1. DEAR MR. PERES,
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (11.17.09)
Prior to your current trip to Argentina, many Talkbackers (not me ) advised you not to go but to stay home and play with your Grandchildren but you know best .
2. Peres does not represent me in any way shape or form
Ruri   (11.17.09)
If he is in a home for the aged drooling, I'd be happy to read to him, but to drool all over the world in my name - no, I don't accept him as my representative in any way.
3. Delenda Tehran est
Fist   (11.17.09)
Veiled Shiite women. Big bearded mans shouting islmaic slogans. an dthe article call about "argentinians" These guys belong as much to Argentin as Aliens to planet Earth. Dont you understand that the various demonstrations Peres did recieve during his travel are only the metastsis of the Shiite cancer spread in south america; The only cur ei sto hit the snake at his head; An dthe head is Tehran. There is no substitute than to strike adeadly blow to the Mullah's regime.
4. The Muslim infiltration of South America
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (11.17.09)
is not as strong as it is in western Europe but it is growing and the native people of these countries will feel its dire effects. Muslim influence is growing due to two reasons: 1) Oil money; and 2) Population growth. Decline of oil dependency by western regimes in the future and decline of financial influence by mideastern countries will decrease Muslim influence in international affairs but population growth, especially in democratic countries, remains very threatening.
5. Anti Israel movement just starting.
Peter Morris ,   New Zealand   (11.17.09)
It will only get worse until Israel comes to its senses. Israel will never be able to discredit Goldstone. Trying to do so by forcing US Congress members and others to disavow there own constitution and principles will also not succeed. Goldstone is a turning point which will rally previous apathetic and ignorant onlookers. Pandering to Israel's totally unwarranted demands and wars has meant a huge amount of wasted time, effort and resources. Resourses which could have applied in much needed areas of the world. As well there would not be any "War on Terror" which came about from 911 which in turn came about from the twisted maniacal support of Israel from and group of Americans.
6. Truth Hurts!
Bill ,   Syracuse,NY   (11.17.09)
When a country launches an attack against an impoverished area under siege/occupation and causes many innocent deaths, its leaders will hear the truth regarding their murders everywhere they go.
7. A bunch of jerks...

Pal ,   USA   (11.17.09)
to another south american nation ,he did not get the message yet . the guy keeps smiling . i loved #4 title ..OUFFFF,take it easy man .
9. #4 Don't be naive
Daniel   (11.17.09)
You're talking as if opposition the Israelis policy of occupation and unjustified murder of civilians comes only from Muslims. I have news for you, many westerners, Christians and Jews oppose this policy. So wake up, and instead of bashing any opposition to Israel, and try to look at the reasons behind it and hopefully one day Israelis will fix themselves from the inside...
10. Quoting the Article "Death to Zionist-fascist Israel..."
Paco ,   Canada   (11.17.09)
"Death to Zionist-fascist Israel, officer of American imperialism in the Middle East, murderers of the Palestinian people!" i gota tell u, this article just made my day bcse it fianlly speaks the truth. Great Article YNET!! +1
11. Not thousands!!!
Ariel Szvalb ,   Argentina   (11.17.09)
12. Not thousands!!!
Ariel ,   Argentina   (11.17.09)
They werent thousands, just a few hundred demonstrators from fringe groups, extreme left wingers, arab societies and some from human rights organizations...They have no significance in daily politics of Argentina...Ynet is exaggerating. Just went to a gathering where Shimon Peres spoke in front of 5000 jews. He gave a brilliant and encouraging speech.
13. writing from my room avenida cordoba
Eytan ,   Miami   (11.17.09)
Just back from diner and in Buenos Aires for a few days. My hosts (non Jewish) commented how more and more Muslims are moving here and how many came from Albania and Kosovo after the war in the Balkans. I don't know if Shimon Peres is going to Chile after but if He does He will get the same reception. We know that most of the people participating in these events are Muslims or extreme left-wingers but the problem is that the local media does not make this difference and the news is only about people demonstrating against the President of Israel. www.living-inspired.com Your daily spiritual click
14. Peres not a murderer unless you count Oslo and the dead
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.17.09)
Jews from his foolish ideas.
15. Hypocrites
Korem ,   New York, USA   (11.17.09)
They call Peres a child murderer while supporting an organization that commends child-murderers like Samir Kuntar and renders them heroes. I guess they don't consider Israeli children to be human. Then by that logic an Israeli who doesn't consider Arab children human is just as justified in his hatred as they are. Absolutely idiotic.
16. That's your Thank You card from Oslo ! (end)
Ida ,   BC   (11.17.09)
17. Argentine demonstrators
Truthseeker ,   USA   (11.17.09)
I would not be at all surprised if among those demonstrating against Peres were members of the Mades of the Plaza de Mayo. These are women who lost their children and grandchildren to the fascist and anti-Semitic junta that ran Argentina during the 1970 and early 80s. This is a junta that with the blessings of the US and with the help of Israeli weapons disappeared over 30,000 Argentines. Argentine Jewish newspaper publisher Carlos Tunnerman was arrested and imprisoned by the junta and could not understand why Israel would have sold weapons to these anti-Semitic fascists. Can anyone on this talk back explain? Maybe someone will ask Peres who certainly was in the Israeli government during those terrible days.
