Her decision came after her controversial comments about Israel and the Palestinians were captured on videotape and widely disseminated on the Internet.
Thomas later issued a statement: “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.’’
Thomas will mark her 90th birthday on Aug. 4.
Sweet. The fall from grace is just about complete.
MAZEL TOV!
That decrepit old hag should go back to her homeland Lebanon.
next up she’ll be doing speaking tour with pat buchanan
Dont let the door hit her on the way out. Well, on second thought it might knock some sense into her
Don’t worry, Helen. You can probably get work with Al-Jezeera. They may ask you to wear a burqa, though.
Good Riddance!
I think she is” Patur” from wearing a burka Lechol hadayos
Small children and old people just say everything they hear at home. I guess she heard this shmoozing in the White House.
day shud put her in de aushweizen consentrashun kemp und lok de dor for one week. dis shud be in de vinter time so det she vil friz her tuches off und kroak.
It’s nice to hear that remarks about ethnically cleansing Jews are still considered beyond the pale. Frankly, I was getting worried…
Hooray! Mazel tov! It took long enough!
Her face is an example of truth in packaging.
” only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon.’’
NOT WITH YOU AROUND! HAVE A NICE LIFE AND STAY OUT OF POLITICS, YOU DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD!
bavod (binfoil) reshoim rina !!!
excellent news.
great work to those who emailed and called the hearst corporation!!!
it wasnt a ‘controvisial’ remark, it was a pure hateful remark.i wouldnt ,in my deepest sleep remark ‘let all afro-amenricans go back to africa’
She needs a job as a “human” shield in Gaza.
She looks and sounds like the witch that ate Hansel and Gretal and the one that gave the poison apple to sleeping beauty.EEK!
She just may be invited on the next “Humanitarian” flotilla.
She should have retired a long time ago.
WHY DID SHE RETIRE, WHY WASN’T SHE FIRED? Those spineless idiots and bigots over at hearst…
Kain Yovdu Kol Oivecha Hashem !! Omein
Now board a ship to Gaza and stay there with your freinds!!
It would be wise to put her on the watch list…since she might fly her broom in to the Pentagon or the White House
Hopefully Ahmadinejad and Nasrallah will soon follow her in exiting the world stage.
Shame on Hearst for not firing her?
You can retire now, but you still got to put in your time in-Hell, Hell-in.
i mean come on just because she made a statement like that she should be fired?? she said im sorry and that she really regrets it!!!!!!!!! all of u comments u never made a mistake she is human and humans make mistakes and making fun of her face i mean she has a telem elokim and chas veshalom how could we make fun of her!!!
כן יאבדו כל אויביך………………………………………..
I really don’t know what everyone is getting so worked up about. Helen Thomas’s attitudes are no different than the way most gentiles feel, especially when they’ve had some schnopps. Several years ago, after Mel Gibson was pulled over by a Jewish deputy sheriff in California, for driving under the influence, nasty stereotypical attitudes came out of his mouth, pertaining to negative remarks about Jews. I remember that nearly thirty six years ago, I heard two senior enlisted members of the U.S. Navy talking about the then Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, General George Brown. Brown had also made some stereotypical remarks about Jews (i.e.”they control the banks, newspapers”, etc.). When one of the enlisted personnel stated “What he said was not true”, the other remarked “Well, I don’t know if it was true or not, but I wouldn’t have apologized”. This is the typical goyish way of thinking, which unfortunately, is a fact of life. Even in ER, there is anti-semitism which emanates from the Russians, many of whom are not halachically Jewish. There have been incidents of skinhead Russians, and other gangs, attacking frum Jews.
b”h about time
Hearst: “You’re fired!”
Helen T.: “You cannot fire me because I just quit!”
Thank you Ari Fleischer for speaking out. YOU are the one that got rid of her. Yasher Koach!
The witch thought she was talking to a dumb Rabbi, little did she know her comments would be put on you tube.
Another example of obama failing to stand up against her comments instead telling her to resign immediatly before pressure mounts, he could have made a statement that would have taken him far.
I am a physician with many Hearst magazines in my waiting room.
From reading this site I got the email for her boss.
I wrote that lady and told her that until Thomas is gone we will no longer stock their magazines. I said that as a Jew I found her words deeply offensive.
Apparently, it pays to write.
out at first, and go HOME i.e. Lebanon!
I haven’t had such a good laugh in a long time, as I had reading these comments!
Yea she should go back to her home town!
LEBANON!
If she truly regrets her ‘mis-spoken’ words, let her go toe to toe with all those who praised her when she shot her mouth off.
ie Achmadinijad, Hamas, etc…
that female dog will not be missed in the press room at the white house or elsewhere. May she suffer her reamining years for what she said about yidden, especially those who are Holocaust survivors.
“`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”
Thank you for enlightening us as to what your viscious comments DO NOT reflect. What else don’t they reflect? The price of tea in china?
That is not an apology. It is a cop-out; nice try.
The very scary thing is that she was spewing and intermingling her hate in all her questions and columns during all these years. The same with the Peanuts jimmy Carter. We didn’t know he was so anti semetic. Together with Zieg Heil Kurt Waldheim.
How many more like them are out there? How many more Lebonese and arab ancestry journalist are lurking in the dark?
“She will be marking her 90th birthday on August 4”
Why be so optimistic????
Good riddance. I hope this miserable wretch suffers the rest of her life. What an ugly hag, inside and out.
She looks like the type of witch that would have pushed two more jews into the already filled cattle cars heading towards their vacation in Auschwitz. There was simply too much breathing room there.
Makes you wonder if she was a bigot her intire career and just hide it.
This is what I wrote to her.
Dear Helen:
Thank you for retiring. It’s about time! You finally showed your true colors. Your statements regarding Jews & Israel and that they should go back to Germany & Poland leaves one to conclude any of the choices below:
1. You’re a holocaust denier
2. Your’re a Nazi sympathiser
3. You’re senile.
Any which way you have no credibility. What amazes me is that you ever had any credibility at all. We were always on to you everytime you asked your hateful pro-Palestinian questions at the White House.You’re nothing but a Arab anti-Semite whose tongue finally let the truth out.
PS: You’re not even a good or knowledgeable Christian. I thought all Christians read the old Testament which speaks about the Jews living for thousands of years in Israel. Don’t tell me that you didn’t do your homework before you report.
Anyway enjoy your retirement. I would encourage you to move back to Lebanon where the Hezbollah would certainly give you the honorific of being the dean of their free press.
I also wrote Hearst how they ever let such a bigot as their star reporter. How many other anti -Semites do they have running around?
Well i guess we have a Haman grandchild amongst us. Can we make the bracha Meshane habrius on this beautiful venom?????
Are her press credentials to be give to Rev. Wright?
