61. 22 Arab states, all nazi-like brutal dictatorships
Fred ,   USA   (04.17.11)
Thank God for the only democracy in the Middle Eastern area - Israel!
62. Ant-i Christian As Well
leo ,   nyc   (04.17.11)
All these groups want no Jews in Israel, but do they care that in all the countries where "revolutions" are taking place, Christians are being threatened as well. Look what is happening to the Coptics in Egypt---my neighbor's family there is being threatened and told to leave-that in the "new" Egypt there will be no room for Christians---this is the same all over the Middle East. Christians wake up !!
63. concerned citizens, yeah yeah
Nour ,   Amsterdam Nederland   (04.17.11)
Its's amazing that whenever a person criticizes Israel they are called anti-semites or Jew haters. It seems to me that many Jews are not able to cope with criticism of any kind. Why is that? Are they too stupid to understand that criticism is not a racist or anti-semite thing? Are they so blind to their own flaws and faults?
64. Not anti-semitic?
john   (04.17.11)
She says "Same thing with the financial markets. There’s total control....It’s real power when you own the White House." No, she's definitely not anti-Semitic ;-)
65. To # 12
Michel ,   Jerusalem   (04.17.11)
More than 6 centuries of Church antisemite propaganda in Spain, And you cannot get rid of ?
66. I love the picture :-]) Good job Ynet !
Yossef   (04.17.11)
67. to #60 you wrong before 1948 there was twice
ghostq   (04.17.11)
Israeli state in the area, the 1948 was just official declare for what that was already there. palestine is british colonial name, I wouldn't relay on British colonial name after what I descover they did in Kenya, in which Kenya isn't the original name of the place, in this case there isn't any diffrence.
68. #9 Salma if you look like your tata Helen
Yossef   (04.17.11)
let's forget our coffee together at Stimatzky, in Mamilah next June. LOL :])
69. hitler said it first
bill ,   can   (04.17.11)
hitler said the same things and he did something about it and failed jews in israel are rats on a sinking ship the world will deal with israel this time and succeed let the good times roll
70. to all you hate mongers
Rafi   (04.17.11)
What hate still at her age....so sad...to send Jews back to Germany and Poland...says it all...stupidity and cruelty as she knows what they lived through. As an Arab who is she to send anyone back before hitting the road herself back to her native Lebanon where her Muslim friends can take good care of her being Christian. If she had to think of her safety she knows she would be safer withing the Jewish enemy in Israel. Poor and broke Arabs are spending tons of money to spread Islam in the world.. Americans and the free world welcome Jewish influence in matters of humanity, democracy, freedom, security, medicine, technology, science, the arts and prosperity...or is it an attempt to disguise the take over of the world 6 billions people by the evil 13.5 million world Jewish population?..
71. to all the talkbackers claiming anti-semitism...
seadog1946 ,   ArthurKill, NY   (04.17.11)
it's not... its just ancient tribal rivalry. "Nu, so I heard they elected a schvartze for President. "
72. Helen Thomas
Max ,   Washington DC   (04.17.11)
I feel sorry for Helen Thomas who in her waning years suffers from dementia as well as anti semitic thoughts. The US should enact a law to strip her citizenship and expell such a vile person.
73. Support is not synonymous with control
Stephen in New York   (04.17.11)
Polls show that the majority of Congress and the American people support Israel. Support is not synonymous with control. This is so tiresome. Of course Thomas is an anti-Semite.
74. We love you Hellen!
Nour ,   One State   (04.17.11)
It's about time the American people "push aside" all the AIPAC infestation in Washington, and look after their interests instead of kissing Israels feet!
75. #68 Yossef , we are all beautiful in God's eyes: )
Salma ,   Palestine   (04.17.11)
Don't be ashamed how God created you, ( remember, no one created him self ). but do not worry dear Yossef, I'm beautiful inside and outside, what about you ? well kidding ^^
76. To Nour
Andy ,   Canada   (04.17.11)
Or is that really darkness? The reason people like her are accused of anti-semitism is not because she criticizes in an objective fashion rather she generalizes and accuses all Jews of being involved in a plot to control the U.S. gov't. Some control. The U.S. doesn't even agree to Israel building in existing neighbourhoods in Jerusalem. But that is the whole point, widely sweeping statements about recent Israeli policy and the old canard of Jewish 'control' is exactly the same form of antisemitism that we saw in virtually all the Eastern European and Arab countries through their history. No balance in her statements nor in yours or Salma's. You are probably the same person anyway. No discussion of Muslim control of the U.N. and Muslim control of the European Union. No analysis of the why the plentiful Muslims have kept their brother Pals locked in frozen suspension -- while tiny Israel welcomed all the Jews thrown out of Arab countries. Do you really want Helen Thomas as your voice of conscience, Nour? As your poster child? I would have thought a slightly more inspiring figure. Then again, you are the people that were represented by Hanan Ashrawi. Say no more.
