1. He should be playing with grandchildren, not in politics.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.02.10)
2. a contribution
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (08.02.10)
Peres should make a simple contribution that will bring peace that much closer. Peres should apologize to the Israeli people and then quit politics altogether. The less he meddles and talks, the better for Israel and the world. As Rabin z"l said, Peres is nothing but an unstoppable backstabber.
3. peres should have retired years ago
jason white ,   afula,israel   (08.02.10)
We have about 1700 dead and thousands wounded with his oslo accords. The terrorist murderer arafat was able to move his terrorist army to our borders. peres and other fools like him are ready to give away parts of our small country. We need the Golan and can do without all Israeli politicians. We did not elect peres and he was never elected by the Israeli people. We know him and the damage he could still do. peres' visions will destroy Israel. A p.m. with guts and intelligence should have replaced him or eliminated the office of president. It is supposed to be ceremonial and not involved in politics. We do not need it.
4. Thank You Mr. President
Steve ,   Tel Aviv   (08.02.10)
A wonderful interview and an honor to have you as President with the hope you can talk some sense into this insanity called a government.
5. Israel might protect the current Arab corrupted regimes!
Moise   (08.02.10)
and he might be right when he states that Arab regimes , Specially Egypt, SA, Jordan against Iran who is much more democratic than those corrupt regimes. The new generation in arab world agree that Arab unity is their primary goal, and Israel is the biggest threat to their security and their wellbeing. Many might disagree, but that is the reality Peres's era is gone, he should retire the sooner the better!!
6. Wise man
Fadi, Amsterdam ,   The Netherlands   (08.02.10)
I always looked up to Mr. Peres. He is a very wise man. Not that I always agree with his policies. But he has earned my respect!
7. a man with NO remorse !!!
aviG   (08.02.10)
"The most complicated thing in life is to be afraid" ... that says all, he's a very scary 'person'.
8. longevity
alan ,   texas   (08.02.10)
If he thinks he is going to live to see the arabs make a meaningful peace with Israel, he will have to be older than Methusela.
9. Shimon Peres retirement beckons
Yaakov ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.02.10)
If Shimon Peres lives to see implementation of the "Piece Plan" then he shall live to see another holocaust or a mini-holocaust in ISrael due to giving away more land. Of course he will claim ignorance and be surprised and bewildered "why would they fire on us/launch missiles/invade after we gave them more of Judea and Samraia ? etc..." just like he feigned surprise after the continuation and intensification of Missile fire from Gaza/Gush Katif after expelling our own citizens from their land and ruined their businesses and part of the GDP. Shimon is a walking failure.
10. Peres
Nili   (08.02.10)
Too bad he doesn't read how our "peace partners" want to band together to wipe us out once and for all. It is senile old has-beens like him that are the greatest danger to this country. Look around--what has all the giving and talking achieved? Homeless Israelis and rockets. There is truly no fool like an old fool.
11. With all due respect to Peres...
Malone ,   Hfx   (08.02.10)
....I think his shelf life has expired. I don't agree with his lefty ideology,but he has served his country for many years with honor,however,I think it's time he retired to the rocking chair on his front porch.
12. Would his"1/4 cup of lemon juice" be taught at schools
ab   (08.02.10)
under "Breakast of the Gloious Peres" ,at request of Peresist losers ,trying to elevate him to Kim lL Jong status ? He'd love it ,this vain man who has costed so many lost Israeli lives.
13. peres /peace
sas ,   israel   (08.02.10)
i honestly hope to have peace in this country but hope that peres is not around then.. the man is corrupt, a liar and I do not understand how he manages to get away with everythng. has anyone checked his FAMOUS PEACE CENTER???????????????? where do his funds come from and how does he pay such salarfes. I have facts...........
14. Answer to "sas"on the funds of the "Peres Peace Center"
ab   (08.03.10)
In the past the Center was financed by the Danish Social Democrats and the French Socialists The intermediary between Denmark and the Center was Herbert Pundik ,father of Ron Pundak ,director of the Center. The same Pundik who has regaled readers of a Danish major paper "Politiken" with the story titled " Bomber who saved the Peace" About the creature who had bombed the Dolphinarium in TA killing 20 teenage Israeli girls. Wife of Pundik and mother of Ron Pundak ,Susy ,has astonished even anti-Israeli Danish journalists ,when during their "Peace Tour" she collected every scrap of Israeli marked candies ,chewing gum ,etc and threw it into a garbage can before the "Peace Tour " had crossed into Jordan. Pundik's daughter,Michal ,got fired from her job in Netanya-she had convinced her boss to participate in the Passover Dinner at the "Park Hotel" ,despite his bad premonitions. "Palestiniansdon't attack religiousgathering! " was she laughing. Her boss was subsequently murdered. Pundik Sr .asked his friend ,Israel hater MogensLykketoft ,then the chairman of the Social Democrats funding the PeresPeace Center to pull some strings in Israel and get her a new job. This was just after a Danish TV debate ,when Pundik ,Lykketoft and a pal girl ,all attacked the only pro-Israeli participant in the debate on Israel.
