A Question for Helen Thomas: Where Is MY Home?
Helen Thomas is of Lebanese Christian descent. She’s a senior White House correspondent for Hearst Newspapers. And she thinks that Jews should get the hell of Israel and go “home”. I don’t even know where to begin with this nonsense so I won’t. I wonder if she now occupies America?
I’ve seen that there is now a Facebook group dedicated to asking Helen where is “home” for Israelis who’s families maybe come from different parts of the world or, heaven forbid, those who can trace a familial lineage in Israel going back more than a few hundred years. And believe me, I know at least two people here who’s great great grandparents were born in Israel.
The following comment at New English Review is from Jihad Watch’s Hugh Fitzgerald:

Hugh FitzgeraldHelen Thomas is of Lebanese descent. She is apparently unaware that the Christians of Lebanon have their fate tied to that of Israel, though her own ancestors from Lebanon left the area because they were threatened by circumambient Islam. Why does she think so many Lebanese Christians left when they started to be able to leave, with more accessible transportation, when the getting was good, beginning a few decades after the massaacre of the Maronites in Damascus in 1860?
She has been like this for years; her hostility to Israel, and her idiotic identification with Muslim Arabs, that is her islamochristian sentiment that is not shared by many Maronites who know better, is not new, but has been available for insprection and dissection for years.
Perhaps it is only now that her viciousness is being noted, at the very time when the ideology of islam can no longer be hidden from view, and dots are — admittedly more slowly among the slower-witted — being connected between Islam and the war, the war without end, being waged against the Infidel nation-state of Israel.
Aussie Dave adds: Helen Thomas: butt ugly on the inside and outside

someone should ask obama what he thinks of her comments.
I can't help but feel that if she had been talking about muslims, then we would be commenting on a post about worldwide rioting and threats of murder.
On the plus side the sale of freakish looking ventriloquist dummies would go up rapidly in response to the need for effigies to burn.
I hope the old witch chokes on her saggy skin flaps. Is it any wonder anti-Semitism is becoming so common in the world when old bags like this believe it is entirely appropriate to unashamedly let such vile thoughts out in the open without consequence with?
A quote by Amos Oz,
* “Out there, in the world, all the walls were covered with graffiti: ‘Yids, go back to Palestine,’ so we came back to Palestine, and now the worldatlarge [sic] shouts at us: ‘Yids, get out of Palestine.’”
o A Tale of Love and Darkness (2003)

And please note that Amos Oz is a confirmed leftist.
I can speak with a few anecdotes. My own Maronite friend all but hates Muslims and I think he said his dad in fact does hate Muslims.
The only reason Tomato-ass is still relevant is because shes refused to give up her front row centre press seat after 50 years.
OT, but you will love it:
from tim blairs blog, 2 aussie journos ordered to sit down, by israeli commando with aussie accent.
Commando 1: ''Down! Sit down! Get down!''
Geraghty: ''Professional journalists!"
Reporter Paul McGeough: "We're with The Sydney Morning Herald."
Commando 2: "We know you're with the Herald."
Geraghty: "Bloody hell – Aussie accents!"
Commando 1: "No worries."

In the whole anti-Israel report, here is the following revealing passage:
"A young Belgian woman who had been hit by a paint pellet was bleeding from the nose."
Proof the IDF is telling the truth.
Another proof that israel isn't a racist country…there are frickin' aussies in our army.
In addition to arab israelis elected to the knesset every year.
here's my take on the terrorist flotilla raid:

What a bullsh*t clip. Screw her, Aussie Dave.
No thank you!!!!!
Helen Thomas "apologized" for this statement on her website:
“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.””

I beg to differ, but this is barely an apology at all. First of all, she did not make comments regarding "the Israelis and the Palestinians". Her comments were explicitly about Jews, who she claimed are simply occupiers of Palestine. Furthermore, she recommended that the Jews return to their "homes", which she considers to be Germany and Poland – scene of the near extermination of the Jewish people in Europe – or, possibly, America. Assuming she is mentally intact at the age of 89, which is doubtful based on her statements, she has been alive and in the public eye long enough to be well aware of the meaning of what she said.
Talking of public eye, perhaps the scariest thing in this whole video is that; even with a camera shoved in her face; you still have no effing idea what the hell she is looking at.
[...] looks like the Gaza flotillarists and Helen Thomas have more in common than just a pathological hatred of [...]
I don't quite understand the interview. Seh seems to be attending a Chabad Jewish Heritage rally. Why would the guy ask her about Israel. I guess he somehow was unaware of her reputation.
Where is Danny Thomas when you need him?
Wherever Danny Thomas is, I hope he's still doing spit takes.
She's at the Jewish heritage celebration event at the white house. I know someone who attended and she got to meet sandy koufax and totally chilled with him. It basically was a meet and greet with obama and jewish american leaders. She was probably there to report on the event as many of the press were invited.
She's an idiot and obviously senile to openly say that at an event that was where a lot of jews who are pro-israel are attending. Its like my hundred year-old colleague at work who is so senile that when they tried to fire her, she didn't understand what that meant.
The longer time passes without her being banished to her crypt, the more the right-wing press looks good. The Fox News Channel didn't attain its number one ratings in cable news through some mystical hypnotic hold over viewers.
HELEN THOMAS, WHY DON'T YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF THE UNITED STATES,THE GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD, AND GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM.
'YOU ARE A TOTAl DESCRACE TO THE HUMAN RACE- JEWISH OR ANY OTHER.
Fox and friends interviews the rabbi who interviewed her. Turns out he was with two teenage journalists wearing kippot so its very strange that she would say this when she obviously knew she was talking to religious, israel supporting jews.
And being that I personally know the teenage boys involved, I can attest that she said that to their faces knowing that they were religious.
Here's a link to the fox and friends interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fSqqRJToDI&fe…!
Helen did not appear in her usual front seat in the press room today and we are waiting to see if the WH is going to revoke her credentials.
she retired or told to retire
Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Helen.
I think the door hit her in the Face, HARD.
I wonder that Helen Thomas is a journalist since she apparently can't read.
How is it possible to read the Old Testament without knowledge of Jews in
the middle east from time immemorial.
How is it possible to not be aware that the United Nations voted Israel a
sovereign state in 1947 (statehood in 1948).
How is it possible for her not to know that "home" is where the heart is – for
Jews, that is Israel.
As usual, stupidity reigns supreme among the left.
Dear Brian AKA Idiot,
Helen Thomas is Greek Orthodox, not Maronite Catholic…do your homework before trashing her…
Brian said that she is of Lebanese Christian descent. He did not say Maronite. Sometimes it’s better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than open it and remove all doubt.
