Helen Thomas resigned recently as the age-old and maxi-professional of White House news correspondency. She was a fixture in the WH for years on end and covered ten Presidents. In a statement she made recently concerning Israel and Palestine, it was quoted by a Rabbi who questioned Helen on her viewpoints on Israeli/Palestinian relations. Helen said in essence, that Israel should get out of Palestine and mind their own business; more was officially said and quoted; Helen was harsh on Israel. Maybe rightly so, I think.

She told what is in the hearts and minds of millions, and whether or not Israel-followers are concerned, they best wake up to the facts what Israel may actually be to the world order. Just as the US advocates Israel, is one large aspect for terrorist acts against the US; for one country. Can Israel do anything it wants to?

When you get to be 90 years old such as Helen Thomas is, like me at 67 years old now, you say what is on your mind because of many reasons - and life's education is one reason. Go ahead and say it...if people are too soft and vulnerable to opinion, that is just too bad...maybe Helen Thomas' thought process works this way.

Too bad and sorry (Helen) for your termination turned to resignation from Hearst or whoever you worked for. We need more of your kind! We need less know-nothing Liberal "US Press Secretaries" to denounce professionalism in journalism no matter if it is spoken or written! ~ J T Jackie King
