1. PERES ACT INOCENT.
MIKE VAN HARRIS ,   ANTWERP BELGIUM   (03.20.09)
PERES IS A WAR CRIMENAL, DO YOU THINK THAT THE PERSIAN PEOPLE ARE FOOLS TO FALL FOR YOU. WHY DONT YOU GIVE THE PALISTINIAN PEOPLE THERE RIGHTS, SO THE PEOPLE WILL LIVE IN PEACE IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD.
2. hahahahaahaaay LOOK WHO'S TALKING ...THE CRIMENAL Peres !

GZLives   (03.20.09)
WHERE THEY COME FROM
4. Obama isn't going to war to save your hide
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (03.20.09)
so make peace with Iran because you are on your own. If by enlightenment you mean the illegal occupation and siege plus the collective punishment, coupled with trial by missile on unarmed civilians as well as bombing them with white phosphorus and cluster bombs, then Iran need not be in any hurry to join you the enlightened ones.

6. Peres and his stupidity
Irani ,   Tehran   (03.20.09)
Mr. President You are an Idiot. You know what is good for Iranians the way you know what is good for Palestinians. Such arrogant words from a mouse, a low life and a war criminal. What about you looking at your country with grief. Your soldiers commit genocide, your president rapes and your prime minster is a thief. And I will not talk about Nathanyahoo and his wife, in his old days as the prime minster, or Barak or Livni. Your problem is that you think people in Iran are suckers, just like those in the west, who pay for your wars, fight and die for you.
7. What are you talking about, #1, Mike?
John ,   Europe   (03.20.09)
Palestinian people who are on ISRAELI territories have their rights as normal citizens. Palestinian people on non-Israel territories - Gaza, West Bank - are on occupied territories and have some rights suspended due to the international law. When they stop killing and abducting, they will get the state. Until then - when you talk barrel of a gun, the only person who would talk to you is another barrel of a gun. When they calm down and show that they can sustain a state without attacking Israel to cover up their inability to deal with every sovereign state's problems, they will get that state. No Marzel and other loonies could do a sqat thing if Palestinians would act as Ghandians. But until they shoot, Israel will shoot back. Sorry.
8. spare us the crap
iranian   (03.20.09)
the reason many iranian kids arent eating a healthy breakfast is because our jewish 'friends' and their lobby has pushed so hard for the sanctions. So, Peres, just spare us and yourself the bull****.
9. What a waste of breath
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (03.20.09)
Does anyone seriously believe that this broadcast will ever be aired in Iran?
10. Playing the nationalistic card... NIce shot
Ak ,   Bahrain   (03.20.09)
11. peres and israel should shut up and go to bomb Iran ASAP !
(03.20.09)
12. INTERESTING,VERY INTERESTIN INDEED
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (03.20.09)
That even the leaders feel the need to appeal to the people.Whom,for instance,does he exclude,when appealing? These are acts of God if looked at closely.
13. #7 what a big liar !!! is it the international low or the
(03.20.09)
illegal occupation?
14. Peres, Sure Iranians will listen to you when...
Eric ,   JHB SA   (03.20.09)
1.you and your regime will stop killing civilians and committing war crimes against the innocent women and children. 2. you and your regime will stop staving the children of Gaza by the inhuman blockade, denying the Palestinians even the basics for survival. 3. you and your regime stop the destruction of property and confiscation of land from the Palestinians to build your illegal settlements. 4. you and your regime treat the Palestinian people with respect and dignity and give them their rights that you deny them. Until you and your regime will treat the Palestinians as human beings with the same rights that you demand for yourselves, you cannot be called enlightened but will be recognised as the scum of the earth, not only by the enlightened Iranian people but by the entire international community.
15. Appealing to the IRANIANS!!!
hakim ,   usa   (03.20.09)
America is finally coming to her senses and Israel lost all her senses...# 1 Mike they will give the Palestinians their rights but the question is will the Palestinians give Israel her rights?? What goes up must come DOWN...
16. He speaks the truth
Robert ,   Vancouver   (03.20.09)
All you morons out there who are so anti Israel WAKE UP Put Isralies on one side and put all the radical Islamics on the other side Who the f--- do you want to live with????
17. So, Lydia, out of curiosity
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (03.20.09)
How do you justify Hamas' launching of missiles against unarmed Israeli civilians? Huh? The saddest thing about your comments generally, Lydia, is that you actually believe them. That makes you abysmally uninformed, not to mention anti-Semitic to the max. Which is why no one pays you much attention. P.S. If Israel goes up against Iran -- and it is increasingly becoming apparent that this is very likely to happen, it won't be conventional, sweetie. It will be ICBMs, fired from a very safe distance. Rest assured. And don't worry about Israel going it alone. We're used to that, and anyone else will just get in our way.
