Here is video of Rabbi David Nesenoff on Fox and Friends this morning to talk about his encounter with Israel-hating White House Correspondent Helen Thomas. Nesenoff is the Rabbi who interviewed Thomas at a White House Event celebrating Jewish Heritage where Thomas said Israel should get the hell out of Palestine, and also said Jews should go home to Poland and Germany. Nesenoff said his initial reaction to Thomas remarks was Whoa, because he had two teenage impressionable young men with him, both of whom were wearing skull caps. Thomas has since said she regrets the remarks. Nesenoff said its time for Helen Thomas to go, and its really disgusting for her to continue as a member of the White House Press Corps. She showed her colors, the Rabbi said. Rabbi Nesenoff is right. The revelation that she not only said these things, but did it deliberately in the presence of two Jewish teens (wearing skull caps) shows just how vile Helen Thomas has become in her hatred of Israel. As the Rabbi said, its time for her to go.

Why does Helen Thomas get a pass? Why are her liberal cohorts in the media covering for her?
Thomas has simply revealed the ugly undercurrent of hatred for Jews that exists in this country. I’ve seen it plenty of times. Thomas just let the mask drop. I personally don’t tolerate this kind of crap.
We should simply shun these anti-Israel morons, those both in and out of government.
They are not anti-Israel, they are full-blown Anti-Semites.
Helen Thomas’ true colors are red, white and black.
Our muslim president holds sharper views on Israel, so can he leave with Helen?

Helen Thomas may have 'jumped the shark' this time, but her age (90 this year) and sheer longevity in the Washington D.C. press corp coupled with the recent worldwide hostility to Israel, thanks to Obama's signals that we no longer back the only democracy in the middle east, and her carefully-worded, ambigious 'apology' may give her just enough cover to get away with her vile, anti-Jewish remarks.
Still, her nasty comments have exposed her bitter hatred for Jewish people and although the MSM will try hard to cover this up or dismiss it as 'just an elderly woman mis-speaking', this won't be forgotten and perhaps a few American Jews will finally recognize that liberals are not the friends they thought they were - but don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.
She showed her colors,
Isn’t it bad enough she showed her face?
What does she look like?
Absolutely correct. The deep seated racism of the left is legendary. She is a particularly vile proponent of killing Jews.
Helen Thomas will soon be gone. Who will replace her? Eleanor Clift? Arianna Huffington?
Everything the witch has ever done or said adds up to the bottom line she that finally escaped her nasty mouth. When she acted like an Arab racist but did not say it outright...well, that was no big deal because she acted like every other leftist...except their Jewish financers.
That is one sick puppy there all around.
You have a very valid point. I now feel sheepish to admit that I’ve mocked her appearance in the past, but truly, no more. As conservatives we really should take the high road.
I notice that over at the Huffington Post, Thomas is a big hero. Her statement about Jews getting out of Palestine echoes the sentiments of the closet bigots in the “progressive” community.
Per Wikipedia, both of Helen Thomas’ parents were immigrants from Lebanon.
She’s a little like the person who says that blacks should go back to Africa. And by the way, why doesn’t she go back to Lebanon?
Ping.
