Helen Thomas is not just a journalist or White House Correspondent , she is an icon in press in the United States as the oldest White House correspondent , the first woman to enter men's arena , the first American Arab woman to be accurate.
I did not know about the Arab roots of Thomas except from very short time , also I did not know about
her opinions regarding the Middle East issues except very recently but these only increased my admiration for this old lady who is a bright wonderful example of women journalists everywhere.
You must know that Thomas is hated by GOPs , one of the morons in the Fox News called her the Evil Queen of the East in reference to the Wizard of Oz.
Helen Thomas asks Bush on why he went to Iraq
You must know that she asked Obama a question that he has answered yet.
Helen Thomas' question that Obama has not answered yet
You must know that Thomas has asked Gibbs about the exact date of when the American troops will return back from Afghanistan and their lack of condemnation to what happened to the flotilla
Helen Thomas mocks Gibbs over the Gaza flotilla
Thomas is not the first one that speaks about Palestine and the rights of Israel in it , there are Jew historians and also Israelis who believe that the current Israelis have no rights in Palestine with historical evidence so I do not know why there is a huge attack on Helen Thomas , may be because she is Helen Thomas there is so much attack on her.
She
issued an apology and has retired after decades of working admirably because she expressed her views freely according to the American constitution. Again there are Americans, Jews and even Israelis who believe that Israelis should get the hell out of Palestine :(
