This you must see, from old moonbat Jew-hater Helen Thomas:
She is long past her expiration date. This via Yid with Lid who has the full context: Helen Thomas Says Jews Should Get the Hell Out of Palestine and Back To Germany-MUST SEE VIDEO

After the unforgivable, someone, perhaps her employer (Hearst?), instructed Thomas in the correct grunts she was now expected to make: Helen Thomas issued the following statement today: "I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israel... Read More

Amazing.
Yes, this is shocking.
'Hell'en "Judenrien" Thomas
Psuedo-Prez Obama is another Juderien Jew-hater wanting Judea and Samaria ethnically cleansed of Jews. If he wasn't, he'da more strongly condemned the Gaza blockade running militants.
But not surprising given her leftist orientation. Clearly on board with the Red-Green Alliance Caroline Glick writes about.
Thomas is part of Obama's disaffected base. Nappy says that not just because Helen Thomas is a card-carrying member of the MSM. Dear Leader disappoints Helen by not working even harder to stick it to our allies and suck up to dictators and tyrants and not pushing even harder for socialist programs. Single-Payer anyone?
I'll bet she welcomes two looming disasters that BHO may have put on the back-burner for the time being: the energy-tax scam (cap and trade) and suppression of dissent by regulating the Internet as a utility.
Not only are her comments a cynical call for the elimination of Israel, they are factually and historically incorrect. The vast majority of Israelis are from the Middle East - either current day Israel or neighboring Arab countries. Palestinians are also mostly from the Middle East, many from neighboring countries, but ultimately from the Arabian Peninsula.
Jews have lived in Israel continuously for over 3000 years, 1500 before the Arabs decided to spread out from Arabia on their mission to conquer and convert the world.
But the really disturbing part of her comments is that, if she had said anything this hateful about African-Americans or Hispanics, she'd be barred from the White House and fired from her job. When the comments are about Jews it's as though it never happened.
...she ought to get her ass back to her roots in Lebanon before she dies. Bury the ugly bitch in a burka. Celebrate diversity!
I think we should thank Helen for this frank admission of her real feelings. As part of the liberal media for decades, I am sure she has expressed these sentiments often to her associates in the media, and especially with the White House Press Corps, but they have protected her from any consequence. We now have proof of the anti-Semitism that is rife in the media. We already knew it, but now the light has come on, and we can see the cockroaches. Bet money that this will not be covered in the mainstream media, and no condemnation of Ms. Thomas will be forthcoming from the usual suspects.
Ugly is as ugly does.
Geez, and for some reason, I thought she was Jewish. I think I heard that somewhere. Oops. :-)
Yeah, well, this is shocking and scary and depressing.
I wonder to what extent the Christian Arab communities in the US and Canada share her beliefs.
helen thomas should get back in her crypt before the sun rises and she turns into a gargoyle.
Oh!
No question that attitude is wide-spread among Christian Arabs -- they are dhimmis after all -- but not universal. I know Christian Lebanese who are more pro-Israel than I am.
There is nothing shocking about Helen Thomas' politics. She holds the opinions that are typical of the majority of the Western Left. She is your average Western Leftist.
This is an indication of how acceptable anti-semitism has become in Obama's America. She won't be sacked for it either. Imagine someone said "Blacks should go back to Africa" do you think they'd be sacked?
I think Helen's comments are being distorted. Her points express concern for indigenous residents of Palestine who were expelled to make room for persons who moved to the area from other parts of the world & yet whose rights to live & work there have received greater protection than the Palestinians' have. To couch it as just "anti semitic" is to continute ignore the injustices to the Palestinians.
The Jews are the indigenous residents of Palestine (to name just one of the amazingly wrong things about what Helen Thomas said).
ConcernedAboutSupportingRacism,
Simply put if a Jewish reporter said all Arabs should go back to Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, you would be outraged and demand that he/she be kicked out.
When an ethnic Arab reporter makes racist comments, you defend her.
You FAKE CAAP, are a bigot, and as FAKE as any "anti-war" bigot who never demonstrate against osama bin laden, al qada, hamass, hezbullah, saddam hussein.
