Marco ,   Spain   (03.09.09)
" Arabs' problem is their treatment of women", and Israel's problem is that their Politicians cant see beyond their nose! Peres, did the President of Israel Kastav know how to treat women? I bet he did!

absurdity ,   lala land   (03.09.09)
1) tel aviv - leading prostitution city in the middle east 2) haredim's pure hatred of women, endorsement of segregation as well as strict customs on their own women, constituting sexism to the first degree 3) your own ex-president is being indicted on rape charges!

8. As horrific as this is it is the least of Arbs problem
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (03.09.09)
For all the oil revenues that have flowed into the wealthier Arb countries, the overall state of the Arb world is appalling. It does not produce one single manufactured product of sufficient quality to sell on world markets. Arab productivity is the lowest in the world. Nowhere in the Arab world is there a single world-class university. Scientific achievement has degenerated into a few research programs in the fields of chemical and biological warfare. There is not one true democracy in the Arb world. No Arb State genuinely respects human rights. No Arb state hosts a responsible media. No Arb society fully respects the rights of women or minorities, and no Arb government has ever accepted public responsibility for its own shortcomings. The Arb Middle East as the world's first entirely parasitic culture because it imitates poorly, consumes voraciously, spits hatred, exports death, and creates nothing. Blame has become the opium of the Arbs, and the greatest blame for their failures is that directed at the United States and, of course, Israel. It is their power, not its uses, that enrages the Arbs who are trapped in their own self-made weakness. External conflict is the lifeblood of Arb society therefore conflict in the Arab world is not seen as a problem that requires a Peaceful solution. The enemy of the Middle East is not the West or Israel so much as modernism and the humiliation that accrues when millions are nursed by fantasies, hypocrisies, and conspiracies to explain away their own failures. Any society whose allegiance is to the tribe rather than to the nation, that does not believe in democracy enough to institute it, shuns female intellectual contributions, allows polygamy, insists on patriarchy, institutionalizes religious persecution, ignores family planning, expects endemic corruption, tolerates honor killings, sees no need to vote, and defines knowledge as mastery of the Quran...is deeply pathological. The painful truth is that the acts of violence and barbarism occurring at present are nothing but the natural consequence of generations of Muslims having been misled and force-fed speeches filled with hostility and hatred for others over the course of decades, which deepened the backwardness and the ignorance in the Islamic world. Despite hundreds of billions of dollars in income from oil and massive amounts of Western humanitarian aid, the Arbs have yet to create one single monument to human achievement. But the blame rests only in themselves.The Arb League has never once convened an Arb summit to discuss the backward state of education in the Arb world and therein lies the problem. The sad truth is that the fantasies portrayed in Arbian Nights have long since become an Arbian nightmare because the Arb world has no real consensual governments; statism and tribalism hamper market economics and ensure stagnation. Sexual apartheid, Islamic fundamentalism, the absence of an independent judiciary, and a censored press all do their part to ensure endemic poverty, rampant corruption and rising resentment among an exploding population. For the Arb world, the status quo is no longer sustainable and time is not on its side. The Salafi jihadists are gaining strength in Egypt, Syria, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon and in the Fakestinian territories and warn that an apocalyptic Armageddon between the Muslim world and the West is approaching. Whether moderate Muslim intellectuals and Western-educated Muslim technocrats will be able to bring on an Islamic Renaissance before rising radical Islam draws them into an unwinnable nuclear confrontation remains to be seen. Their success in doing so is by no means assured.
9. Spaniards are no better.............

than Arbs in their treatment of women. This is why the male chauvinist pig Spaniards are defending Arb males abuse of the opposite sex.
10. Sonia Peres
The Perescope ,   Ramat Aviv, Israel   (03.09.09)
If Shimon really cared about women he would have listened to his long suffering wife, Sonia, and retired long ago. Instead, he abandoned her when he listened instead to his ego and became president.
11. At least the culprits are brought to justice
Veronique ,   Israel   (03.09.09)

12. #8 Genuine Tosefta
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (03.09.09)
So right!!! You defined the most primitive,wild and evil natured group of beings living in this world. They can have all the oil of the world;they can be the richest of the world,but they will keep having animal souls!I mean,something more near to animal's nature than human's.Excuse me,but that's t a fact ,just observe arab/Islam's behavior around the world.

Marco ,   Spain   (03.09.09)
" At least the culprits are brought to justice " The rapist was not an ordinary man from the street Veronique, that was your president for God's sake! A role model for the future generations of so called Israel!
17. #12 and 14
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (03.09.09)
37 years Peres authored a lengthy opinion piece, in Maariv I believe, where he said that Peace will not be possible in the Middle East before Arb society changes for the better, and this is the greatest obstacle to Peace before dealing with the other Peace details. This was true then and is still true today. The only thing that has changed in the meantime is that Peres, like many others, decided to delude himself into believing that this condition is no longer necessary and of course reality has come back to bite him and us hard on many misguided decisions like Oslo or the withdrawal form Gaza
