...Three months ago, Thomas, aged 91, granted an interview to CNN, her first after a long period of silence following the events that caused the embarrassing end to her career. She did not repeat her previous comments, though she blamed the Zionist lobby in Washington for distorting her comments.

“Everything is distorted, but I don’t care,” said Thomas. “You have organized lobbyists in favor of Israel. You can’t open your mouth. I can call the president of the U.S. anything in the book, but you say one thing about Israel and you’re off limits.” 

When asked if she had any regrets, Thomas explained, “I have regrets that everybody has misinterpreted it, and distorted it. You have [former White House Press Secretary] Ari Fleischer and [President of the Anti-Defamation League] Abe Foxman distorting everything.”
