White House correspondent and current Hearst Corporation columnist Helen Thomas told a documentary filmmaker at the White House that “Jews should go back to Poland…back to Germany…and America, and everywhere else.”
The YouTube video, which can be viewed here, demonstrates an outrageous and complete lack of understanding of history. Thomas seems to have been schooled by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a belief that Jews appeared in Israel after the Holocaust. Thomas ignores historical facts that Jews have called the Land of Israel home for more than 3,000 years, long before any other group made a home in the land.
“Thomas’ comments are contemptible,” B’nai B’rith International President Dennis W. Glick said. “Her distortion of historical reality is astonishing. Her call for Jews to return to Poland and Germany—site of the Nazi genocide, the worst genocide in modern history—is beyond offensive.”
Time and again, the Palestinians have rejected a plan for a two-state solution. Time and again, the Palestinians have answered Israel’s peace concessions with rocket and mortar attacks. None of these facts factor into Thomas’ reality.
“These vile comments, unfortunately, are the culmination of Thomas’ ongoing anti-Israel sentiments that she kept thinly veiled over the years,” B’nai B’rith International Executive Vice President Daniel S. Mariaschin said. “There should be no place for her in a news organization. Her comments go beyond commentary and land well in the camp that will stop at nothing to delegitimize Israel.”
B’nai B’rith calls on Hearst to dismiss Thomas immediately.
Hearst Corporate Leadership email addresses:
Keep her around to remind us of the MSM’s real viewpoint.
Not mentioned anywhere; even republicans haven’t mentioned it. Our side truly is crock full of pansies.
But of course we all know that it was the jews who bombed busses, university, pizza parlor, purim party, WTC 93, Pam Am 103, WTC 9/11, the Ft. Hood massacre, the Arkansas shooting and killing at the recruiting center.
Jewish men arrested in Buffalo, Ft. Dix, NJ, Colorado, NY, plane bound for Detroit, Times Square attempted bombing.
Those jewish people are just so violent.
Helen needs to wake up Her ugly face is reflective of the ugliness in her soul.

Ari Fleischer did.
She is Lebanese.
Nothing will happen to Helen Thomas.
If Hearst fires Helen, SHE WILL IMMEDIATELY LOSE HER WHITE HOUSE PRESS CREDENTIALS.
E-mail Hearst now:
Let her speak and publish her words. Shove them down tolerant apostite throats.
She reflects the Obama occupation. The Democrats are distancing themselves from him. In their hearts they love this evil person, but an election slaughter is not far off.
really you don’t think that there are already 100 plus loons like her already in the media?
Axe her and the rest for her bigoted, biased, kind.
My ex husband married into a Lebanese family...enough said.
Aren’t we better off with her in the liberal press corpse?
Exactly, and why should she be fired. She has just stated what she has believed all along.
Helen Thomas is anti-semite, that is no secret.
She probably wish’s she could send republicans back to Treblika and Dachau too. Would that be a surprise??
If a conservative said this or anything similar about any other group (except white men) they would be FIRED before they got back home.
Makes me sick
“Keep her around to remind us of the MSM’s real viewpoint....”
and I wonder if it’s the Obama admin viewpoint. Prob would like to distance themselves from this.
