I found this at The Corner on NRO. It’s an update to Helen Thomas getting the boot from her speaker’s agency:

UPDATE: Passed along by a reader, Thomas has also been uninvited from speaking a high school commencement:

Journalist Helen Thomas was scheduled to be the graduation speaker at Walt Whitman High School later this month — until Sunday, when she was disinvited after comments that she made about Israel and Palestine made many in the community uncomfortable, Montgomery Board of Education President Patricia O’Neill said Sunday.

“We became aware that there are some unfortunate comments from her that are airing on YouTube,” O’Neill said. O’Neill said that especially given the large Jewish population at Whitman, the school was not comfortable with having Thomas speak at the graduation on June 14.

A video of Thomas that says it was filmed at the White House on May 27 shows her telling Israelis “to get the hell out of Palestine… it’s not German and it’s not Poland.” When asked where Israelis should go, she said, “Go home!… Poland, Germany… and America, and everywhere else.”
