ADL slams Helen Thomas as ‘vulgar anti-Semite’

Helen Thomas doubled down on the controversial comments that led to the end of 
her long career during a speech yesterday to an Arab-American group in Dearborn, 
Mich., prompting a fierce condemnation by the Anti-Defamation League.

“I can call a president of the United States anything in the book, but I can’t 
touch Israel, which has Jewish-only roads in the West Bank,” Thomas said. “No 
Americans would tolerate that — white-only roads.”

“We are owned by the propagandists against the Arabs. There’s no question about 
that. Congress, the White House and Hollywood, Wall Street, are owned by the 
Zionists. No question in my opinion. They put their money where their mouth is. 
… We’re being pushed into a wrong direction in every way.”

ADL National Director Abe Foxman issued a statement urging all the journalistic 
institutions that have honored the former White House correspondent over the 
years to rescind those awards.

“Helen Thomas has clearly, unequivocally revealed herself as a vulgar 
anti-Semite,” Foxman said in a statement. “Her suggestion that Zionists control 
government, finance and Hollywood is nothing less than classic, garden-variety 
anti-Semitism. This is a sad final chapter to an otherwise illustrious career. 
Unlike her previous, spontaneous remarks into a camera, these words were 
carefully thought out and conscious. It shows a prejudice that is deep-seated 
and obsessive.”