18. #4 You are correct...Islam is the fasterst growing religion
(11.17.09)
in Latin America.
19. BEWARE ARGENTINA! Zechariah the Prophet in the Bible
Rivkah   (11.17.09)
said the Messiah is coming to judge the nations FOR HOW THEY TREATED THE JEWS. Does Argentina want to be among the least of nations in the Millenial Kingdom of Yehushua the High Priest of Y'hovah? Beware. What you do now will have an eternal effect on the status of Argentina.
20. when it is free
lara   (11.17.09)
it will be free to all of people ..... so no light but many lights unto nations ..hahaha
21. there is ONLY GAZA
tiki Belgium   (11.17.09)
Day in and day out HUNDREDS of "innocent CIVILIAN muslims" are "bombed out" by their "brother muslims" in Irak/Aghanistan and ALL the other places where the MEDIA doesn't even bother to cover it anymore, because NOBODY cares if a few more muslims are blown up in the air. There is ONLY GAZA. None of these " protesting idiots" (all over the world) even "considers" to protest against this. There is ONLY GAZA. Poor slaughtered muslims who DON't live in Gaza, their life is not worth ONE line in a newspaper, not worth ONE protest demonstration of other muslims or "Human Rights" Organisations. There is ONLY GAZA.
22. peres
sas ,   israel   (11.17.09)
Honestly, I do not like what is being done in Brazil and Argentine but PERES CAN STAY THERE. The mans is cheap, a bluff, a liar and a thief. Did anyone ask him what has been doing with all the donations that he has received from his PEACE (PIECE ) CENTER. Absolutely NOTHING except that all of his employees travel around the world in business class plus. Someone should check this man and this organization. I know people that have made big donations but they have even received a letter explaining what his been done with their money. DISGUSTING. Peres - you are old, senile. STAY HOME........Sonia was right - she moved out.........She should have done it years ago. Shall I give a list of presents that you recieved - not that deserved it. You went shopping, saw prices and said it was too expensive. The store owner then gave you a gift................and of course you accepted it and quickly left the shop.
23. Shimon Peres, Welcome to Argentina!
Ilan ,   Buenos Aires, Argent   (11.17.09)
I want to welcome Shimon Peres to Argentina. This leftists demonstrations in Argentina are payed, most of those people doesn't really know what they are doing there. They just go because someone tell them to go. They all know the same speech "Israel is evil. Israel stole Palestinians lands. Israel kills children. Period." If you try to talk about it, they wont be able to mantain a serious chat because they only know that speech.
24. Mr Peres, here is the silver lining
Tracy W ,   Canada   (11.17.09)
Mr. Peres has always been a very strong proponent of appeasing the PA/Gaza Arabs, primarily by surrendering land for the creation of a state of their own. His international tour has been an opportunity to reaffirm his beliefs to the liberal, leftist, pro-Palestinian world with the message: "I am also pro-Palestinian - I am for a Palestinian state - I'm one of you". I understand his deep need to be accepted by the international community. And he is, in certain circles. He was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, after all. But the masses are not diplomatic. They don't have to mind their manners. They feel free to shout what's in their hearts. And the message for Mr. Peres has been devastating: "No, you're not one of us", they yell. "You are a..." (followed by slurs). And what they mean is: "You are a JEW." This is a tragedy that has occurred too many times in our history. Those who feel finally accepted must at some point find out the truth: it was all self-deceit. Mr. Peres, your own people are at home. They are the Jews who suffer from fear, violence and poverty. Turn your love and attention to them instead. You are in this world only once. No second chances. So why not do what is honorable and work for the strengthening of your people, your heritage, your land. You can either be honored or reviled by your descendants. If Israel ends up being partiioned, it won't last very long. Your people will find themselves once again roaming the world. And believe me, the Palestinians and their supporters will not have a single thought for you other than their most contemptuous ones. To them you are and will always be a Jew. The silver lining in this sad tour may be that the treatment you received from Arabs and leftists abroad will move you to reflect on your values and your legacy.
25. March of the moonbats, ignorants and antisemites!
Israeli Israeli   (11.17.09)
They make a lot of noise, but have no real power (this time...) . They are on the wrong side of history, and time will prove it. What they could not achieve on the battlefield, they are trying to achieve through hate propaganda, marching, screeming, flag burning, rock throwing, internet hate sites, foul language, brainwashing of stupid and ignorant people who know jack, etc., but they will not succeed. Waste of moonbat energy!
26. # 9 Daniel - EXCELLENT talkback ! THANK YOU .
(11.17.09)
27. $18; You're full of it! Latinos reject Islam.
Protestors=Muslims ,   Canada/Panama   (11.17.09)
The vast majority of the protestors were Muslim and Communist thugs. Most Latinos don't support Arab terrorists and look kindly on Israel. The fastest religion in Latin America is Evangelical Christianity and Mormonism. Islam and it's tenets are radically opposed to the Latino culture and that is why very few Latinos convert to it. Get your facts straight!
28. #6 Bill - VERY TRUE !
(11.17.09)
29. To Mr. Ilan , Buenos Aires, Argent
Ameer ,   Qalqilya- Palestine   (11.17.09)

I just want to add to your info that not only Argentina poeple hates murder of childern it all world except who has a fear of israel terror.
30. Peres...please stay there....dont come back!
Jay3 ,   ISrael   (11.17.09)
