She was born in 1920, she should remember for herself. And would if she wasn't so anti Jew. Perhaps her parents were anti Jew (although they would have left before many non middle eastern Jews had moved to Palistine, which was then populated, as much as it was populated at all, by Jews and Arabs, both Muslim and Christian ones, although more of the former.
Apparently she appologized 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.
Does anyone else get sick of these people, after being called out for outrageous comments, claiming that such candid statements were “regrettable”? Or not “heart-felt”? When else do we hear the true feelings of such pitiful figures except when they are caught in a candid moment where they don’t believe they’ll be called out? Enough with the obvious hypocrisy. I mean, didn’t Richard Blumenthal also regret saying he served in Vietnam?

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