1. if muslims aren't the enemy, who is?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.22.08)
what is the common denominator of all of the countries/groups currently advocating and participating in the attempted annihilation of israel? where does their justification come from? how do they themselves explain why they blow themselves up killing women, children, and elderly civilians? what do their pre-taped martyr messages claim as their sole reason and duty? which book do they quote as they incite jew killing? what do the terrorists scream when they commit the terror? one answer, and there's your enemy.
2. Peres: Muslims not our enemies
Andras Bereny ,   Kfar Tapuah, Ephraim   (02.22.08)
Peres: Muslims not our enemies Bereny: We are muslim's enemies
3. It's simple, Mike...
Khaled ,   Lebanon   (02.22.08)
All you said leads to a simple conclusion, and it's not that muslims are your enemy. It's that your enemies are muslim. And there's a big difference. Every enemy is a muslim is not the same as every muslim is an enemy... Kind of like saying every woman is a person means every person is a woman.
4. Same God?!
Sherry C. ,   Loves Park USA   (02.22.08)
Peres is another political leader who claims that Allah and the only true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are one and the same. He does not know his God!
5. PERES STILL TRYING TO DENY THE REALITY!!
Tom ,   San Francisco.   (02.22.08)
AND THE REALITY IS: that 99% of the Muslims around the world are anti-semitic and against Israel! That 1% like this Indian iman acts the way he did does not change the ugly reality of the hate that is nurtured further daily among the Muslims around the World. One example is the case of this French Jew who was viciously trapped and burnt alive by a "French" Muslim from the Ivory Coast who lived in France! Keep dreaming, Peres, and it will only worsen the situation because it will give the false hope that coexistence is possible in Israel among Jews and Muslims. The truth is that Israel, sooner than later, will have to tell the Muslims of Israel to go and invade another state and create another Muslim state somewhere else than in Israel!! That is the reality that Peres, the most Utopian man on earth, has denied so far.
6. Peres, you're a descendant of Rav Chaim Volozhiner zt"l
M.M.   (02.22.08)
ben-achar-ben (son-after-son). Rav Chaim Volozhiner zt”l was a great leader and his influence was much greater than today's leaders of the Israeli government. Shimon Persky (a.k.a. Shimon Peres), instead of flattering Muslims, you should return to your own roots and you'll find it much more rewarding and closer to heart. You should see to it that your holy ancestors are not embarrassed of you.
7. Will we get to see a photo of Peres with Rabbinical attire?
M.M.   (02.22.08)
A Baal Tshuva applies to a government official too. At any age. Better late than never.
8. #3
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (02.22.08)
You are right that Muslims are not inherently Israel's enemy. But due to the Oslo accords and the success of Saudi Arabia in exporting fanaticism to Lebanon, Turkey and Indonesia together with the revolution in Iran, the only uniting belief of Islam is genocide of the Jews. Any Muslim who does not support the genocide is murdered.
9. Peres- "Islamists not enemies"???
Brod ,   USA   (02.22.08)
Peres does not know what he is talking about.
10. This sounds a lot like the Knights TemplarCrusaders who gave
Rivkah   (02.22.08)
Jerusalem to the Turks long ago rather than to defend Jerusalem. It is speculated the reason was that the "Christian" Knights Templar Crusaders CONVERTED to Islam, so they would no longer defend Jerusalem. Then the French King under the guidance of the Roman Catholic Pope declared the Knights Templar renegades and many fled to Switzerland to set up banks with their vast fortunes. The Knights Templar went to other lands, too, and formed the Freemasons that have a lot of power in the world. At the Freemason Temple in Washington, D. C., the high level Freemasons swear on a KORAN, not a Bible. Many US Presidents and other world leaders have been 32 degree Masons. The red fez of the 32 degree Shriner Freemasons originated from Moslems dipping their caps in Christian and Jewish blood of people they killed. I suspect Mr. Perez is a Freemason and therefore an ally to Moslems. Ariel Sharon was reported to be a Freemason in the book by Texe Marrs called "Codex Magica". This is scary for a possible Freemason to be President of Israel, if that is what he is. When Poland outlawed Freemasons in Poland, they were attacked by Germany. It is dangerous to outlaw them and it is dangerous to have them in government since they serve a Masonic master and not the people.
11. Oh, give me a break!!
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (02.22.08)
Geeeez! I thought when they "gave" this old putz the President's job, he would have the elegance to shut the hell up. Can Israel ever have polititurds who have the good grace to know when to not make patently stupid pronouncements. Of course Islam are the enemies, sworn bitter enemies at that, of the Israel & the Jewish people. Grow up. No one believes such foolishness.
12. GUESS PERES IS GIVING TEL AVIV AS A GIFT
..............DACON9   (02.22.08)
13. To #1. Israel is your enemy???
john ,   bristow   (02.22.08)
Israel is our worst enemy. We need to rescue us from Israel which is painting a very bad picture of the jewish high stanfdards. Israel must reform it self to respect others and human values of others or sease to exixt...hard choices ahead.
14. Enough already Shimon! Ah!
(02.22.08)
15. Oh, Please, heres whats really going on...
JayMak84 ,   Downtown, Lebanon   (02.22.08)
From the pictures I have seen and from the words I have read I have reached 2 definitive, and very feasable explanations: 1.Either Peres has totally lost it, and cant tell the difference between Budist Indians and Muslim ones(weak eyesight) and has totally flipped from an overdose of Working in Politics .....ORRR 2.Peres thinks he wont make it(in his remaining lifetime) to the position of prime minister, and is trying to score another Nobel Peace Prize before he passes away...so that it is the last thing he is remembered with..... Islamists not the enemy??What do Binladen, Najjad, Hamas, Hezbolla, and Syria have in common???Are they all Budhist Monks?Peres wake up and sniff the pungent smell of Reality....