CAAP, I do wish you and your cohorts continued and eternal nakba.
Her comment makes no mention of "indigineous residents" being expelled so I don't know why you believe she is expressing such a concern.
She just wants the Jews out.
She is an anti Semite.
All that's missing is a brown shirt, little mustache and swastika adorned arm band. She's too old for the Hitler Youth or a go at the goose step, but still alert enough to spew venom. Way to go Helen. Your dreadful remarks render your long career completely irrelevant. From this day on, not a soul will hear your name or see your face and be able to recall anything other than your hateful comments.
Apparently no one has told #14 about the unbroken Jewish presence in the Holy Land for thousands of years. #14 also apparently doesn't realize that many Arabs immigrated to the area at about the same time that big waves of Jewish immigrants arrived.
Helen Thomas should be thanked for saying what so many in the media are thinking anyway. But the media isn't biased of course (except for Fox News). Yeah...
I fear the history lesson would be wasted. Facts have little effect on the post modern mind. They believe in "narratives"*.
Helen's mask slipped because she's senile, though she never has been very bright.
* bullshit stories not backed up by facts.
Helen is not senile. She has an opinion.
Fact is no country has god given right to exist, not Israel, not Palestine, not the United States because there is no god to give such a right. We have to work it out. To many people Israel is the west assuaging it's guilt by giving away Palestinian land to Jews.
You can go back as far you like and you won't find an answer to this, anymore that history was the key to easing the troubles in Ireland. We have to determine this. I wish we could call Jerusalem an international city, but this really isn't about a homeland, it's about wanting a particular piece of land. As long as it's about "God gave this to us" there will be war. When it becomes about actually making non-theocratic nation-states there will be peace. Hamas may not like, the ultra-orthodox rabbis kicking women off the buses won't like it, but most people will.
I wish she hadn't retired. Why is this any more controversial than kicking Palestinians out to make a Jewish homeland? If we can't say what is on our minds how we can debate? She wasn't reporting, she was answering a question, and frankly, she's never hidden her views. I think what has really upset folks is that she was upset with being approached like that and chose Germany and Poland as the places to go home to. That was bloody chum in the water, but I think we are a big enough to take it. Or I did. Now I know better. And I have lost that much more hope for peace.
How about the fact that she's right? Palestine is occupied territory. Has been since 1948. For all those that are so hung up on Israel's supposed "right to exist" what about the Palestinians? Thomas is right, there won't be peace in the Middle East until the last Israeli gets on a ship and goes back to where they came from. Until the waves of immigration immediately after World War II the vast majority of people in British Palestine were Palestinian muslims and had been for eons. Forced from their homes at gunpoint and herded into refugee tent cities to live in squalor while the invaders farm their land and live in their homes. And then expect them to not want their land back? Get real. Here's a clue Israel and Zionist apologists: Surviving the Holocaust doesn't entitle you to anything. That plus $5 gets you an overpriced cup of coffee at Starbucks. It sure doesn't give you the right to act like the people that persecuted you.
But nevermind, Helen Thomas committed the one unpardonable crime in America, criticizing a crappy little country that was founded by ethnic cleansing and sustained on apartheid, right? Yeah, let's not hurt the feelings of the Zionist butchers who constantly spy on their only friend the U.S. and in 1967 attacked a U.S. Navy ship (the Liberty) and killed several American sailors.
Helen Thomas, you were the only one with any balls in the entire White House press corps. Good for you for speaking the truth.
Enid,
It is great that you have empathy for others.
but you really can learn more if you look at historical records
like population, etc. documented by the rulers of this
region -- ottomans, british, etc (NOT the Jews)
Are you unaware that there are Jews that lived in Israel continuously since Jesus' time?
Are you unaware that about 1/2 of the Jewish Israeli population is comprised of Jews from Arab countries that were forced out follwing the est. of the state of Israel?
