Helen Thomas exposes herself in Playboy...

...as being just as ugly inside as she is on the outside:

Don't buy Playboy for this interview

Of course I don't condone any violence against anyone. But who wouldn't fight for their country? What would any American do if their land was being taken? Remember Pearl Harbor. The Palestinian violence is to protect what little remains of Palestine. The suicide bombers act out of despair and desperation. Three generations of Palestinians have been forced out of their homes – by Israelis – and into refugee camps."

Yes, she really compares terrorists blowing up an ice cream parlor filled with kids to Americans fighting in the Pacific in World War II.

And that's only a tiny part of this interview that exposes Thomas as a thoroughly despicable human being, and those who defend her as being hypocrites of the highest order.

UPDATE: Newsbusters actually wades through the interview. It is even worse than the PR Newswire link I posted. She makes it very, very clear she is anti-semitic.

When quoted a criticism she doesn't like, she automatically asks "Did a Jew write that"? Classic.
