants? ia m a Turkish-Jew me and my friends do not approve neither the AIPAC, so should we dcalre them an enemy too?
10. I sent an email to Hearst asking she be fired. You can too.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (06.06.10)
11. Helen Thomas should be fired
Cheryl ,   Whittier, CA USA   (06.06.10)
Ms. Thomas' comments were ugly and mean spirited, but I think they go beyond that. They are flat out EVIL and we, as civilized human beings should shun her. Hearst must fire her, and she should be banned from the White House forever.
12. If different?
Rachmiel ,   Mech burgUSA   (06.06.10)
And if this ignorant piece of trash would have said that all African Americans should go back to Africa? How many voices would be yelling now, but where'e the outrage?
13. The heart of anti-Zionism: denying our existence
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (06.06.10)
Jews are a people. We have lived in diaspora for many years. Our roots are in the Middle East. Anti-ZIonists seek to deny all of this and write us out of history. You were never Middle Eastern, they say: Poland, Germany -- you Jews were never an ethnic minority in these places, but merely sprang from nowhere, simultaneously, in various places. Anti-Zionists could not care less aboutr Israel's policies. Rather, their core message is that of Helen Thomas: the Jewish people is to be written out of history, as though we were a myth. This racism is at the heart of anti-Zionism is why the hatred of those like Helen Thomas is so upsetting.
14. go back to lebanon where you come from
dovdevan ,   ashdod,israel   (06.06.10)
15. get her hell out of the white house!!!
dear obama   (06.06.10)
16. Intersting
JJoe ,   USA   (06.06.10)
and why israelis want to kick Arab-Israeli out to Jordan?!!! They attacked the lady in the Kennesset and told her to get the @$@#!$ of of Israel. Intersting hmmmm. I think there is a name for this, it's called double-standrads!
17. Helen Thomas
zvi ,   LA USA   (06.06.10)
Her comments are based on bias and complete disrespect for the Jewish People and its history. Her statement is reminiscent of old fashioned European anti-semitism such as telling the Jews to get out of Europe. No apology by her can atone for this. She should not have the honor of being correspondent in the White House.
18. a real insult to the americans jews
dovdevan ,   ashdod,israel   (06.06.10)
well jews should go back to poland or germany where they were slaughtered by those nazis ! i think that having a mentally hill women in the white house is an insult to the memory of those who fled europe to come to israel but also for the american jews because if they are sincerely feeling close to israel they should be outrage with that kind of statement ! what about the reaction of obama ,emmanuel ,axelrod ?
19. The lady seems to be as ugly on the inside as she is on the
(06.07.10)
The lady seems to be as ugly on the inside as she is on the outside.
20. Photo at Wikepedia Of Obama hugging Helen
DAVID AARONS ,   JERUSALEM   (06.07.10)
on HELEN THOMAS'S WIKEPEDIA WEBSITE IS A PHOTO OF OBAMA SITTING AND HUGGING OLE HELEN ALL SMILES
21. Back to Africa?
Jay ,   Brooklyn, USA   (06.07.10)
One has to wonder if Helen Thomas also feels that American blacks should go back to Africa?
22. Thomas
GABRIEL ,   new York USA   (06.07.10)
Boycott The Hearst Corporation.
23. Opinion
Joe Klein ,   USA   (06.07.10)
I believe that if you give any israeli a choice between let us say America or the so called the promised land, he or she would chose America. Let us face it, the so called promised land was allowed by the European to get ride of the jews and to ship them somewhere where they don't have to deal with them. BTW, can someone answer me why the states has more jews than Isreal? food for thoughts.
24. Helen Thomas
Gerald Langlois ,   Haawkesbury, Ont Can   (06.07.10)
Helen Thomas. Helen Thomas. Now where have I heard that name before? Oh yes! In the front row of Obama's press conferences. You know, the one who always gets favoured treatment from Barak Hussain Obama in the form of allowing her to be among the first to put a question to him . That says a lot about the president and the White House mindset these days.
25. I suspect Hearst keeps her around because ...
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (06.07.10)
... the White House press corps has its own culture and traditions. One of them is that the senior reporter gets to ask the first question before the rest try to get their own in. Which means the old witch always gets a turn. Others have lost their jobs for much less - a sportscaster who referred to some female players as "nappie-headed hos". Larry Summers took heat from some feminists when the then head of Harvard U made a comment about women in science they didn't like. Thomas should have been let go years ago because she's a hack reporter. Now she should be fired because she's an ignorant bigot.
26. It was a call for ethnic cleansing
David ,   Rhode island   (06.07.10)
She should be fired. No one would keep their job if they said all the blacks should go back to Africa.
27. # 6
Miriam ,   Miami, USa   (06.07.10)
If you are right sameer, then all those who call themselves Palestinians need to move, because they were important into Israel.
28. #23
Airborne ,   Jerusalem   (06.07.10)
Your opinion is wrong. There are more Jews in Israel then in the US.
29. to #23 wow Israeli who doesn't know
ghostq   (06.07.10)
Amerikan history, on colombus boat there were religious jews, and they even celebrated Hanuka, it was suppose to be sucide missin to get rid of them but when it come to jews than they keep reinventing the meaning of survivors, and from what I heard jews always return home. they can't live more than 5 years outside of Israel.
30. to #6 Muhamad isn't jewish
ghostq   (06.07.10)
jews follow only jewish leaders, Israelites have no intrest to follow after paganism. in fact the Israelis of today r mix of Knaanite and Israelis, the old testament showed that it was common especially after Naomi story, arabs conquered from the east, their origin from the arabia peninsula, the names of places in Israel is in ancient hebrew, like Beith Lechem, Nazrath, Haifa, Beer sheva, jericho(jerach in ancient hebrew means month they used to call villages in one point of history after the agricultur of the village) Gezer, Tel Megido, Beit Shan.
