http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2528501/postsHelen Thomas Raised Funds for Hamas Ally Code PinkSaturday, June 5, 2010 | KristinnPosted on Sat 05 Jun 2010 10:08:52 AM PST by kristinnHelen Thomas, the Hearst Newspaper columnist under fire for her remarks last week urging Jews to "get the hell out of" Israel and "go back to Germany," headlined a fundraiser for the terrorist support group Code Pink in the Fall of 2006.
Photos posted by Code Pink show Thomas receiving the group's "Bag of Courage" award at a fundraiser held at a Washington, D.C. restaurant on October 28, 2006.
Code Pink is a leader of the so-called Gaza Freedom Movement, the group behind the terror flotilla trying to break the blockade of Hamas-controlled Gaza.
Code Pink has led other efforts to weaken the blockade of the terrorist haven and has acted as a go-between from Hamas to Barack Obama.
Hamas guaranteed Code Pink's safety during the group's last trip to Gaza six months ago.
Contacted at the time of the Code Pink fundraiser, a spokesman for Hearst's D.C. bureau said that as a columnist Thomas was free to raise money for Code Pink. Hearst wasn't bothered that Code Pink had a history of supporting the terrorists in Iraq with cash and humanitarian aid.
