Helen Thomas is not sorry, nor were the comments that ended her career accidental.
“I knew exactly what I was doing – I was going for broke,” she told Playboy in the magazine’s April interview. “I had reached the point of no return. You finally get fed up … I finally wanted to speak the truth.”
Thomas, of course, left her perch as the dean of the White House press corps last year after telling a rabbi and blogger that Jews should “get the hell out of Palestine” and “go home” to “Poland, Germany and America and everywhere else.” Her family is Lebanese and she grew up in the Detroit area, home to one of the country’s densest populations of Arab Americans.
She spoke to Playboy at length about the situation in Palestine, her feelings on American support of Israel, and her take on Jews.
But her most controversial comments echoed ones she’s made before about the influence of Jews in American life, which have contributed to her name being stripped from journalism awards.
"[The Jews are] using their power, and they have power in every direction,” she told Playboy. “Power over the White House, power over Congress … Everybody is in the pocket of the Israeli lobbies, which are funded by wealthy supporters, including those from Hollywood. Same thing with the financial markets. There's total control … It isn't the 2 percent. It's real power when you own the White House, when you own these other places in terms of your political persuasion. Of course they have power. [To the interviewer] You don't deny that. You're Jewish, aren't you?"
She also had some controversial views about memorializing the Holocaust.
"There's nothing wrong with remembering it, but why do we have to constantly remember?" she said. "We're not at fault. I mean, if they're going to put a Holocaust museum in every city in Germany, that's fine with me. But we didn't do this to the Jews. Why do we have to keep paying the price and why do they keep oppressing the Palestinians? Do the Jews ever look at themselves? Why are they always right? Because they have been oppressed throughout history, I know. And they have this persecution. That's true, but they shouldn't use that to dominate."
under a mango tree in the Philippines..
You Lucky DOG.
The wife can have the plantation house in South Mississippi..I’ll take the mango tree..
When we go back to Cain and Abel, we find the first man born into this word murdered his brother, because his righteous brother Abel offered a better offering.
As we go down through history, we find a sovereign God chose a people, to be their God, and to send a Saviour into the world, to save the world.
That saviour, Jesus Christ, said: “Ye worship what you know not what: we know what we worship for salvation is of the Jews.” (John 4:22)
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit, and in truth, for the Father seeketh such to worship.” (John 4:23)
“God is a Spirit; and thye that worship must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24)
I think most Jews bet their silver on Hillary and lost. Left with the choice of a center-left republican and marxist democrat the majority of Jews voted for the marxist.
There can be no doubt Obama is evil..he has a spurious birth,..this has not been seen since Caracalla of the Roman Empire..
Helen is old enough to have accompanied Moses out of Egypt.
Wells since Moses was a Jew; Helen was probably helping the Egyptians chase him.
Helen was probably part of a chariot team. I wonder if Helen had a harness on, or a saddle? And a bit in her mouth?
Maybe the Red Sea parted when it saw her face?
If she knew what was going to happen then why has she complained non-stop since then?
I hate the picture of that dog!(The German Shepherd picture kind of makes up for it though..)
one should live under a mango tree..
An interest in their own historical roots.
Yeah, and then there’s the secret Jewish handshake. C’mon Helen! The Jews own Obama, disciple of Jeremiah Wright?
"nor were the comments that ended her career accidental"The truth is, she's Exhibit A in the reason the MSM is dying.
“I wonder if they have a secret handshake?”
Silence! Foool! Don’t tell them about the two-way handrub shake, followed by Flip Wilson elbow and hip bump!
The second picture is a red X in IE. Is soembody nekkid in that one?
Silly Helen. If the Jews really owned the White House, do you think they’d have let the current occupant anywhere near it?
