Professor For arabs and europeans prof Yoram Péri is a jew before to be an israeli or a "multicultural post modernist" person... How can i known that ? because in France now Fabius (a ex prime minister with leftist views) is viewed even in left wing circles as.... a jew. You can hide or say anything for most of non jews you are a jew in disguise ( ask them you will see). Believe me i am a secular jew in diaspora who live in a country which is the dream of Peri... If you want a country like france come in france, you will see your "dream" !!! Why do you think that many secular french jews come to Israel, that many secular jewish people bring their children to jewish schools ? Calm down your hate and realise that religious jews are your brothers.

"The fact that the first tried hard to create peace with the Palestinians while the second wanted to transfer them out of Israel is irrelevant." As far as I understand from the writings of the author and the attitude of the leftists, peace should be obtained by creating another Arab state just for Arabs with no Jews whereas Arabs should also be allowed to live in the 'Jewish' state. Is this justice? Has this to do with peace? I do not think so!

Yoram Perry was a spokesperson for the Israel Labor Party, a political advisor to Rabin, and president of the New Israel Fund! See http://cosmicx.blogspot.com/2005/11/rabinfest-2005-at-jerusalem-post.html

Firstly, the Arab enemy will not agree to any borders - they want to kill us all. Secondly, there are many countries in the world without agreed upon borders -INDIA PAKISTAN CYPRUS MOLDOVA GEORGIA ARMENIA CHINA. So what is this fool talking about?

be remembered and honoured. but first the common point between these two men: They loved Israel and they fought for the establishment and the defense of the state of Israel and later they dedicated their political lives to improving Israel. Later in their lives - Both men developed different political perspectives and yet in his comments from the podium of the Knesset Mr. Zeevi, z"l, in remembering Mr. Rabin, z"l called the later "My Teacher". What do we learn from this? We learn from this that although they had different political points of view both men placed love of and loyalty to Israel as the highest value. They placed understanding of fellow Israelis even those with different perspectives above all. They understood what we have forgotten. Alas today most of us speak from a very different perspective...we speak from the perspective of hatred of brother and sister, of hatred of fellow Israeli and then of hatred of Palestinian and only rarely out of love of Israel. We have forgotten what our highest value should be...our highest value should be defense of Israel from love for her. Mr. Rabin, was a great leader of Israel -- so great that he was elected by the majority of the people twice to serve as the nation's Prime Minister. and yet out of pure hatred, one Jewish religious man decided that he would not only destroy an entire universe by murdering Mr. Rabin, z"l, the individual, not only to violate the Law of God (though shalt not murder) but also to desrespect the will of the people of the State of Israel - this lone Jewish assassin robbed the House of Israel's right to express it's will. Mr. Ze'evi had a different greatness -- his greatness was that he was a good human being who came to believe in a different way, yet he awlays sought to function within the rules and laws of the State of Israel. It is very sad indeed that he was also murdered. For somewhere in the different ways of life of that these two men chose was the reasonable and responsible solution to the existential issue that Israel still faces. It is a great pity that each was taken from us in such a vile and violent manner. May their memories be for a blessing.
