1. Goodness gracious !
Abel Shoni ,   France   (11.13.07)
..."and respected the Palestinian people and their leader, Mahmoud Abbas, whom he referred to as 'a great personality'."
2. In Peres dictionary, Peace means Give
Obama ,   Washington DC   (11.13.07)
As far as Israel is concerned, Give means Suicide. When will this ever get into Peres head or Olmert for that matter.
3. Qui desiderat pacem . . .
Abel Shoni ,   France   (11.13.07)
"South Korea objects to harsh sanctions on the North. Israel cooperates with the Palestinians. Avoiding a confrontation now only exacerbates the problem later. It is counter-intuitive to suggest that peace efforts don’t bring peace but rather that only militancy does. The communists believed that people cooperate for the common good. The problem is, neither Arabs nor Soviet peasants perceived their good the way their benefactors did. Arabs want and Soviet peasants wanted only one thing: land. Not peace or prosperity, but land. The land they consider rightfully theirs. Israelis and the Soviet workers offered reasonable terms and good compensation for the land; that didn’t work. Are Arabs stupid, unable to realize how good the peace deal is for them? Were Jews stupid when we refused Uganda and fought both Arabs and the British? A man is not only a stomach but also a mind. To fill the stomach at the expense of one’s raison d’être is a bad trade. Trade land for peace? How about selling a wedding ring for a good price? Some things are just not for sale. The Israeli government is ready to accept its thirty pieces of silver, a worthless peace treaty. Arabs, however, define “the land” differently—all the land of Palestine. Possibly in stages, but all the land. Older Arabs remember the sustenance economy, but the new generation doesn’t value the economic benefits of gathering up the crumbs from Israel’s table. They want neither money nor peace but land. Jews agree to peace without land; Arabs want land even without peace. Jews want to sell our inheritance, the land of Israel, but Arabs don’t want to buy it. They just want it. Strong wishes often materialize." (Samson blinded)
4. Peres in Turkey
khader herzallah ,   amman_jordan   (11.13.07)
Mr President,you always talk peace but never done.You talk about Qassam missiles as if they are mass destructive weapon and you know that they are toys if compared to your F16 and real Israeli MDW.You claim that you are in Turkey to advance peace while in reality you are advancing war against Iran.You talk about Iran,s building atomic power ,what about Israeli atomic power which you yourself the first person who brought it to the region. You cannot fool people anymore, they watch and see .Real peace can only be achieved when you recognize the rights of the Pals to live in their home-land i.e Palestine 1948 not 1967.
5. Peres can you please clarify what your senile mind believes
Dov   (11.13.07)
your "great personalty" Abbas meant by "If peace comes and the occupation comes to an end, Israel will live in a sea of peace."
6. The peace in his pocket ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (11.13.07)
Did Peres bring this peace with him to Turkey ? Is it the shiny peaceful golden calf he carries around in his pocket ? Where is it ,this peace of Peres ? Between his ears ?
7. PEREZ IN TURKEY......................................
AVROHOM BILGREI ,   ZION   (11.13.07)

8. senility has made its mark...there is no way back
jack bauer   (11.13.07)
9. Peres idea of Peace
chaim ,   miami beach usa   (11.13.07)
the same as Oslo which only brought death, misery, and a guarntee of, we in this generation and in our grandchildren generation will be subjected to either surrender and be governed under Islamic law or be subjected to endless war.
10. Only the Jews are stupid enough to listen to this idiot
Eliyahu   (11.13.07)
There is no way Turkey will fall for it. It just shows how stupid Peres really is. A five minute lesson in Turkish history would show Peres which end of the horse he resembles after those comments.
11. Peres wants Israel to have the same peace that Oslo brought
Nannette ,   London   (11.13.07)
12. Diversion amidst existential threat
Brod ,   USA   (11.13.07)
Is this the tactic of the Islamist-Jihadist world in diverting and distracting Israel from focusing her eyes on the Ayatollahs who have threatened to destroy Israel repeatedly and are feverishly working on their nukes to accomplish their evil intention on Israel? Israel should not be fooled by all these diversions and distractions to the existential threat facing her. Instead, Israel should be focusing on Iran and defending herself decisively against a fanatical Islamist-Jihadist state that is going to use nuke to annihilate the Jewish state.
13. Stay there you loser!

KMR ,   Middle East   (11.13.07)
16. If Perez is serious
Mehmet ,   USA   (11.14.07)
He should promise and committ Israel to cease arming and training the terrorist anti-Turkey PKK forces.
