In CNN interview, veteran reporter refuses to call comments urging Jews to leave Israel and return to Europe insensitive, says Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is the real insensitivity.
The Jews did not have to leave Germany and Poland following the Holocaust since they were not being persecuted anymore, former White House correspondent Helen Thomas said in an interview on Thursday, adding that the Jews had no right to take other people's land.
Thomas, 90, stepped down from her job as a columnist for Hearst News Service in June of last year after a rabbi and independent filmmaker videotaped her outside the White House calling on Israelis to get "out of Palestine."

She needs another ride on the UGLY TRAIN!!!
It’s really nice after all the years of proclaiming Helen Thomas to be a whacked-out-nut-job to be able to say, “See, We Told You So”!
Senile dementia.
The gift that keeps on giving, just like Jimmuh Carter...
The jews didnt have to leave Europe after the Holocaust. Most were dead already and those that survived wanted to make sure they had a homeland where they could make sure it never happened again.
helen thomas is the reason why brothers and sisters shouldnt marry. They can produce offspring as retarded as she is.
I used to think that Helen Thomas was just stupid. Now I realize that she’s out-and-out delusional.
Naaahhh, she's always been like that...
And dont forget catholics who voted for a pro dead baby POTUS.
There is enough blame to go around for the state we are in now.
Or, she's just an stupid evil bitch.
And Helen’s parents didn’t have to leave Tripoli, Lebanon.
The democrat party is filled with these vicious racist anti-semites, like Helen Thomas.
Meanwhile the Darwin Award idiot U.S. Jewish sheep give endless money and votes to the democrats.
Probably easier to leave and start over than to get your furniture back from young Georgie Soros.
More standard, boring, Arab propaganda. Jews did not take someone else's land.
More importantly, if she stands on principle, she should apply it uniformly. So, does she blame Muslims for taking over Spain and the largely Christian North Africa? What about the Turks, who had never been even observed where they lived now and simply showed up and took over? Should they get out of Istanbul and rename it back to Constantinople? What about the Arabs --- should they all crawl back to the Arabian peninsula?
Of course not.
Her "principles" apply only to the Jews.
She’s 90 years old. How much longer until this stupid, ugly, anti-semitic old Arab hag takes her rightful place in Hell? Actually what would be great is that instead of 72 virgins, the 9/11 hijackers get Helen Thomas.
