Helen Thomas

she couldn't help it when she said what she said she was just a mouth. a big o mouth in Washington a few words before you leave and those awful words came out But God gave me an awesome message while i thought it out. I have to send a message through someone with some clout someone they say is big enough and will not have to shout Oh Isreal, Remember how they treated you when you were over there? But since you have your country now you think it's fair? To come from out of Eygpt and through the wilderness. Shouldn't someone remind you "That's how they treated us?"

John ...Abrahamic religions are religions which share the patriarch Abraham in their religious lineage, although he plays different roles in different Abrahamic religions. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are all considered to be Abrahamic religions....so yes you ceratinly are more than welcome to write to one of those choices. Thanks for the blog comment!

Nice write, thought provoking! For me Israel has a divided soul. On the one hand, it is a very capitalistic country and on the other hand, its view is very liberal. I believe the latter is a consequence of the Holocaust; the former is its original character. Thanks for sharing, and thank you for your kind comments on my featured poem. Glad to meet you on Facebook. Caroline.

Helen is an icon in Washington and I love the way she always speaks her mind bluntly. You have created a masterful, thought-provoking tribute to Helen, John. Excellent writing! Love, Carolyn PS -- Get me some Eagles' tickets too!

If this is about what I think it is, yes, I remember when my brother was alive, he felt this way about Israel too. As for that poem of mine you commented on, it was completely made up, like many of my poems are. Never had a dark knight (maybe it would have been kind of cool!)
