Dani ,   Amsterdam NL   (03.19.11)
I am always glad to here from racists like you, How many Blacks, White or Yellows, Christians Jews of Muslims. All over around the world we are less than 22/25 Millions. How many Jews out of proportion to general population are being discriminated. Save of Zion are inspiring you and the nice lady.

5000 jews were killed by polish man and woman after the war. being jewish was outlawed in poland in the 1960. millions had to leave all arabs land after the war , my family included. many groups have power in the us including the jew's. She is simply a good old fashined arab jew hitter.

mba ,   Israel   (03.19.11)
You miss the point my friend. Ms Thomas, in sending the jews back to Europe or the USA, negates the right of Israel to exist. She or her parents immigrated from Lebanon to the US (also a land taken from other peoples) without the consent of a UN. As for Lobbies and the control of jews in various sectors, I don't recall many articles by her concerning this matter or questions to the President in her many years covering the White House. What questions does it beg that American jews occupy many influential positions? The emphasis being on American!!!!!!!!!!!!!
68. #58 - of course she's wrong!
michael redbourn ,   Arad - Israel   (03.19.11)
"Jews control White House, US and Congress"? How do Jews control the White House? How do they control the Congress and the Senate? Jewish members of the Congress and Senate obviously have influence and they're supposed to have it. As far as I know Jews Make Up 8.4% of congress and there are 13 Jewish Senators - so how do they control the White House, the Congress and the Senate? Ah, Mossad did it. ?! Please get info before spreading misinformation. Michael

BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.19.11)
hop to it, pay special attention to the urinvals !! At least he expresses her views in public, you hide yours giving a town that has no residents I have an idea, date her, two uglies such as you, would make a rather revolting pair Her face wouldn’t just stop a clock, it could Destroy Big Ben
70. I think that her homeland Lebanon, is lucky!
Eshkol Hakofer   (03.19.11)
a- it is not controlled by the jews! b- it's about to be controlled by the shi3a. c- she would be happier there! in burka and all! mazel tov
71. #58 i Is that for ibrahim?
Brazen   (03.19.11)
Just for your information Not only is she WRONG, it really doesnt matter. She is intitiled to her WARPED oppinion, but have some cooth, tack and more importantly professionalism. There are just some things you dont say, so she paid the price!!! just a foot note besides she should have left Detroit when she was old enough, you didnt know JEWS run Detroit. Yella
72. So what...
Walt K ,   Sherbrooke, Canada   (03.19.11)
She is very old... too old to see that there are more dangerous threats who float around the world... her old anti-semitic prejudices push her to forget that European and american civilisation is, by tradition, Judeo-christian.
73. Wait a second...isn't she AMERICAN
GR ,   London   (03.19.11)
...shouldn't she take her own advice and get the hell out, and give the Native Americans her house and all her (considerable) wealth. What a hypocrite - but then racists aren't known for their moral consistency....
74. Let's imagine
Sagi   (03.19.11)
that Muslims control the Senate and Congress and Hollywood and Wall Street. Let's just imagine and hope it never come true.
75. Her spite & venom find little favor here, #58
Cameron ,   USA   (03.19.11)
You may may indulge her resentment at the position of Jews in American society, but many have little time for it. That prominence was earned through individual study and hard work, and that is not to be begrudged or whined about. Power out of proportion to their relative numbers? How many centuries have we been listening to that squall in Western & Islamic lands? If so, has it been to our economic and cultural loss? On balance, I think not.
76. #58; I, you can run but not hide
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (03.19.11)
As I pointed out in my post #34 the Jewish people have 165 Nobel prize winners, while Muslims have only 6. Why is that? It's called education, the Jewish people have always put a high priority on literacy and higher learning. Now here in the USA the Jewish people were discriminated against, even at Ivy League colleges, with quota's of professor's, students etc (as recently as the 1940's)., this was also true in the business world. So what would you do to excel and make money. You might be self employed, own a business (Levi Blue Jeans), Tailor, Grocer basically any trade, or become a Doctor, Attorney, Accountant, Writer, Artist etc., you get the point? You look for something everybody needs and get the education or expertise to get involved in it. Is that a crime? Is that a conspiracy? It seems, a blame the victim excuse. So in the world of art many Jewish people went out west for the emerging movie industry. The world of art looked for creativity and so a Jewish person was respected for what he could write, draw or just create. My point is simple the very discrimination that drove the Jewish people to become successful on their own is now used to condemn them. Who would have known in 1920, when actors and that profession was looked down upon, that it would become so powerful and influential. If your a doctor and your the best, people will come to you (because they want to live), the same is true for lawyers, accountants, tailor's and so on. Certainly the high Nobel prize winner's doesn't speak to any conspiracy. So basically your point is simply antisemitic. The same trash that has been rehashed for a thousand years. To me the idea that AIPAC a lobby that gives $10 million dollars in donations every two year election cycle, pales in comparison to the $400 Billions dollars a year we spend as a country to import Oil. If money buys influence, who would have more, $400 Billion per year (OPEC), or $10 million every two years (AIPAC)?

You are correct.May Allah keep you strong for many years to come.

