31. PERES IS RIGHT!! WE must arm the murderers of our babies.
In the name of peace   (07.16.07)
pERES IS RIGHT!! WE must arm the murderers of our babies. If we want peace, we must arm our enemies.
32. Peres will represent everybody in Israel
Nora ,   Tel aviv   (07.16.07)
as long as they are pro-Oslo.
33. Barnea's ineptitude
Ilan ,   Ariel   (07.16.07)
I've never seen so much BS. Peres should be immune from criticism because he has some positve achievements?? And Barnea is known for giving praise to Netanyahu?? BS. I would be happy if Peres didn't give out a single pardon. The role of setting punishments should be apolitical, but as the release of terrorists this coming Friday shows, it has become a norm for our sick and demented country. Release Jews would be just, but it still doesn't make the practice of poltical pardons an acceptable practice. Barnea can window dress his crap any way he wants. He and his opinions remain worthless.
34. Thanks for all the death!
Jameel ,   London   (07.16.07)
Mr. President, We have so much to thank you for! The terrorists who you invited into our backyards. The weapons, money and international recognition you gave the terrorist regime. The blind eye policy of ignoring every single Palestinian injustice. The freeing of terrorists who went on to kill again and again. For all this, Nachum Barnea thanks you. I saw, Dayeinu. Enough. Let the rest of the world thank you. From me -- you have only my disdain and contempt.
35. You forgot Peres's words of ingratitude
Steve ,   USA   (07.16.07)
B"H What went around simply came around. The residents of Judea and Sumaria were no more ingrations than Shimon's speech.
36. C'mon guys, lighten up. This article was a satire. Right?
eliyahu   (07.16.07)
I mean, no one could really believe this guys twisted thinking. Giving Peres credit for settlements??!! Sharon also established settlements. But just because your buddy wines and dines your sister doesn't mean you should thank him after he ties her up and brutally rapes her. C'mon. Olmert, Ramon, Peres, Peretz, Mazuz. These guys are so crooked it's hilarious to watch! The only crazier thing would be to defend them. With the justice system we have, the press, the politicians that won't go away, made up government posts for politicians that are no longer electable, parties that are more than fifty percent indicted, I don't worry. Israel is not going to exist in ten years.
37. Oslo's failures he won't mention are 1500 dead Israelis
Matt ,   UK   (07.16.07)
38. Gratitude Based On Consistency.
David ,   Jerusalem   (07.17.07)
His views are not consistent with what they were when he was helping the settlement enterprise. He's done a complete about face. They owe him nothing - he's the one who abandoned them.
39. what a load of BS
Yisraeli   (07.17.07)
I cant believe reading this entire tripe is worthy of printing, as mentioned before what spin. Only 95% of the country loathes this man Peres, they know and see him for what he is and Barnea comes up with all this garbage amazing truly amazing what a potz.
40. #21---No name
ER ,   Canada   (07.17.07)
Is that the best your bible codes could come up with? RABIN TRAITOR FIRE FIRE. How many other unintelligible words were also associated that you forgot to mention? Give me a break, those sorts of bible codes have been discredited years ago!

Equidistant letter Sequencing Codes or ELS Bible codes are accurate, then Hashem tells you in the ELS codes Rabin was a traitor. The ELS codes say about Ariel Sharon "HASHEM LOVES A(riel) SHARON". The ELS codes say Shimon Peres was chosen for President by Hashem because of his strength. Israel has the greatest code scholars and you can get the computer program "Unlocking the Bible Codes" from Israel at dokonet.com. Teh scholars at www.biblecodedigest.com found the codes on Rabin. They did not say WHY Hashem considered Rabin was a traitor, only that he was. When you go to heaven, you can ask Hashem. To give you an example of how profound the ELS codes are, the names of Hitler and his ten lieutenants are encoded in the surface text of the book of Esther in the part about Haman and his ten sons being hung. Many people do not understand why Hashem loves Ariel Sharon and things Shimon Peres is the strongest man in Israel for the job of President. I cannot tell you why. I can only tell you what is in the ELS codes that I know of. It is your choice to believe or not to believe.
42. Thanks?????
OS   (07.17.07)
Peres has done many good things and no doubt helped many settlements - that is until he decided that the settlements don't need to exist - and with that he threw thousands of people out of their homes and is willing and planning to throw tens of thousands more out of their homes. With that attitude - the man who "did so much" to build this country may as well have us all pack our bags, leave, and close the door. No - we don't need him, are not ungrateful, and pray that he keeps his big mouth shut.
43. 42...Israel will be destroyed from within by PALS in the...
(07.17.07)
government betraying secrets like the Arab MK's who went to Syria and should lose their Israeli citizenship. That is, unless Israel goes back to being a Jewish state and gives up the settlements, or some of them. APALS in Israel are like a trojan horse filled with enemies. When the Arabs in the Knesset have succeeded in destroying Israel from within, where will Jews go? The costs of defending the settlers was too great and the settlers chose not to bear the costs themselves. If you would look at resettlement from a Bible Prophecy perspective, you would see that the very lives of the Jews in Gaza were spared by withdrawing from the settlements. The Prophet Zephaniah saw long ago that Hashem would kill every Philistine (Palestinian) in the coasts of Canaan (Gaza) after Ashkelon, Ashdod, and Ekron are attacked. Zephaniah did NOT see Jews die there (because the Jews were pulled out screaming and kicking and spweing hate). Being unthankful, Hashem has not helped them as He could have if they had been thankful. The Jews in Samaria will be slaughtered, theProphet Daniel saw (because they will not leave as the Jews in Gaza did). So the Jews in Samaria need to watch for a sign to flee: when a world leader goes into the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem and says he is god when he is not, that is when the slaughter will occur. Flee to the mountains and to Petra.
44. #43 No Name, are you still there?
Mark ,   USA   (07.19.07)
You, quoting the Bible. What did Bible say about the Holocaust? Things happen because people make stupid decisions. God gave us brains to think, gave us the Commandments to follow. We have free will. Don't blame the "settlers" for the sickness that ails Israel. The settlers are the only ones with the fortitude to return to Jewish land and make it bloom. It's people without courage, without vision, that are to blame for Israel's present problems. Not the settlers.
