Hamas Pines For ‘Pioneer’ Helen Thomas...

Hamas pines for ‘pioneer’ Helen Thomas: ‘We respect you’
Monday, July 22, 2013 > The military wing of Hamas posted on its website a tribute to noted White House reporter Helen Thomas, who died Saturday: “Rest in peace, Helen Thomas.”

Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades members added, “We respect you for taking a stand.” The tribute, reported by The Blaze, also included a photo of Ms. Thomas with the reference of “pioneer journalist.”

Hamas also posted an article from Al Jazeera that touted Ms. Thomas‘ accomplishments. One such was “her disdain for White House secrecy and dodging, [which] spanned five decades, back to President John F. Kennedy.”

Ms. Thomas‘ lengthy White House reporting career with United Press International and Hearst was tainted toward the end with 2010 comments she made in Washington. While leaving an American Jewish Heritage Celebration Day at the White House, she was asked to comment on Israel. Her widely reported reply: “Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine.”

Hamas, which has controlled the Gaza Strip since 2007, feels similarly. The group’s founding mission in the late 1980s was to establish a Palestinian nation based on pre-1967 borders.

CAIR: Helen Thomas 'Will Be Fondly Remembered by the Muslim Community'
July 22, 2013 -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) offered condolences on the death of Helen Thomas, saying she will be "fondly remembered by the American Muslim community."

Thomas, who died on Saturday at the age of 92, was the first female member of the White House press corps. She covered the White House from 1960 until 2010, when she resigned after making anti-Semitic remarks. "We offer sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of Helen Thomas, whose pioneering work helped shape the profession of journalism," CAIR said in a statement Sunday. "She will be fondly remembered by the American Muslim community and by all those who value a free press and transparent governance," they said.

Thomas was a fixture at the White House for decades, covering every president from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Barack Obama. In May 2010 a viral video cost Thomas her position when she said Israeli Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine."

At a White House celebration for American Jewish Heritage Month, Thomas was asked by RabbiLive.com if she had any “comments on Israel.”

“Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine," Thomas said. "Remember, these people are occupied, and it’s their land.” Thomas then suggested that Jewish people "go home" to “Poland, Germany,” “and America, and everywhere else.”
