Striking a defiant tone, journalist Helen Thomas, 90, said today she absolutely stands by her controversial comments about Israel made earlier this year that led to her resignation. But she stoked additional controversy with new remarks, claiming that "Zionists" control U.S. foreign policy and other American institutions.
...
"We are owned by propagandists against the Arabs. There's no question about that. Congress, the White House, and Hollywood, Wall Street, are owned by the Zionists. No question in my opinion. They put their money where there mouth is…We're being pushed into a wrong direction in every way."
She's got an overdose of the Protocols, or what? It is supposed to be diluted first and sniffed, not injected pure, intravenously!
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? Who are you?"
So apart from being an antisemite of the worse kind, Helen Thomas doesn't know the accepted meaning of the word.
Thomas resigned from Hearst Newspapers in June after telling a rabbi on camera that Israelis should "get the hell out of Palestine" and "go home" to "Poland, Germany and America, and everywhere else."
She later apologized for her comments.
We now see what her 'aplologies' were worth of.
At the end of her speech, Thomas spoke about bias against Arabs and then recalled the words of a rabbi at Martin Luther King's 1963 civil rights march on Washington D.C., when he made his, I have a dream speech. Thomas said that the rabbi, who survived Nazi concentration camps, told the crowd "the greatest sin of all in the Nazi era was silence."
We see now an even greater sin: the spiritual descendants of the Nazis do not just say nothing... They speak again against the victims.

Helen Thomas should read about Martin Luther King rather than trying to use his name in support for her racism.
MLK once rebuked, at a dinner, a student who made an anti-Zionist remark, saying, "When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You are talking anti-Semitism."
MLK was much more intelligent than most and wasn't fooled by the change of words. As a preacher for love and understanding, he recognized hate at first sight and did not allow others to fool him. And he knew what non-violence was.
