Young Israelis will pay in blood for it.

B"H I can see it now. An Arab murders a Jew. Then Peres releases him to murder another Jew (like has happened so often in the past with a prisoner release) because he is a poor prisoner. He is president so he can pardon anyone. He rides in on accusations of sexual harrasment in the media or maybe something other charge that is not formal. And it leads to the deaths of more Jews, his revolving door. Is this not a worse situation than the present course? Why support this guy? I could guess because the some of the disengagement protest people are in prison without pardon or even charges fully pressed in court, that answers it. It would better support an agenda. I am holding Katsav not proven guilty and I am not looking forward to any better replacement from this avenue.

Than Pollard's and Shillat and the OTHERS WHERE ARE THEY!?!??!?!?!

HEAVEN FORBID he become Israel's president. No wonder he's known as the "Loser".

a prsident !!

G-d forbid that Peres gets selected for President of the State of Israel. He sold out the country in Norway, and if he has his way he will do his utmost to totally destroy Israel.

Palestsinian prisoners, that's who...

Peeres, why not just hand your ass over on a silver platter...have you no shame.? Bargouti will thankyou you for your cringing placation of evil incarnate w/ a knife in your back. You will be complicit in the certain deaths of innocent Israelis that will surely follow upon Bargouti's release.

Platic explosives---maps---pictures of what a Jew looks like. GPS systems for tracking new Jewish targets. We need more prisoners released!

I WILL FREE TH EPRISIONERS AND HAVE A ' '''NEW MIDDLE EAST''' THATS SUPPOSE TO IMPRESS THE STUPID PEOPLE BUT THE SMART KNOW ... HE HAS HIS TRACK RECORDS.... THE ARABS HAVE THEIR TRACK RECORD

Bow and Surrender - don't waste any more of your supporters time, just go do it! Israel is not a 'Failed State', it's a 'Failed People'! NO BALLS!

The very notion that Peres is still in Israeli politics and allowed to keep talking is an indictment on the israeli people

if my son was being held for randsom for prisoners i would release el salm ben laden if i had to second the prisoners that are being held have not had trials and are not accused of terror crimes. i dont like peres very much but i want the soldiers back.

dear shimon will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to become president. My advice - go to an old age home and run for president there,

to explain why he lost the race for presidentship. Indeed, I couldn't imagine more provocative claim than promise to free Barghuti. Run, Shimon, run!...

shimon peres has been worse than nasralah and arafat put together.he is a cancer to israels future.GOD HELP US ENOUGH WITH THOSE FOOLS IN A GOVERMENT

Peres go home, you are a danger to all of us. We don't want to see or hear you again. GO HOME NOW!

how many more jews does he have to kill? wasnt oslo enough?

Don't get so excited. He'll start with Omri Sharon (if he ever serves the sentence he received), then he'll free the establishment lawyer sentenced to 15 months this morning for slaughtering a mother and her child by ploughing into their car at traffic lights. He'll then free any members of Shas who are still languishing in jail and finally, grant pardons to Tsachi Hanegbi and all the other MKs and ex MKs whose day in court awaits them. By the way, is Naomi Blumenthal in the clink yet?

20 talkbacks and all negative.doesnt anyone have akind word for the man who helped build Israel? no decent chevra kadisha would bury him without one nice comment about our Shimon.

This guy will never face reality. His delusions that peace will come when Palestinians have economic parity and their own state have proven to be both false and dangerous. What's it called when someone keeps doing the same thing over and over again expecting to get different results? How can we get this guy to retire?

don't worry, Uncle Shimmy Loser who wants to be president Peres will never win. I think at his bris the Mohel named him Luzer not Shimon! When has Shimon Luzer Peres ever won a position other than through the death of someone?

By "why not", I do not aim at the act of joking, but why not provide them with arms & training ? You will get strong rivals that will prevent Israel from unjust behaving, and will make them able to restrain their people from attacking Israel. You see peace shall prevail . Thank you for the idea.

please do not keep dissapointing me - it's time you dissapeared once and for good

if the blind lead the blind, both fall into a ditch.
