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. ...

I agree with everything but the “probably.” I think it would be a certainty. He would also likely face hate crime charges of one kind or another.

>>Apparently she apologized for these remarks, but only today. From her webpage:

Helen Thomas issued the following statement today: “I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians. They do not reflect my heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon.”

Yea, right. Must have felt some heat from her employers at Hearst.<<

Just re-writing this post so everyone can be sure to see the makeshift “apology,” if you can call it that.