15. Peres and the peace fantasy
Brod ,   USA   (08.03.10)
Peres should not be too optimistic about peace. If peace to the Islamist-Jihadists mean depriving Israel of its GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED Land of Israel, that is far from peace for Israel. In fact, it is making the Islamist-Jihadists attain its Charter that calls for the destruction of Israel closer. The fact is Islamist-Jihadism is Israel's number one enemy. It is also America's number one enemy. It is also the number one enemy of the Free World. Israel's number one Strength is the GOD of Israel. GOD will take care of Israel. Be faithful to Him. Don't cow and give in to the Pagans! Be united, resolute and strong. The GOD of Israel will be your Shield, Rock, Fortress, Stronghold, Help, Hope, Peace, Helper, Trust, Rescue...(The Book of Psalm). GOD will prevail against the dark forces.
16. Peace is a dream.....
Shalom ,   U.S.A.   (08.03.10)
We can't afford to be dreamers, a jew must be a realist and pragmatist. The muslim world never lived in peace and never will. Ignoring history and contemporary lessons are dangerous. But he's 87 and for that reason I respect him and wish well.
17. #1 Bunnie talking of commitments
Avi ,   Israel   (08.03.10)
Sorry dear we are talking about our president here not yours in America. Peres has given the best part of his life for Israel , while you sit in the comfort of LA and cant even commit to Israel by making aliah. So save us the lectures from the lobby of the hilton on how to run our lives here in Israel, as quite honestly me dear its none of your concern.
18. Unless Peres considers himself immortal..
Malone ,   Hfx   (08.03.10)
..he will never see peace,nor will those of us posting here today. Never happen.
19. Peace is THE Make Believe Strategy & Peres is its Champion
aviG   (08.03.10)
There has been & there will ALWAYS be wars SIMPLY because those who are worlds leaders cannot exist without them. http://www.henrymakow.com/the_taliban_the_enemy_you_are.html There will be no more revolutions because there is no more Peoples on earth ... http://shofar-ierushalaim.blogspot.com/2010/08/living-deads-day.html SWEET DREAMS BROTHERS and SISTERS ! Oh, I forgot, Peres not only has no remorse but NO SHAME.
20. Peres wants to see peace
Harold ,   USA   (08.03.10)
Peres received the Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing for peace and still wants to see peace before he depart this planet. May I know why he is still keeping the Nobel Prize??????
21. #15
Harold ,   USA   (08.03.10)
I am still hearing the same old broken record. GOD is fed-up of what the Israelis are doing for the last 62 years. Kindly stop using God's name and wise-up.
22. #16
Harold ,   USA   (08.03.10)
Can you tell the world how many human's Peres killed during the past 62 years and from the day he left Poland and immigrated to Palestine.
23. Admirable perceptions...
Y.net web reader ,   Niles, IL, USA   (08.03.10)
Happy 87 Birthday President Peres and may You be richly and righteously Blessed in Chochmah, Bina, Daat, and fulfillment in life
24. he means well but if he thinks he will see peace
Jrodstein ,   Basalt, Colorado   (08.03.10)
in his life time he has to live another 100 years give or take a few.
25. to AB #14
Yaakov ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.03.10)
My gosh! That Michal is brainwashed. I guess she never realized that the Arabs attacked Israel on the holiest, most solemn day of the calendar-Yom Kippur(Day of Atonement) and on the Temple Mount (the holiest place in Judaism) and at the kotel below from Above just to name a few.... right Arabs never attack at Jewish religious gatherings. Where does this Michal live on Mars? She is living in a fantasy.
26. Separation is okay but do not divorce and do not remarry
Rivkah   (08.03.10)
until after Sonia's death. Then you are free to remarry with Yahweh's blessing. I am so sorry Sonia left you even though you were willing to remain married with her not participating in your career. When Yahweh breaks your heart, it is for His glory and greater belssings for you. Wait until after Sonia passes away to remarry if you do. She nearly died and that might have made her a little crazy. Stay loyal and faithful to the end and the Lord will bless you.
27. No foool like an Old fool - what a lousy exmample he sets
Sid ,   london UK   (08.03.10)
A presedient must be seen to have and maintain a stable personal relationship. I f Peres was unable to do this then he has no right to be president of Israel. Obviously,, Sonia knows more about him than she will let on. Peace won't be achieved in 33 years so I am afraid his dream won't come true. Have a look at the Ethic iof the Fathers 5:24 as a person approached 100 years - sums up Peres!
28. The most important phrase in the interview for me:
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.03.10)
....."Death doesn't bother me"... Do you know what there before death?! DYING, it is very clear here .
29. Our President
yoel reuben ,   Lod Israel   (08.03.10)
I personally have great respect for our President, his views are very down to earth, his openions have a touch of wisdom, and his life is that of a sage trying his utmost to foster peace. "God bless him" and "A very Happy Birthday to you" Sir!
30. YNET CENSORS! SO MUCH FRO FREE SPEECH!
