RabbiLIVE.com did a quick interview with Thomas, who works for Hearst Newspapers, last week. Her comments toward Israel were illuminating.

Perhaps Ms. Thomas has no grasp of history before 1948. Or, perhaps, her anti-Semitism blinds her to it. Has our national position changed so much toward Israel that we are willing to allow such idiocy to spew from our White House press corps?
Someone should give Ms. Thomas, who obviously lived during the period of World War II, a short primer on what happened to the Jews during those years. If she were so inclined, I could give her details of Israel's history, beginning with the Hebrew/Jewish occupation of those lands from Abraham’s original entry through the Exodus from Egypt. Then we could discuss the establishment of the Jewish monarchy through the Davidic line and the Philistine occupation of the area of Gaza. Incidentally, the Philistines were Phoenicians, not Islamic Arabs.
She may be interested to hear that the Jews were taken from their home by Assyrians in 722 B.C and the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar in 586 B.C. They later returned to their homeland to find the remnant of Jews surrounded by hostile peoples against whom they were forced to defend themselves, leading to the reconstruction of the wall of Jerusalem. Alexander occupied Palestine as he marched through the region in 332 B.C. The Romans conquered Jerusalem in 63 B.C., eventually destroying the Temple in A.D. 70.
The result of the Jewish War with Rome and subsequent Roman rule was a dispersal of the Jewish people throughout the Empire, although many Jews remained in Palestine. Through the years following the fall of the Western Roman Empire (after A.D. 476), a large percentage of the population of the Holy Land was Jewish. ...

Wow. A major, unvarnished bigot sits front row in the WH house briefing room every day for 60 years, and who knew? Amazing. The lights are coming on.

Bet the msm won’t criticize her.
Is she a Jew?
Obama is throwing the Jews under the bus. America’s tax for not being Muslim?
This is 90% of the liberal playbook. It's why their mouths are so filthy, their hypocrisy so grotesque, and their minds so full of hate - they're abusive cowards protected by the very system they pretend to be against.
Words are wasted on them.
Jews are successful.
There is no end to the sin of envy.
This is a rare case in which it would really be appropriate for President Obama to dispatch Rahm to handle the problem.
"Sounds like a great idea, Helen!"
Agreed. There are plenty of other issues to which we need to pay more attention than a doddering old woman who says what, likely, many of her comrades think. But it’s also good to be reminded of what the liberal playbook includes and the nature of the adversary.
As an aside, didn’t Marge Schott get lambasted every time she said something similar?
But, the Jews do not care. As long as Bambi is their leader, the world is OK.
Helen is merely expressing what a lot of her liberal and leftist friends are thinking, but won’t dare say.
Decent people need to speak out against evil clowns like Helen Thomas, Farrakhan, and the rest of their noxious ilk.
I think that’s true... it just seems like they’re becoming more bold at a time when negative popular opinion of the administration, Congress, and the Media should be keeping their lunacy in check.
Helen should go back to Lebanon. Most Israelis don’t know anything about Europe, never having lived there.
I've been asking that for years. The CryptKeeper doesn't even work for any publication anymore; why, is she still in the WH press corps?
But Mel Gibson had to go through sensitivity training.
Hmm. Her family is not from here originally. Maybe she should go back to Lebanon. Nasrallah might need a backup wife. There's burqa material if ever there was.
RE: “How did this happen? Why is it politically correct to hate Jews these days? This is absolutely outrageous, creepy, and disgusting.”
***************
I’d like to know why it’s so common for Jews to appear to hate themselves these days? Most Jews I’ve talked to vote Democrat, ALWAYS, love Obama and have no use for Israel. I don’t get it.
Is the anti-semetic witch employed by Hearst Corporation?