77. Disgraced Helen
CORDOVERO D'ESPINOZA ,   MONTRÉAL, CANADA   (04.17.11)
Come along, world army of Jew haters and Israel bashers, of all times, kinds and countries, come along and hasten to fulfil the words of Israel's great prophets! : I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,” declares the LORD. “I will keep a watchful eye over Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the LORD Almighty is their God.’ On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place (Zecharia)
78. If she isn't the wicked _itch of the west.
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.17.11)
Something tells me she's lived a miserable pathetic life and joined the global schoolyard bulling Jews/Israel bandwagon.
79. #41 - Typical anitisemitical rhetoric
Maurice ,   Montreal   (04.17.11)
You are not even an original! It's the same worthless antisimitic rhetoric we heard from the Nazis. Get lost!
80. #75 It seems that Helen was a beauty
Yossef   (04.17.11)
when she was young. But her hatred made her ugly inside and of course this hatred sweats outside through her face. She is not ugly but her soul is, and this is what we see when we look at her. About you ? Never become ugly inside and you'll not be ugly outside. You are how you are Salma, what is important is what you say here. But certainly your husband will have a hard time with you, I'm afraid :-( Myself ? Well... I'm fine thanks :-)
81. To seadog1946
Tuvea ,   Chicago, Illinois US   (04.17.11)
and yet ... as they always seem to do ... Jewish Americans voted overwhelmingly for the Democrat candidate in 2008. Even though his friend the Rev. Wright is as a big an anti-Israel hater as Ms. Thomas.
82. Salma....yuk!
Jared ,   Miami   (04.17.11)
I bet she weighs 250 pounds and is ugly as Helen!
83. Thomas:her mind infected with The Protocols of the SaZion
Joe ,   Canada   (04.17.11)
Helen Thomas brains seem to be polluted with the lies of the widely translated version of the 19th century antisemitic russian pamphlet which claimed that Jews are conspiring to control the world. The nazis also used the Protocols as one of their propaganda arguments to try convince British & US public opinion not to send their soldiers to fight in WWII by claiming Roosevelt & Churchill were controlled by Jews. And it had desastrous effect on the decision making process of the the two leaders who deliberately failed to order military steps to at least slow down the Holocaust in 1942 & 1943 for fear of loosing the support of their electors. Helen would also like the US current administration drop all support for the only democracy in the Middle East to help the people of her kind in those dictatorships which are starting to crumble from the inside without the help of the US.
84. Helen - Hizbullah stands behind you
William ,   Israel   (04.17.11)
what does that really say about you as a person - a disgraced one at that? It's not AIPAC that's your problem, it's that you're rotten to the core. You can tell a lot about a person by the company she keeps - and if Nasrallah supports you - the same that slaughtered many of your countrymen who opposed their terrorist rule...well, 1000 anti-AIPAC honors can't erase it.
85. #2 - no different than begging to Latino groups
William ,   Israel   (04.17.11)
or African American groups, or even CAIR, in order to shore up support. But it seems only AIPAC is of concern with you, which seems pretty pathetic.
86. The wicked witch of fictional Palestine.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.17.11)
The fictional land of Oz had a wicked witch, who threatened Dorothy and her little dog Toto. Helen Thomas appears to be determined to be the wicked witch of fictional Palestine. She certainly look and acts the part. However, in all honesty, the despicable racist comments from Thomas represent the thinking of most liberal journalists.
87. I guess Helen Thomas is more powerful
Edithann ,   USA   (04.17.11)
.then I had thought! Hahaha... TATA
88. #13 - but inside, Golda Meir was warm and kind
William ,   Israel   (04.17.11)
She was admired and loved by many, many Statesmen including women in politics back when it was a "male-centric" industry. Golda Meir was admired for her style and her strength but she never spread hatred like Helen Thomas. But since Helen speaks more to your own personality, it's not a surprise you'd gravitate towards her.
89. #27 - If such comments were directed at Muslims
William ,   Israel   (04.17.11)
we'd see threats and violence erupt, not just a simple firing - though Juan Williams is a clear casualty in Muslim control in US. Consider two very innocent incidents over the past year - a young girl who created "Draw Muhammed Day" on Facebook and the crew from SouthPark who had an episode to draw all religious figures including Muhammed. The South Park crew was threatened publicly and had to censor themselves, and the young girl now lives under another name and FBI protection. How's that for "soft Muslim response"??
90. #41 - "tell it like it is" or "like you want it to be"??
William ,   Israel   (04.17.11)
Tell a lie enough times and people believe it's truth....just like the lies your ilk push placing blame of 9/11 on Jews and that "Palestinians" are natives.
