years ago. She has always been anti-Israel and has shown it many times. Israel can't be criticized? complete BS. Israel is always criticized and held to a different standard. She's an idiot and should go live in iran with her Bro's.

what do you mean can't survive? in the USA you're free to criticize whomever, whatever, whenever, it's this freedom which is the key to our survival

She could temp as an ugly old hag.

says that Jews do not deserve their own country, but don't call her antisemitic. Thomas promotes the lie that Jews stole land, and she ignores Jewish land ownership and Jewish spiritual attachment to the Land of Israel. She ignores that millions of Jews were born in Israel, when she calls for deportation- but don't call her antisemitic!

She thinks Jews need to go home to their parents' mass graves? LOL maybe she should go home to Lebanon, I hear there hasn't been a civil war there in a LONG time... /snark

...about Israeli demographics. She obviously has no idea that over a million Israelis originate from Morocco alone. And she wants to send them "back" to Poland and Germany? I think her friends are simply too scared to sit down and try to educate her - which leaves her indeed looking like an ignorant racist. Sad.

She has been criticizing Jews for most of her career, much of it front row center at the WH press conferences. But even an overt Antisemite like Thomas knows there are limits to what any self-respecting public will accept. And calling for Jews to go back to Hitler's ovens went over the line.

There was an old woman who looked like a shoe She had so much hatred, she knew not what to do When someone asked "Helen, what about Israel"? She said "those dirty Jews, let them all burn in hell" Now, suddenly, ol' leatherface has no more job. "Another victim of those zionist yobs!" But fret not do you need to, you crusty old hag. Surely jazeera will hire you for their rag. And then you'll be able to speak as you please. As all will subscribe to your verbal disease. For just as you wish it, you weathered old prune, A new audience to your hatred surely will swoon. And all will be right with your world once again, When you're employed to spit venom at Jews with your pen. So tell us, dear helen, who then will you blame, When the only path left for you goes straight down to the flames? ps. say hi to saddam and yasser when you see them, biatch!

Next thing we'll hear is "Some of my best friends are Jews." Her bigotedness was known to the press pool and now we all know about it.

Her looks .

... you are a liar and a shill.

I, for one, thought we'd seen the last of the old crow. These comments only remind us why she had to go. The notion that one can't criticize Israel in the US and survive is sheer nonsense. Remember James "F*** the Jews" Baker? How about Lugar and Hamilton? Jimmy Carter, Walt and Miersheimer have made millions off their criticism of Israel. I believe it was Tony Snow, once White House press secretary who, in response to one of Thomas' diatribes (disguised as a question) thanked her for the Hizbullah perspective.

For a lady who's greatest accomplishment is sitting on her ass in the White House press room longer than anyone else would care to imagine I have no sympathy for her ignoramus remarks "Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine." She has simply bought into the Antisemitic rhetoric the Arabs have unleashed in the global arena the same way the Nazi's did before they began their final solution. If this bigot doesn't understand the simple fact that the Jews are as native to Israel/Palestine as the Native Americans are to USA/America then it's time for Helen Thomas to get the hell out of America and go back to Lebanon. Asinine journalist such as herself are all too abundant in the media today, it is no wonder the media is against Israel when people like her are in the driver seat.

this halloween mask is still the most anti-jewish former media pig ever known.She has never had anything decent to say about Isreal or American policy in the region.For too many years we had to sit by and witness her snide and stilted comments aimed at our executive officers.Good riddance filthy hag.

You're and you'll, Helen ,...

Dear Sir, I find chocking that you relay the defense of an anti-Semite. If she does not realize the pettiness of her say, it doesn't change the fact that they are as petty as any antisemitic outburst. Sincerely yours, Dr. R. Grynpas.

is not anti-Semitic? Calling for Jews to not be in the position to defend themselves (def. of Zionism's every group) is anti-Semitic!

"Hag"

My problem is not with you 'criticizing' Israel. No one is perfect. My problem is that you were taking away our right for the country, who the hell are you to do that? Go back to Lebanon, then speak of us leaving Israel. I was born in Israel and so were my Parents. as for my GrandParents, their families' dust is still in Poland, and we will never go back. Thanks.

She is not a hag, she is a cackler.

You don't seem to be able to handle the truth that she is an Antisemite and wrong. Like her you come up with fantastic tale that have no basis in reality or truth.

Helen Thomas on not beeing antisemitic,if it quack like a duck,walk like a duck,IT'S A DUCK!

Why does she believe Jews should move back to Poland and Germany? Israel is Jews' ancient homeland. Now that they have it back, she wants them to give it up? No way!

Hadrian changed the name of Judea to Palestine after the Philestines to mock the Jewish people. Palestinians should get out of Israel if anything. They can live there if they recognize it as homeland of the Jewish people.

Helen Thomas is not only an old anti-Semite, but also an IGNORANT!! At the time her parents moved to the USA, there was NO Lebanon, only the Turkish empire!! Should she return there??

Thomas' claim her statements aren't anti-Semitic is ludicrous. She seeks to deny Jews our Homeland soley because we are Jews. That is the very crux of racism. There is absolutely no doubt that the liberal media is full of unexposed Helen Thomases. She is a typical media liberal. In other words, a very thinly disguised hateful racist hypocrite.

how can she call for a key US ally to be effectively dissolved as a nation and expect to maintain a job in the whitehouse. She was basically saying Israel should not exist.

Israel is the most criticized country on the planet. People do it all the time and what happens - absolutely nothing. Now if you criticize the Arabs you will get terrorism and rioting in the streets. Stupid racist old hag.
