The veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas is under fire for comments on the Israel-Palestine conflict. In a brief video interview with the website RabbiLive.com, Thomas said her message to Israelis is to “get the hell out of Palestine.” Thomas also suggested Israeli Jews should return to Poland, Germany or the United States. In a statement, Thomas said she “deeply regrets” her remarks, adding, “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.” Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, who served under President George W. Bush, is calling on Thomas’s employer, Hearst Newspapers, to fire her. And former White House special counsel Lanny Davis, who served under President Bill Clinton, says the White House should revoke her press credentials. The eighty-nine-year-old Thomas has covered every US president dating back to John F. Kennedy.
