say that she can smell very well

... damage is done...

Was she born that ugly or did she have plastic surgery to get that ugly? Or is it one of htose rubbery mask things?

This old woman is really summarising her true feelings, after 90 years she still carries a inferiority complex toward the southern neighbours of her ancestors. Really a compliment to the srate of Israel.

Yeah, Helen.. Your retirement is long overdue sweetheart... How about moving to a Muslim neighborhood in Lebanon, so that you can appreciate the Muslim "tolerance" and maybe start a grassroots organization for Gaza!! No one needs to heard your voice at the White House conference room anymore.. It's so irritating

The apology is face- saving, and perhaps an effort at job- saving also. But she said what she said. She will in fact get many new anti- Semitic fans for her remark. Nonetheless her reputation is gone among those who care for fair and objective Journalism.

She is not sorry, she just succumbed to threats and said what she was asked to say. Her mind and heart is with the Palestinians. The entire world is. Chew on it.

ms thomas go the hell out of the us and go back to lebanon where u belong and learn in ur 90 years of life that? israel is the homeland since 3000years for the yews or is ur brand with all ur years demaged???

because "freedom of speech" or why South Park can "show" Muhammad or even say Muhammad, or why the US administration cannot come to terms with "Islamic" terrorism as opposed to "some-very-few-individuals-who-call themselves-Muslim" excuses...

"Mutual respect and tolerance" is exactly what did not characterize her remarks.I guess I'm a doubting Thomas. I don't believe her. It's only a matter of time before she inserts her other foot. Time to step down.

Say 'Thank You'. Little Helen finally came out of the preverbal closet and is now the poster child for the Obama administration. I have one thing to say to all Jews still living in America: Yiddin, leave America NOW! Leave while you can still leave with all your belongs, your families, your cat and your dignity. Remember that 'little' tefillin incident on Chautauqua Airlines - an affiliate of US Airways - back in January? "Misunderstanding" our basic religious practices? Now Little Helen "misunderstanding" the basics of Jewish history? How many 'incidents' and 'comments' will it take before you understand that we only have ONE HOMELAND and it ain't the golden medina. Remember, your parents/grandparents/great-grandparents came to America with NOTHING; no money, no connections and not even (in many cases) basic language skills and now look where Jews are in America. Now it's your turn. Come and make Israel strong. You have so much more to offer than any previous generation. You owe it to your kids/grandkids and great-grand kids.

From one extremely "cosmetically challenged" fellow to another , WILL YOU MARRY ME?

And Helen Thomas is brutally ugly.

Were not so secret lovers. It reflected in some of his reporting.

Even little old ladies who say what the mean and then "apologize". I think what she meant was Auschwitz and Dachau! Israel is an Israeli mother who sometimes forgives but never forgets!

She did not offend the Palestinians. She offended the Jew! Helen Go back to Lebanon!

No Mamud, there is all the freedom to say what you think. But nobodyin the US (except for a few racist fringe elements) has any patience anymore for this kind of racism. No one will put her in jail, but she is totally discredited.

This entire storm is based on the lie that she said Jews do not belong in Israel. Despite the headline, the article eventually abandons that lie halfway through when the inclusion of the clip forces them to admit she was talking specifically about Palestine. "Get the hell out of Palestine." This had nothing to do with Jews in Israel proper. The accusation is a shoddy excuse for propaganda and does your credibility no good at all.

To hell? The lady's first! Though, are you really a lady saying such things?

I am shocked at the ignorance that a veteran journalist show. Don't they teach history in Journalism school? Or did she snooze at those classes

All she is suggesting is for them to go home. To their real homes, in poland, russia etc.. What is wrong with that? Do you hate your homes so much that you want to murder and steal the homes and land of others? Is that what Moses asked you to do? To kill innocents and pretend to be victims? To spend millions on learning the "art of spin"? Just go home and leave the world a better place.

To think that naive leftist looneys voted this nutcases,s boss ,Obama and his merry bunch of looneys into power ,how ludicrous but more and more of those previously blinkered leftists are waking up to reality so roll; on mid term elections and bye bye nutcases like Helen Thomas .

She dare not return home to Lebanon ,not with Islamofascist Nsarallah drooling at the lips .

Maybe shes related to Hanan Ashrawi ,the witch of Palestine as she sures looks like her?

Just another example of Muslim lies and distortions ,not so Levent ,you don,t fool anyone ?

Helen Thomas is only saying what the leftist looneys of the Democratic madhouse would like to say but cannot for fear of losing more Jewish votes in the November midterm elections ,how revealing ?

You left out Barack,s main man Rashid Khalili ,Nerm ,the MUSLIM mouthpiece of the Democratic madhouse .