And there is so much more you can learn, and actually make an informed decision about what's going on instead of this idea that the only jews that live in Israel are post-holocoast europeans.
good luck with that, i hope it goes well for you

To anybody defending the comments of Helen Thomas - please read this:
http://www.solomonia.com/blog/archive/2010/06/thomas-and-the-jews-as-european-imposter/index.shtml
Somehow, apart from the ugly connotation suggesting that Israelis should go "home" to places where Jews have been tormented and even exterminated, she's forgotten the Jews who are a majority of Israelis: those who fled the Arab world.
And somehow, those of you who continue reinforcing your hateful mythology that will inevitably result in further violence never learned about this.
Well, read and learn.
Amen
Frank,
- JORDAN, East of the Jordan River, is "palestine"
- Arabs killing Arabs for various reasons has a l-o-n-g history - predating 1948
- Thomas is right to end her career in shame - will she take her own advice and go back to Lebanon???
- Jews were in Israel for eons BEFORE the so-called prophet muhammed and his armies of "peace"
- Which so-called "palestinians" have been living in TENTS for 62 years?
- Jews LEFT refugee camps after WW2 and built Israel
- "palestinians" wallow in hate and destroy
- Jews were ejected, ran for their lives from Arab countries in 1948 - a population exchange, like the one between Pakistan and India in 1947
- Surviving the Holocaust means building a nation, depending on yourself and not others to protect you, and building a military to back up NEVER AGAIN
- Islamofascists in Gaza, south Lebanon, Syria, doing their nazi salutes, just makes Israelis more determined to fight
- Helen Thomas just exposed herself as the racist witch she is - if a reporter said blacks should go back to Africa, would that be OK with you "Frank"?
- Speaking of apartheid and ethnic cleansing, "Frank", which country will you be returning to to end YOUR apartheid and ethnic cleansing?
- Why no mention of islamofascist bombing of the USS Cole, Khobar Towers, US Embassies in Africa, Fort Hood massacre, 1993 bombing of WTC, 9/11, Times Square bombing, Londons 7/7/05 bombing, Mumbai India massacre, current day slavery in Sudan, Beltway sniper, muhammed cartoon riots and death threats?
Happy NAKBA Frank and Helen, and may you have many, many more!
Hey Frank, how about she's a vile old hag who wouldn't know her arse from her elbow?
Why not say what you mean? You didn't mention Jews by name once. Though I'm pretty sure you were talking about Jews and not Israelis. Unless you think that moslem Israelis were also "persecuted" by the Nazis. 'Persecuted" is an odd and rather understated way to describe the mechanical, state organised and documented slaughter of six million people, it seems to me.
But you seem to think that "Palestinian" muslims have been in "Palestine" for eons. Considering that there were no moslems before the 7th century AD and no "Palestinians" until 1967 I find it hard to believe the they have been there for an immeasurably or indefinitely long time. The Jews have had a continuing presence in what is modern Israel for over 3000 years.
Moslems in the holy land have certainly been a presence for many centuries but only as members of the caliphate most recently under the rule of Turks. Their identity as "Palestinians" is a recent invention. There were no Palestinians when Jordan ruled the west bank or when Egypt ruled Gaza.
You hit the trifecta of anti Semitism without mentioning the word Jew once. Jews act like Nazis, they are ethnic cleansers and operate an Aparthied system.
At least the old hag spoke of Jews when she responded under questioning; though at first she spoke of Israelis. Why be so coy Frank? Don't you mean Jews?
Eddie,
Well said.
As an Australian, I would like to add the Bali bombing of 12 October 2002 to your list of infamy.
Two hundred people, mostly young men and women, mudered by these mongrels.
Eighty-eight Australians.
I won't forget.
PS
Like Eddie,
Happy NAKBA Frank and Helen, and may you have many, many more!
Some of you people i saw comments of said things like, helen hunt wants jews to go back to germany and poland were they were once massacred, these people act like they are in disbelief with the comment but in fact the jews we're germans and polish people that in the times of WW2 fled their countries to PALESTINE while in this area they were even less welcome and they knew that besides in this region they were massacred as well many times before by the romans, egyptians, hittites and more that i'm forgetting. Above all that they invaded the country of palestine en masse and took over they're country like they themselves are nazi's.