16. Calm down all you neurotics can't you see it?
Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (02.22.08)
Peres is out there doing PR. He's right Moslem's are not our enemies exactly. We need to work on strengthening our security, defeating all terrorists and allying ourselves with those moderate Moslems who are not out to steal Jewish land. It can be done. A secure Israel with normal dealings with the world's Moslems that respect us (yes sure maybe not Palestinian ones). Stop thinking so scared and "ghetto" they are not all out to get us. Come on, you know i speak wisdom... Shabbat Shalom ;-)
17. yes, they are!!!!
oded   (02.22.08)
18. Crazy Uncle Shimon
William ,   San Antonio, Texas   (02.22.08)
is at it again.!
19. Rivkah #10 Take some medication
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.22.08)
You are as bad as the Arabs inventing history to suit yourself. You do not know a single fact about Freemasonry. Including the fact that there is no Freenason Temple in Washington D.C. That edifice you think is a Freemason Temple belongs to Scottish Rite, not the Blue Lodge. Second only Muslims swear on the Koran. Jews use the Torah and Christians the Bible. The fez does not and never has represented anything like what you claim. Religion in the lodges is totally forbidden. And this I know as a proud Jew and 32nd Degree Mason.
20. Peres needs to ease off the meds
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (02.22.08)
21. 3 - prove it
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.22.08)
what are you going to do to prove it? the silence is deafening from your supposed peaceful muslims. where are they? why won't they do anything? why? how can i believe a single guy from lebanon when hundreds of millions say and do otherwise. how?
22. Peres's complete quote reads...
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (02.22.08)
"..Muslims are not our enemies, we just hate you anyway.."
23. Feeling very sorry for the ill-informed...
Ibrahim ,   Turkey   (02.23.08)
If the world's 1.6 billion muslims are your enemy as stated by a majority of hatred blurting idiots on this forum, why is the State of Israel, courting the Turkish Republic? Why does IAF pilots and IDF soldiers train on muslim (Turkish) soil then? Why is it that the Turkish Republic was one of the first countries to recognize the sovereignty of the State of Israel? Why did an Islamic Empire such as the Imperial Ottomans run to the aid of the Shephardic Jewish population in Spain? Why did the Turkish diplomat on the Island of Rhodes, during WWII risk his own families life to save the local jewish population? I believe that some dogmatic individuals cannot properly differentiate between friend and foe. They like to choose the easy route and point the finger at religion? But why? Could it be that some circles would like to see a Jewish-Muslim clash... Who will gain from this is the better question to ask...Wake up my jewish brothers and sisters!
24. To #3- Every Muslim is an enemy
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (02.23.08)
22 Muslim states, all hostile to us. Even those we have "peace" agreements with bombard us with daily accusations and insults and help fund the terrorists. "moderate" Muslim states? Name one that doesn't still push for the extermination of the Jews.
25. 19 Gee: Read Dr. JohnAnkerberg's booklet on the Freemasons.
(02.23.08)
You are in danger of eternal judgment and you need to see how far removed from the Bible and the Torah Freemasonry is. You are totally deceived and need to also read the chapters on Freemasons in Texe Marrs' book, "Codex Magica". Rivkah
26. How did Islam penetrate our societies ?
Jean Van Daem ,   Metula   (02.23.08)
Before 9/11 Muslim terrorists were building global networks again under the American and European radar. We had other things to consider like pacifying Mideast potentates for the oil under their sands. It didn't matter that countries like Saudi Arabia were spreading Wahhabiism (strict Shariah Islam) which taught Muslim children that Islam is not only superior to all other religions but, one day Islam would eliminate these "false" religions under "Shariah" law and Islam would dominate the world. These children grew up and became brainwashed like "Manchurian candidates". They filtered into other countries with the help of foreign services of the West - like the U.S. State Department. Each of the Western nations had their own foreign services who allowed Muslims to flood into their nation even to the point of subsidizing their housing, education, medical care and much more. Nothing was withheld to pacify the Muslim Arabs because they had oil under their feet. So our American Universities are clogged with Arab Muslim "students", opting for classes in Nuclear Physics, Chemistry and Biology - all of which would eventually benefit the military terrorist organizations in their country of origin. Colleges are building foot-baths for Muslims to wash their feet before they pray - a minor concession as described at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2007/12/long-before-911-long-before-1948.html
27. jews are not the enemy of moslemes
seham ,   jerusalem   (02.23.08)
but israil is the enemy of moslemes and in many posts they do not diferantiate between israil and the jews but moslemes do /// and america is the enemy of arab but not the christinity // so i think jews do the religion enemy not others // it is from the start as judism is the first religion from the same god // but they do not beliefe this even this peres // and jews kidding not the moslems but they kidding the only god //oooohhhhhhh
28. Rivka nr. 10
leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (02.23.08)
What's she smoking ?
29. #23-Explain why Turkey is THE exception
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (02.23.08)
While we appreciate the growing strengths between Israel and Turkey, one need only review the news as to the actions of the other 22 Muslim states. Turkey remains a mainly secular state with the Imams NOT in control. Every other Muslim state, and by definition the vast majority of Muslims, have actively spoken out for our destruction. From the Saudi and Syrian terror bases, open hostility from our "peace partner" Egypt, to Indonesia beyond, and to Kuwait and Iraq, our demise is headlined and sought out! While your comments and show of support is heartening, how do you export that to the vast majority?
30. To #10-Rivkah sharing Peres' medication?
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (02.23.08)
While I believe Peres should be cast aside for the bumbling and self-absorbing idiot he always was, you really need to lay off the drugs. It seems to have debilitated your senses
