Over and over again Peres insists on displaying his total lack of judgment and any learning from experience every time he refers to Abu Mazan as a realistic peace partner.

"Holocaust is one thing and Iran is another. The comparison is out of place.” I agree with this quote by Peres. With nukes Iran could kill millions in hours rather than years. Peres needs to retire.

definitely i agree with MR.President on this comment:, and is not just Mr.Netanyahu, also the israeli media loves to play the roll. With comments and speechs like those it seems u want to adoctrine the public. Bad attitude. "President Shimon Peres is not a fan of the narrative led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when it comes to Iran and the Holocaust – to put it mildly. The comparisons to 1939 and Hilter do not sit will with him, either. Netanyahu's Holocaust Day speech made the president uncomfortable and those who spoke with him shortly afterwards said he was profoundly unhappy with the prime minister's rhetoric, which implied that the nuclear Iran would undoubtedly spell a second Holocaust for the Jewish people."

waiting for J.Carter to agree on the fallacy of his "convictions". These fools have invested all of their "legacies" in naive world-view when it really mattered: when they had some actual power. Now, between diaper-changes, we want them to recant??!!! What would they write on the walls of the various "Peace Institutes of Peres"? - "He was wrong, but consistent". There were only few thousand casualities on our side. Obviously peace-delusion was worth it...,No?

Why doesn't this senile man use his position to mobilize peace-seeking Israelis to oust the government of settlers and Russian immigrants? Just a simple question. My opinion is that Peres is just that, a shadow figure devoid of any real authority, just another greedy politician.

Thailand, Nigeria. the Phillipines. EU the USA,Iraq. Iran,Turkey-----. Terror and terror plots,opression of minorities,the same story everywhere. Why should the Islamic Republic of Palestine be any different.?

this oslo fool gets more foolish the older he gets. what a moron in a high place. he is directly responsible for the death of innocent woman and children.

what has Abu Mazen done to "speak out against war and for peace"??? Huh? Tell me ONE thing. His PA sponsored TV is full of incitement and hatred and just last week a chldren's program said Jews were devils with tails, he honors terrorists and names streets and memorials after murderers. He still lies about absolutely everything regarding Judaism and the history of the Jews. He refuses every reasonable offer and insists on all his demands including the return of 5 million Arabs to Israel proper... and on and on. And you consider him a great partner for peace and now? I say let him start by teaching his people the truth about the Jews and their history in Israel including respecting and recognizing our holy sites. Let him replace all hate TV with coexistance re-education. Let him show that he is willingto do this and live in peace even if he doesn't immediately get a state. THEN I will believe that he is truly a man seaking peace and one who his people will follow into LIVING in peace. Reality is that even if he "does it for the cameras" now (before Shimon Peres passes) the "PA" people will NOT accept this agreement because a) they were never educated toward peace and b) they will kil Abu Mazen. This PEACE NOW idea is a pipe dream ready to explose in Israel's face. If you were open to seeing all the facts Mr. President, you would realize that.

Well, that's very noble but the sentence "Now it's the time for Peace with the Palestinians" is the wrong way to go! It has to be: "Now it's the time for the Arabs, the Islamists, the (moderate) Muslims, the European Leftists & University students, the Boycotters & the Arab Palestinians....to make PEACE with ISRAEL......'than there will be peace!

I agree with most if not all of the criticism. But at 90 years old, he is a remarkable individual. Please G-d by all of us...

this award? Peres gets to stroke his ego, feel like the (unworthy) hero of Israel (actually he has caused enormous damage and done nothing good), and everyday there after look at it and think how great (in his own mind) he is. The US get's to give a stroke to someone who has (to the detrement of his own country) supported and done whatever the US asked him to do. ?Basically he is an unpaid employee of the US government (but there were a lot of other perks).

According to the dictionary: to indoctrinate means that a person or group accepts a set of beliefs uncritically. Like to to indoctrinate masses with opinions, articles or ideas. So you can criticize whatever you wish, but to critize President Peres just because you believe he is not as young as you are, is absolutely stupid.

Peres is responsible for deaths of trhousands of Israelis and Arabs with his Oslo crap he arranged with the Norweigians against Israeli law. He rebuilt the washed up PLO and Arafat and invested millions in an Arab terror state. This is who speaks for us. Hopefully, at 90 he won't be around much longer,

Obama legimitized in polite diplomatic language the word "disgusted" as in "the United States is disgusted by..."; "We are disgusted by..." - more than once actually in 3 short years. I am more than within my rights of using this dipolo language in connection with the demented, lunatic peace-zombie Pers I believe!!

However I Politely disagree, some of us were born with A Fire in our belly and I have come to realize that being, nice, considerate or polite is Taken As Weakness. Any existential threat should be Countered. It is unfourtinate that the world has changed for the worst, Israel must be adaptive. Your experience and advise is considered, but sometimes Actions Speak Louder Than words. I also believe the Fire that burns within Is Justice For My People and the Less Fourtinate. ייתכן שם הא יברך אותך לנצח

peres ha sbrought nothing but death to israel. abbas who he hails is an israeli history denier, who cannot admit he is sitting on israeli land as an occupier. peres was against osiraq, he was like barak unable to sustain lebanon operations because of errant shells, he simply doesnt have the guts. Peace cannot come with abbas, not with him. and israel like scion says needs the jordan border as a minimum and not on a lease basis. In return the arabs will get peace and the israelis will not beat the hell out of them. Those are the terms. In the meantime, peres, and his poodles beilin and benami can go to hell with their formulae which are the prducts of gutless cowards like olemrt and and livni. Olmert in fact was the greatest coward of modern israel.

Numerous posters refer to Peres as "senile". Alas, it is not so simple. Peres was just as foolish and destructive when he was younger. After all, he was a main driving force behind the Oslo Disaster. Peres has been a scourge onto Israel for decades on end.

Since I can't and don't speak Hebrew, it's of utmost importance that the Israeli edition publish your words on Peres. I would gladly do , but again, simply cannot. Please act and also send reader's letters to the printed newspaper Yedioth Aharonoth, too (and other papers) expressing your "disgust". Thanks to all patriots and pro-Israelis.

...but there is alternative to Peres.

He's been in the dark too long. He's nuts if he thinks Iran isn't a viable holocaust desiring apocalyptic regime.

Peres by nature, thinks out of the box and is a risk taker. His greatest achievement implementing Ben Gurion's policy to bring israel into the nuclear age. Peres's biggest failure Oslo. Meanwhile he is an elder statesman, respected around the world, useful to israel. Let him speak of peace, I personally will believe it when I see it. Iran is an existential threat to Israel. I believe the holocaust analogy is correct as a warning to Israel, to the Jews. However I do believe that Israel will defend itself and in the end eliminate the threat.

He is one of the stupidest people in the country. Yes there is an alternative and it's called survival.

since his wife Sonia died? Maybe it was stressful to cope with her illnesses, not knowing if she would live at times. Now that she is gone, that worry is gone, too.

My G_d! how a human been can talk like that! you are absolutely insane. Im dissapointed by your comment.