(03.19.11)
the answer to your question is BECAUSE JEWS ARE BRILLIANT! they are accomplished and educated, top notch nobel prize getters in all fields. DID YOU EVER ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTION BELOW???? how come jews, contrary to their minute number all over the world, ARE THE BIGGEST RECIPIENTS OF PRIZES AND NOBELS IN ALL FIELDS IMAGINABLE??? now, this is the answer to your questions. jews in top positions HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CONSPIRACY THEORIES. NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR GRAND PLAN TO INFLUENCE ANYTHING. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT YOU IMAGINE JEWS TO BE LIKE IN THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION. you ask yourself how non jews may feel because jews are at top positions? here is your answer. YOU SHOULD WORK AS HARD AS THE JEWS. EDUCATE YOURSELF AS HARD AS THE JEWS DO. SACRIFICE YEARS IN ACADEMIA AND KNOWLEDGE AS MUCH AS THE JEWS DO...THEN, YOU WILL HAVE TOP POSITIONS AS WELL. do not ever ever ever assume that jews stand in any way in the way of non jews to suceed. this is an ignorant fallacy born out of jealousy of non jews towards the success of jews everywhere. don't, as a non jew, ask yourself why jews and not me. do something about it and you'll attain the same grandeur and positions at the top. also, i can't imagine what all those jewish nobel prize holders have to do with standing in your way and i can't imagine that congress and white house which is 8% jewish compared to non jews will be a threat to you or will seem that they are stealing your limelight. let's face it. you yourself, harboring such thought are a classic antisemite but you have a hard time saying it. just the question you posed by asking how non jews will feel if there are so many jews in top position is itself a jealousy, a wrong wrong antisemitic concern. it would be better for you to ask, how can i work as hard and acheive what the jews acheived. hameed aboughaze, iranian

Grant Thomas ,   USA   (03.19.11)
Don't worry, no one other than the mainstream media liberals listen to anything this old hag has to say. She's been a foolish old woman for years, and I believe she has privately been a laughingstock among the White House newsmen.

this clown of a woman continues to spout lies! her buddies in the white house are anything but pro Israel or Jew. lies are her words and life she proves she has no concept of truth every time she opens her mouth!
81. # 34 and 76 Mark
Sagi   (03.19.11)
In spite of what you say the Muslims are highly literate and very well educated. They know the Koran inside out, backwards and upside down, from left to right and from right to left. Maybe we should speak to the Nobel Committee and request a new category.
82. Helen Thomas in Playboy!!!???

83. Helen Thomas' Interview w/PlayBoy
Moll ,   Calgary, Canada   (03.19.11)
Anti-zion is a "code" word/euphemism for anti-semite. Helen Thomas at 90 is working hard to not "bless" the jews, but rather to "curse" the jews. The God of Israel noted, in His Word, that He would "bless those who bless Israel, and curse those who curse Israel" (Genesis 12:3). So shall it be!
84. To: No. 58
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.19.11)
What are you babbling about? There is no international conspiracy or cabal. Jews achieve high levels because of their abilities. For example, there is not one member of the Nobel Committee that is Jewish, yet Jews account for a remarkable number of Nobel Prize recipients. Jews, by contrast to any other definable group, are extremely high achievers. We are very well represented in the sciences, the arts and the professions. It seems to me that it has more to do with education and ability than anything else. I know that in the United States, for example, the children of Jewish immigrants invariably achieved college and graduate school educations. No other definable immigrant group in the United States can make the same claim. Second best are Greek Americans, and it takes them two generations. Why is it so difficult for non-Jews to accept that it has everything to do with ability and education, and nothing to do with absurd conspiracy theories such as that spouted by warped people such as Helen Thomas and, I fear, yourself?

Kerry Winn ,   Sin City, U.S.A   (03.19.11)
Actually, you are mistaken. If you make a claim, support it with valid sources. Try a valid source, like an .edu sociology site for this information. There are many prominent Jews in the West and in the U.S., however, their population has shrunk from 3.7% to 2.% of the U.S. population, and is shrinking moreso in Europe considering the number of antiJewish attacks ignored by European authorities.
86. HT is a demagogue.One is equal to her on this board.Pathetic
Michael ,   California, USA   (03.19.11)
87. Salma, The Inconvenient Truth
Harry ,   Toronto   (03.19.11)
ladies and gentlemen, FYI Salma is the spitting image of Helen Thomas. Not surprising.....
88. Helen Thomas says what liberal journalists think.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.19.11)
The main difference between Helen Thomas and most other liberal journalists is that Thomas says what she thinks. Other liberal journalists agree with Thomas but have too much sense to say so in public. Why do you think Israel is demonized non stop in the liberal media? It is full of Helen Thomas clones, pretending to be fair, objective journalists.
89. Shocking centerfold!
Jude ,   Israel   (03.19.11)
Is that her real face,or is she dressed up like Arafat's mother for Purim?
90. Helen Thomas
barbara allen ,   Los Angeles, USA   (03.19.11)
What is most disturbing about the remarks of Helen Thomas, is how she managed to keep them and her position, quiet from her colleagues for so many decades. She was not just another reporter, but the prima ballerina of the Washington press corps. She was it appears, nothing more than a cell. A cell for those who covet hatred and twisted realities. A cell for those that would see an entire people extinguished from the earth. When she says she is not anti-Jewish, but anti-Zionist, the point must be made, that it is a difference without distinction. She does not believe in the right of the State of Israel to exist, ergo, she does not believe in the right of the JEWISH state to exist. How did they miss it? By "they", I mean other journalists, the many White House press people through the years, and more. No, not only were they blind to her hatred, they were courtly to her. Their ignorance is unforgiveable. At the end of the day, Ms. Thomas is nothing more than a garden variety anti-semite. Without reason or facts, just toxicity. When she says she will die with her boots on, I assume she means.....jack boots.