Helen Thomas is right and why americans always have the need to gag the truth when it comes to israel is really weird to me. Any idiot can just look it up in the history books. It looks to me like you are the antisemitist and just don't want all those jewish people coming HOME to new york and la and other us cities. Kinda in the same way americans supported the jews to leave in the first place because a justifiable reason for supporting a people that are going to take another people their land and country away can not be given especially not when that people (jews in this case) have felt the pain and suffering from the experience of having it done to them (as in the holocaust). It's a case of victim becoming the perpetrator...

Spot the differnce?
Now, back to your mosque.
Rik, I understand you are upset that the Israelis are NOT the unarmed Jews of WW2 nazi filth infested europe (now eurabia), but that's the way I like it.
Here is a picture of an armed Zionist to contemplate.

Happy Nakba "Rik" and may you have ETERNAL NAKBA!
Here is a picture of helen thomas without her makeup, getting ready to LEAVE the US and fly back to her familial home in Lebanon.

Sorry, but Helen Thomas was right. When the Isaeli squatters stop building settlements in occupied territory maybe the world will have some sympathy for Israel. As it stands today Israel is a murdering, lying, criminal state. I'm sick and tired of seeing billions of American tax dollars got to this insane country. Israel: Get your murdering hands out of my pocket. We Americans pay to defend your colonial ambitions while back at home in the US our schools & infastructure goes to waste. How many homeless veterans could be housed and given medical care? How many schools could be opened if we cut off Israel's Welfare checks? How many senior citizens could be housed affordably? How many working class children in this country could be fed? No one knows because we keep giving this gigantic Welfare Queen in the Middle East called Israel billions upon billions. America wake the hell up and de-fund these rip-off con-artists. Go to almost any other country in the world and you will find the overwhelming majority of people will hold the same opinion. Americans need to get a clue.
Oh wow, you people are so ignorant to be saying things like "back to your mosque" whenever someone disagrees. The Palestinians are not perfect, they fired some rockets on Israel, but then Israel went ahead with full-on war and bombing schools and hospitals and civilians. They also found it to be so much fun to enter Palestinian territory and take some more land to build luxury appartments on, just for kicks. I bet they were meant to be holiday houses for rich Americans like you. And now this. Killing people who are trying to help the Palestinians who are more or less imprisoned behind Israels blockade. Nothing gets in or out of there, including food and medical supplies. I'm not saying that Palestinians are completely innocent in all of this, but the unproportional reactions of Israel have easily turned people against them.
The fact that the UN just gave away the land where Palestinians were already living, because no one else wanted the poor Jews after WWII is quite strange, and I think that is more antisemitic than anything else. "We sure as hell don't want them, let's just stick them somewhere out of sight". Britain had already promised the Palestinians independence and not come through with it, so no wonder they were slightly upset when they were pressured out of their land instead.
Point is, I partly understand where Helen Thomas is coming from, and although her statement was a little politically incorrect and inarticulate, I don't see why the hell people have to make such a big deal out of this. I'm scared of sounding antisemitic, but I'm so provoked by all of this pity for the Jews because of the Holocaust. It was horrible, it should never ever happen again, but COME ON! We never stop hearing about it either! I find that especially Americans (no offence) are completely unaware of sooo many other terrible things that have happened and are happening around the world. For instance: Let's not forget that Stalin probably killed a whole lot more than Hitler ever did, and how about Mao? The Khmer Rouge? The genocide in Rwanda? Somalia, Sudan, Uganda, the CONCENTRATION CAMPS (you love that word don't you) in Northern Korea where people are killed this very day? Why do we hear so little of them? Probably because they have no one in high positions in the US to whine about "their people's" misfortunes. So shut up, PLEASE!
Reggie,
If you can concentrate long enough you should try reading the Landes' article to which Solomon linked. You should consider his term "useful Infidel" and ask yourself if it sounds like you.