18. Two President Peres' misapprehensions
Steve   (03.20.09)
President Peres clings to the notion (or fantasy?) that modernity, agriculture, scientific and medical developments, etc., will usher in a era of peace and harmony between Jews and Muslims in the region. This is an idol; a false conception. The Iranian people are a deeply religious people by and large; which leads to Mr. Peres' second misapprehension. Because Iranian people are a deeply religious people and Islam brooks that no Jewish state or "entity" exist on what is considered by Islam to be historic Muslim land - since at one time 'Palestine' had been conquered by Islam - the Iranian people not only support the leaders of Iran, they also support their leader's desire to annihilate the Zionist "entity." Living in the real wold is far better than entertaining fantasies of peaceful coexistence - Muslims and Jews - on a co-equal basis. Should Israel continue down this road, this fantasy, Israel will suffer greatly at the hands of her enemies.
19. rabin and peres
marcel   (03.20.09)
Rabin always was reluctant about Peres and for good reason. Peres was wrong about oslo, wrong about iraqi nuclear station, wrong about arafat, wrong about gaza withdrawal, wrong to think he can ask iran to change by words alone. He means well but he, like Olmert is wrong about almost everything. At least he defended israel valiantly before Mr. emotion -erdogan in davos,whereas olmert kissed his ass and actually committed to withdrawing from the golan out of fear of offending his hosts. Now we have Bibi who is not comfortable in his own skin and needs barak when he has a better general in yaalon. And Lieberman wants to entrust Israel in the hands of a strategic partner russia which is selling nuclear and s-300 to iran. What a putz!There will be new elections down the road. Bibi is a UN ambassador or foreign secretary but not a PM. He is too insecure and uncertain.Feiglin has conviction and would bring about shalit's release or there will lots of dead bodies in gaza, lots of them.
20. #6 You sad little man
usa   (03.20.09)
"Your problem is that you think people in Iran are suckers, just like those in the west, who pay for your wars, fight and die for you." We're not suckers in the West, either, Mr. Irani from Tehran. We know your leaders for the meddling, deceptive, devious, cunning corrupt humans that they are. Those who mistake our tolerance and restraint for weakness do so at their peril. And just to clarify: The only ones who fight and die for the Israelis are the Israelis. You are so covered in your own bulls*** as to believe your own lies; is it any wonder you're incapable of noticing that you don't smell like Chanel No. 5?
21. Israelis of all walks of life stand behind Peres's appeal.
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.20.09)
The question, will the Iranian people hear us, appreciate Peres's appeal and internalize it so as to avoid a catastroph.....??
22. What Does Mr.Peres Mean?
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (03.20.09)
"children can't be fed enriched uranium for breakfast?" I have been eating uranium flakes ,instead of cornflakes ,for years.They are very tasty and nutritious,especially with milk and sugar.I have no adverse side effects,save for some hair loss but that could just be a receding hairline.
23. Thank You For The Wonderful Message
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (03.20.09)
Mr. President.It was truly moving and profound.Now,please tell it to those who could give a damn.
24. Opinion of Peres is IRRELEVANT.
The 11th Man ,   London   (03.20.09)
You people who are so bitter toward Peres will be singing a different song when the monkey leader of Iran precipitates a nuclear holocaust which may engulf the entire world. Can't you see what is before your eyes? The monkey man actually believes that it's his role to bring on the horrors of the endtimes which will supposedly usher in the Mahdi! Chaos. Death. Destruction. What you think of Peres is irrelevant. And, for your information, the G-d of Israel/Entire World will have the final say in all this.
25. Iran has already claimed its"Noble Place" Despite Israel and
RJBH ,   Methil   (03.20.09)
The US Jewish Lobby... Peres ... where have you been?.. Like a Rip Ran Wrinkle.. Iran has out played Israel at every level.
26. Thanks to all of the great people of Israel
samy ,   tehran,Iran   (03.20.09)

28. No one-way street
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (03.20.09)
What about Israel´s bombs? And Israel did not hesitate to use it´s bombs on civilians in the Gaza.
29. Dear Mr.President,Begging Is So
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (03.20.09)
unbecoming and undignified.Do not beg,sell matches instead.
30. IRAN
GERMANO ,   VENEZUELA   (03.20.09)
