Helen Thomas to be Honored by New Anti-Israel Group
Veteran White House reporter to be one of Move Over AIPAC’s keynote speakers. ‘Everybody is in pocket of Israeli lobbies, there’s total control,’ she says, while stressing she isn’t anti-Semitic
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming visit to Washington may not be the bed of roses he was expecting. In addition to his speech in front of the US congress and the vote of support he is set to receive from the Jewish lobby AIPAC, he will also likely to face a thornier welcome.
A number of US groups are organizing “Move Over AIPAC” – a meeting they say will expose “the extraordinary influence AIPAC has on US policy”. Among those behind the initiative – journalist Helen Thomas.
The “Move Over AIPAC” website is quite proud of 90 year-old Thomas’ connection to the initiative. Thomas, has become notorious after stating in an interview that Jews should get out of Palestine and go back to Poland and Germany.