How can you say this and have anyone take you seriously?
They didn't fire "some rockets", they fired thousands and declared war on Israel. They announced, and continue to announce in the Hamas charter, that their aim is to kill all Jews. They are the self proclaimed enemy of Israel - you kill your enemy in my world; particularly when that enemies stated aim is to obliterate you. You must live in a strange world.
Israel, as is its wont, tried to restrict civilian losses when it retaliated. Had it intended to attack civilians, or destroy all infrastructure, there would be nothing left alive or standing in Gaza. Educate yourself and look at some of the photographs of Dresden, Tokyo or Hamburg from WWII after the allies got through with their retaliation. Or google Fallujah (either the first or second battles) and compare and contrast the losses to the enemy in those battles to those in Cast Lead.
I don't have the patience to deal with all of your stupidity and hyperbole but will give one example of the nonsense you speak.
This cancerous entity known as Gaza has been on the international tit for decades. They produce little of their own (other than Islamic nut jobs) and whine endlessly.
If "nothing gets in" they must have mastered living on fresh air.
What Thomas said is no worse than the intolerance that people like Rush Limbaugh and Pat Buchanen display. Rush Limbaugh not that long ago said that Obama's hostility towards Jews might be motivated out of a belief on Obama's part that many bankers are Jews!! Sounds pretty bad to me.
Furthermore, Helen Thomas is right. I hear exactly the same opinion all the time from other progressives. Why was Israel founded in Palestine - why not Germany? Why should the palestinians suffer because of the Holocaust. Carter has said similar things as well (though not in so many words).
Parrots say exactly the same thing all the time but it doesn't make what they say true.
"HELEN THOMAS IN HELL", "Reggie", "Bruce",
I understand you are all upset. Good. That's the way I like it.
Your racist hag is out on her wrinkled ass because she proved that she is NOT an impartial observer, but a racist bigot - like the FAKE "anti-war" activists who have nary a cross word for the islamofascist osama bin laden, al qada, the muslim brotherhood, current day slavery in Sudan, death fatwas for drawing a cartoon.
OPEC drains the hard earned AFTER-TAX money of BILLIONS of people all over the world, thanks to OPECs insatiable GREED.
According to T. Boone Pickens, the US shelled out $700 BILLION dollars one year to countries that don't like us - that's OPEC.
And speaking of moving, your so-called "palestinians" should move to... Saudi Arabia, where the "palestinians" can bring their special culture of death and destruction to the home of 15 of the 19 islamofascist of 9/11 infamy.
Please note that the Israelis are not the unarmed Jews of WW2 nazi vermin infested europe. That's why they call it a NAKBA.
Alyssa, more and more I see our pro-Islamic-Hezbollah views, How come?
-----------
I will say it agaisn, Helen Thomas' racism & ethnic cleansing views is shameful, especially as a Lebanese she should know better, at at time that most Palestinian Arabs are not "natives", they're actually immigrants from Syria & other surrounding Arab lands. mostly their immigration occured in the years between 1880 and 1948.
Let's remember that it was the Mufti that founded the Arab Israeli conflict in in 1929 by his genocide campaign to ´Kill all Jews,´ nothing has changed since.
The Islamic Mufti influenced Arabs' racism by his Islamic radicalism!!!
The Arab world Keep on branding everything Israel does for defense as "racist" Because racist sepremacist (almost all of) Arabia & racist Palestine don't even allow Jews to live in their "pure-arab" apartheid land.
And what is Arab terror on Jews all about if not raw anti-Jewish racism?
And what is the motivation behind all the bloody cruelty upon its people by Hamas / Hezbollah to cause civilians to die in order to blame Israel for it, Is it not bigotry?
Try to conduct a poll in ALL OF ARABIA about Jews...
Most Israeli Jews are "brown." BTW! And Arabs are often treated far better than Jews, look at all court cases!
On a side note:
We should never forget what Arab Palestinian (PLO, Arafat) Muslims did to Lebanese in Damour. All the while they keep on talking about Sabra Shatilah
Fatimah AKBAR!
