Sean Delonas’ brilliant Page Six cartoon (June 8) depicts, better than a 1,000-word essay could, the true sentiments animating Helen Thomas’ fourdecade journalistic jihad against Israel. The familiar excuses for Thomas’ hateful attacks against the Mideast’s only democratic state — that she merely opposed Zionism or West Bank settlers — were blown apart by her ignorant and historically inaccurate tirade against Israel and Jews.
