Helen Thomas

WOW! Haha ... Now I've heard some pretty off color things from the mouths of some from the older generation, but WOW! What is probably even more wild about this is that Helen Thomas, the woman in the video making all of the blatant anti-zionist statements, after 50 years as a member of the White House Press Corp and its most iconic members, she is stepping down because of these comments. The women started there with John F. Kennedy. She has served there for over half a century.

Now to be fair she is around 90 years old and closely resembling the undead, so retirement was bound to come soon, but the circumstances have brought about some questions of the rights of free speech. Now the video shown here asks how Mrs. Thomas can be unbiased in her reporting when she is making comments such as these, but would they have made similar accusations if she had spoken in of the Israel state?

The zionist issue is not a simple matter and is certainly one littered with heavy areas of gray. There is no ignoring the atrocities made towards the Jewish people in the Holocaust of WWII, but the establishment of the Israel state does seem to have been made out of guilty haste with little considerations of the people already occupying the area. There have been tremedous acts of violence committed both parties, and yet the United States has stood in unwavering support of Israel.

To a degree this has been necessary in order to establish the state in such hostile territory, that is if you believe the state should have been established at all. However if you do not believe as such, it begs the question what should have been done with some millions of people having just faced the worst atrocity in modern history. It is not a simple issue, but it is certainly it is a issue that ought to open for discussion.
