We want to start with saying this is in no way an anti semitic post but simply a look at the truth and the possibility that although unfortunate in her way of stating it, Helen Thomas simply spoke the truth. Historicaly Ms Thomas was present during many of the historical moments that led up to the formation of the New Israeli state. To begin, let us look at the facts as pointed out in Wikipedia:
1945–1947: Jewish uprising against British rule
“The Second World War left the surviving remnant of Jews in central Europe as displaced persons (refugees); a survey of their ambitions found that 97% wanted to migrate to Palestine. Many turned to the clandestine migration. A stream of small boats ensued, carrying stateless Jews to Palestine. The British took counter measures against the holocaust survivors and the organization helping them. This led to growing Jewish resistance to the British administration in Palestine.
Shortly after VE Day, the Labour Party won the elections in Britain. Although the Labour party conferences for years had called for the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine, the Labour Foreign Minister, Ernest Bevin, decided to maintain the 1939 White Paper restrictions. This was due to the continued importance of cordial Anglo-Arab relations to British strategic concerns throughout the region and their weakened empire. Britain governed Transjordan, Sudan, Kuwait, the Arab Emirates, Bahrain and the Yemen, and had treaties of alliance with Iraq and Egypt. At this time Jewish militias in Palestine, (the Haganah, ‘Etzel’ and Lehi) decided to form a unified Jewish Resistance Movement against the British.
In June 1946, following instances of sabotage and kidnapping, the British launched Operation Agatha in Palestine and arrested thousands of Jews, including the leadership of the Jewish Agency. They were held without trial.
Post-war pogroms in Eastern Europe, led to a wave of Jews seeking to escape Europe. In July 1946, after the Kielce Pogrom in Poland, the British government expected a massive wave of illegal migrants and decided to hold illegal Jewish immigrants to Palestine at Cyprus internment camps; migrants were imprisoned indefinitely and without trial. Those held were mostly Holocaust survivors including large numbers of children and orphans; the camps were funded by taxation of the Jewish community in Palestine. In response to Cypriot fears that the Jews would never leave (since they lacked a state or documentation) the administration subsequently began to release them at a rate of 750 per month, allowing those released to move to Palestine.
The unified resistance movement in Palestine split up in July 1946, after Irgun’s bombing of the British Military Headquarters, the King David Hotel bombing, which killed 92, mostly civilians. In the days following the bombing, Tel Aviv was placed under curfew and over 120,000, nearly 20% of the Jewish population of Palestine, were interrogated by CID.
The negative publicity generated by British attempts to halt Jewish migration to Palestine added to voices in US Congress delaying the Anglo-American loan which was vital to preventing bankruptcy of the British Empire . Fearing a parallel conflict with Britain’s Arab allies and subjects at a time when the Empire was severely weakened, the Labour Government decided to refer the Palestine problem to the United Nations.”
This is quite plain and obvious in it’s explanation. Regardless of the reason why the Jewish refugees did so they fled to (then Palestine) and began their occupation. It was for good reason they did so, obviously they were once again escaping what most of them saw as persecution.
Let us look further and see that it was teh UN who created the State of Israel for many reasons:
The United Nations decides to partition Palestine
“The UN appointed a committee to decide how to deal with Palestine, the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP). While the UNSCOP mission was visiting Palestine, in July 1947, Jewish and Zionist delegations met with the committee; the Arab Higher Committee boycotted the meetings. At this time, British Foreign Secretary Bevin ordered an illegal immigrant ship, the Exodus 1947, to be sent back to Europe. The migrants on the ship were forcibly removed by British troops at Hamburg after a long period in prison ships.
In July 1947 several Irgun fighters were executed in Acre Prison. The Irgun responded with execution of two British sergeants which triggered anti-semitic riots in Liverpool; these spread to other major British cities, including London, Manchester, Cardiff, Derby and Glasgow.
The principal non-Zionist Orthodox Jewish (or haredi) party, Agudat Israel, recommended to UNSCOP that a Jewish state be created after reaching a religious status quo agreement with Ben-Gurion regarding the future state. The agreement granted future exemption of yeshiva (religious seminary) students and orthodox women from military service, made the Sabbath the national weekend, promised Kosher food in government institutions and allowed them to maintain a separate education system.
In September 1947, one month after Partition of India, (UNSCOP) recommended partition in Palestine, a suggestion ratified by the UN General Assembly on November 29, 1947. The result envisaged the creation of two states, one Arab and one Jewish, with the city of Jerusalem to be under the direct administration of the United Nations.
The General Assembly resolution called upon Britain to evacuate a seaport and sufficient hinterland to support substantial Jewish migration, by February 1, 1948. Neither Britain nor the UN Security Council acted to implement the resolution and Britain continued imprisoning Jews attempting to migrate, in camps on Cyprus.
Concerned that partition would severely damage Anglo-Arab/Muslim relations, Britain refused to cooperate with the UN, denying the UN access to Palestine during the interim period (a requirement of the partition decision). Final evacuation was completed by May 1948. Britain continued to hold Jews of “fighting age” and their families on Cyprus even after leaving Palestine. They were eventually released in March 1949.
In 1946-47, the Dead Sea Scrolls were found by a Bedouin Shepherd, Muhammed edh-Dhib. On the day the UN voted to create a Jewish state, archaeologist Eleazar Sukenik identified the scrolls as authentic copies of the bible dating back to before the destruction of Judea. Sukenik bought three of the scrolls the following month.”
It is common knowledge that a larget percentag of displaced Jews were very eager to go to Palistine for many reasons, but one must ask, was it their intention to create the state that exists now between Jew and Pailtinian? Why has this occured and what is it that drives the State Of Israel? Mnay events have occured since those days and wars ahve been fought. How did it come to this between the Children Of Abraham once more? For further understanding one must look at the many sources of information to understand.
SS Exodus was a ship that carried Jewish emigrants, that left France on July 11, 1947, with the intent of taking its passengers to Mandate Palestine. It’s story is a must read.
A close look at Zionism is needed to understand the roots of all of this. Here is avery good site for information of the historical basis that led up to the fomration iof Israel as a state. The history of Zionism and the creation of Israel
The author suggestts that you do your own research and find out for yourself, was Ms Thomas wrong or just a bit gruff with the truth. Her comments were not too mush different than if someone were to say Americans should leave the United States and give it back to the Indians, is not the US an occupied nation for all practical purposes.One can only specuylate and think perhaps the truth hurts and for all the complaining about Ms Thomas comments by other people, in the words of Shakespear “Me thinks the Lady doth protest too much”
and last but not least here is Helen Thomas in her own words, watch this and you decide;

I was perusing my RSS reader and came across a site that had posted 2 commercials by MTV, professing the possibility of the coming Police State. I will just let the videos speak for themselves. It’s as if the collective mind is working. I ‘ve been saying it all along and now here it is. You’ve got to watch these to believe it.
and this one.
