BETHESDA, Md. (6/07/10) – A high school graduation speech by veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas has been canceled because of controversial remarks she made about Israel, the school's principal said in an e-mail Sunday.
Thomas had been scheduled to speak at the June 14 graduation of Walt Whitman High School, but Principal Alan Goodwin wrote in the e-mail to students and parents that she was being replaced. The school in the Washington suburb of Bethesda, Md., hasn't picked a new speaker.
"Graduation celebrations are not the venue for divisiveness," Goodwin wrote.
Thomas, a columnist for Hearst Newspapers, issued an apology on her Web site on Friday for comments that were captured on video by an interviewer for the website http://www.rabbilive.com. On the video dated May 27, Thomas says Israelis should "get the hell out of Palestine," suggesting they go to Germany, Poland or the U.S.
"I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians," Thomas wrote on her site on Friday. "They do not reflect my heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon."
The national director of the Anti-Defamation League, Abraham H. Foxman, said Sunday that Thomas' apology didn't go far enough.
"Her suggestion that Israelis should go back to Poland and Germany is bigoted and shows a profound ignorance of history," Foxman said in a statement. "We believe Thomas needs to make a more forceful and sincere apology for the pain her remarks have caused."
Thomas, 89, began her long career with the wire service United Press International in 1943, and started covering the White House in 1960, according to a biography posted on her website. She became a columnist for Hearst in 2000.
==============================
No apology is necessary from this hag. She said exactly what she believed. She's an ignorant fool.
-
Yes, she should die already... What is she going to do? Nobody expects her to really give a sincere apology anyway...
-
I'm glad her speech was cancelled. She should be ostracized.
-
I can't believe it. Gehenom has frozen over. A public educational establishment has actually limited Nazi anti-Semitic speech.
-
PS: "Rabbi" Abraham Foxman should get terminal cancer before Helen Thomas. He's much more evil.

Shitler was much more beautiful than this swamp hag that has been dead for 200 years and brought back to life from some sick act of sorcery.

Steam out the wrinkles in that crooked excuse for a face.
If Helen Thomas wanted to lose 10 flabby pounds quickly all she needs to do is cut off her ugly head.

Good for this school. May it be a wave of things to come!

She look like queen of gehinom with [censored] her king

The reason why they cancelled the speech is because they realized how ugly she really is.
