Amnon Levy sez: "Mother Peretz ... ... seems to me to be the mother Alterman wrote about, the woman who will look out for her son's real needs and will stand up to the army's professional generals." Attila Somfalvi sez: Amir Peretz can expect some difficult days ahead, in a party well practiced in driving party chairmen into the ground. Ron sez: Somebody said being a mother is what you do in your spare time ... Peretz just discovered that when you’re a mother, you’re a mother ALL the time.

inevitably leads to stupidity, this man is not only arrogant but he has an inferiority complex, apart from a cadre of sycophants who will accompany him through thick and thin he will distance people from him by his behaviour and his off the cuff utterances which are most derogatory. People will desert him and a wall will slowly arise between himself and those that he should be working with. His downfall is inevitable and I shall be the first to celebrate, he is the wrong man, in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Peretz is a textbook example of this psychological concept.
