Many Islamic supremacists in the U.S. are doing so as well. They recognize what a service she performed in giving legitimacy to "Palestinian" jihad propaganda and the bloody jihad against Israel. "Hamas Mourns Helen Thomas," by Ari Soffer for Israel National News, July 21 It might not be the way most high-profile journalists would like to be remembered. Not long after the passing of veteran American journalist Helen Thomas yesterday, aged 92, Hamas' very own "military wing", the Izzedeene al-Qassam Brigades, posted on its website a heartfelt eulogy. The post - highlighted by the Elder of Zion blog - was entitled: "Rest in Peace Helen Thomas. We respect you for taking a stand." Thomas has been eulogized by many - including the US President - as a trailblazer for female journalists, being the first woman to join the White House Correspondents' Association, and the first woman to serve as its president. She was also the first female member of the Gridiron Club, Washington's historic press group. Politico.com wrote that she served for 57 years at United Press International, first as a correspondent then as a White House bureau chief, before becoming a columnist for Hearst Papers. But the "stand" referred to by Hamas was, perhaps unsurprisingly, nothing to do with women's emancipation. Instead, the group - which calls for the annihilation of the Jewish people in its charter - praised Thomas for a rather ugly tirade against an American rabbi, filmed in 2012. In the video, seen below, Thomas tells her Jewish interviewer that Israel should "get the hell out of Palestine," and that the Jewish people should go home to "Poland, Germany ... and America and everywhere else."
Thomas was correct in insisting that Israelis cease to occupy Palestine. She has international law on her side. Screeches of 'antisemitism ' from supporters of international criminality are righty ignored.
She was not correct. Screeching that Jews should be sent back to Germany is antisemitic. You know you have got completely wrong if Hamas mourns you.
At press conferences she asked the tough questions, not the fake softball questions that Bush-Cheney arranged for "journalist"/male prostitute Jeff Gannon to ask.
As Thomas was only referring to neoZionist jews it was a purely political statement- and she was correct and backed by international law. It's good that Zionists fear Hamas. Resistance keeps Palestine alive.
It was clear to all rational observers that Thomas was referring to extremist political ideology not Jews per se. Any suggestion to the contrary, stinks of - to use moons phraseology - "anti-semitiosis". Similar disingenuous attacks and smears have been made on others, most recently for example, on the UK Liberal Democratic MP David Ward. Outrageously, Ward was suspended by the party until September 13 for uttering the following truism by tweet on July 13: "Am I wrong or am I right? At long last the Zionists are losing the battle - how long can the Zionist state of Israel last?"
