    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.

    Don’t worry, Helen. You can probably get work with Al-Jezeera. They may ask you to wear a burqa, though.

    It’s nice to hear that remarks about ethnically cleansing Jews are still considered beyond the pale. Frankly, I was getting worried…

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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?
