Helen Thomas: "Congress, the White House and Hollywood, Wall Street are owned by the Zionists."

[^_^ 5,021]

In an interview, Thomas, 90, said that criticizing Israel led to her resignation and ostracism in Washington.

"I can call a president of the United States anything in the book, but I can’t touch Israel, which has Jewish-only roads in the West Bank," Thomas said. "No American would tolerate that — white-only roads."

Thomas, a longtime White House correspondent who grew up in Detroit as the daughter of Lebanese immigrants, was in Dearborn for a workshop on anti-Arab bias.

In a speech inside a center in Dearborn, she talked about "the whole question of money involved in politics."

"Congress, the White House and Hollywood, Wall Street are owned by the Zionists. No question, in my opinion," she said. "They put their money where their mouth is. We’re being pushed into a wrong direction in every way."

...

Asked by the Free Press how she would respond to those who say she’s anti-Semitic, Thomas said: "I’d say I’m a Semite. What are you talking about?"

Senility has really brought out the worst in her.

But we have American-only roads, which citizens of other countries cannot use, unless they have a valid US visa. Palestinians who have Israeli work permits can use the same roads as Israeli citizens.

Had the Palestinians not been robbed of their home when it was handed to the "chosen people," we would have no Middle East crisis.

Without a Middle East crisis, however, we would have no terrorism, and without terrorism, we wouldn't have a reason to engage in wars. Without US corporations like Haliburton making insane money in warfare, we wouldn't have the insane campaign contributions that got our politicians elected.

That's the majority of our elected officials are millionaires and multimillionaires, and as such, they know who to support when it comes to political decisions.

Helen Thomas is 100% correct, but she was unable to speak out while serving the press corps. Now retired and close to the end of her life, she can finally tell it how it is.

Bravo!

We may still have terrorism, but they would not be able to use Israel as a justification.

The Middle East crisis predates terrorism so your theory is bunk for most part. Israel didn't directly fight the PLO until Lebanon in 1982.

Plenty of wars even in the modern Middle East had nothing to do with terrorism but you wouldn't know anything about that would you?

It's spelled "Halliburton" and they made insane money in peacetime. Lastly, if you think donors drive policy, you really should find out who the really heavy hitters are.

Kind of telling that 5 of the top 10 are unions. The top one of those pay their union dues with pay that comes from taxpayer money.

So what kind of "only" roads are OK with you? White only? Women only?

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

But we have American-only roads, which citizens of other countries cannot use, unless they have a valid US visa. Palestinians who have Israeli work permits can use the same roads as Israeli citizens.

Holy #######! I gotta tell all those Quebecois to get off the road! I'll start tomorrow. I also gotta find out why we have all our road information signs in French around here, I'll let you know.

The sad thing is that if Helen Thomas had said what she said on the radio in the Soveit Union she would NOT be fired or asked to resign. Neither would Dr. Laura or Don Imus. This is country is wacko crazy for PC to the point that no one can state the truth in public...what does that sound like?

Bravo!

So what is, exactly, "insane money" ? And how would we limit it? Upper level income limits on companies? People? Companies and people? Or do you want to limit companies income but not people's income? That would be interesting. Do you want a MAXIMUM wage as well as a minimum wage? Please define

seems the truth is reserved for state department cables and they are doing all they can to keep those from the public. LOL, corporations and gov't are trying the squelch them... good to see powerful people sweat.

good thing is that those cables are timeless in the sense that no matter when they hit the public's eye, they'll still cause a nice stir.

I'm a Zionist, and quite proud to be one.

She's quite right, you know. I get a quarterly dividend check 4 times a year for my share of ownership of the White House, Hollywood and Wall Street. It makes for a nice little bit of supplemental income added to my primary income of selling matzohs baked with the blood of Christian children.

Hey Helen - Any other hateful stereotypical myths you'd like to pin on the backs of those who believe in the inherent right of the Jewish people to a homeland in their ancestral country? You know, clear the air - let us know what you REALLY think of us, don't hold anything back.

Terrorism pre-dates modern Israel. Terrorism was a weapon in the creation of Israel and the resistance against it.

I don't see eye to eye with Zionists, but I found it notable that Thomas felt it was OK to express anti-Jewish bias as an Arab at a workshop on anti-Arab bias. There's something just wrong about that.
