FWIW, from Wikipedo:
Quote:Thomas was born in Winchester, Kentucky. Her parents, George Thomas and Mary (née Rowady), were Lebanese immigrants from Tripoli, Lebanon; her father's surname had originally been "Antonious" before being anglicized to Thomas at Ellis Island. Thomas was raised as a Christian in the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch. She was the seventh of nine children and grew up in Detroit, Michigan. Thomas attended Wayne University (now Wayne State University), graduating with a bachelor's degree in English in 1942. ...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Thomas
At the July 18, 2006, White House press briefing, Thomas remarked, "The United States is not that helpless. It could have stopped the bombardment of Lebanon. We have that much control with the Israelis... we have gone for collective punishment against all of Lebanon and Palestine." Press Secretary Tony Snow responded, "Thank you for the Hezbollah view."
