1. Peres seems to be whispering sweet nothing in her ears...
Avi ,   Israel   (07.16.12)
Its Hillary's way of getting back at Bill for the Monica affair...
2. says the same erson that had called Assad "a Reformer"
ab   (07.16.12)
3. MONICA, MONICA, MONICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (07.16.12)
4. President Clinton laid the blame for peace failure on Arafat
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (07.16.12)
Who left the talks to start his preorganised intifada, sending out suicide bombers ertc. As King Hussein said"there is no bridge that Arafat has not double crossed"
5. Violation of democracy!
Vladimir ,   Yerushalayim   (07.16.12)
How can Peres, who was not elected, supersede the Government and the Knesset?! He has no mandate! Katzav would never dare to conduct official talks with a foreign representative! Nobody would have permitted him.
6. What a waste of jet-fuel: all these endless trips &proclama-
tom ,   tel aviv   (07.16.12)
tions of hot-air, bombastic and devoid of real substance assurances of absolutely...nothing! But hey, Shimon LOVES it, so it must be good for the Jews,right?
7. Is she still talking about two States?
Keren IL-BR   (07.16.12)
What planet does she live in? Nobody is talking about two states anymore. There is no need of a peace process if Jews and Arabs are happily living in the same land from the Med to the Jordan River. Isn't that wonderful to have won out of the blues 2.5 new citizens to our country?
8. Common Hillary, you can do better than Peres...

9. Cast Lead "beyond the norms of humanity" 1,417 dead in Gaza
COLBERT ,   Treadmill, ISS   (07.16.12)
...13 dead Israelis. "The United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict concluded that the Israeli military operation was directed at the people of Gaza as a whole, in furtherance of an overall and continuing policy aimed at punishing the Gaza population, and in a deliberate policy of disproportionate force aimed at the civilian population."
10. #7 Not mine.
Keren ,   IL-BR   (07.16.12)
11. COLBERT # 9
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.16.12)
But like you the U.N. has no credibility.
12. "Colbert" the UN was a prejudged farce.Arabs chose to fight
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (07.16.12)
To fight amongst their civillians without uniforms.Civillian casualties were the predictable outcome.Hiding amongst civillians removed their protection by the rules of war. Goldstoneas a judge should have disqualified himself for prejudiced statements made before any investigation, likewise for Chinkin. The UNHRC up front said they were going to investigate Israel's crimes not whether crimes were committed.Your kind of justice right? Needless to say their mandate was not to look at the 10000 missiles fired by Hamas at Israeli civillians. BTW You conveniently forgot to mention that Goldstone later said had he had all the information he received subsequently he ruled out Israel targetting civillians.
13. Time of opportunity to annex Judea/Samaria.
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.16.12)
It's a time of opportunity, if only we had leaders with the courage to grasp it. It's a great time to admit the "peace process with Palestinians" is a deadly fraud and annex liberated Judea and Samaria. As we should have in 1967.
14. Two astronauts flying hight into the troposphere !
trumpeldor   (07.16.12)
Delirium is caused by PO2 brutal decrease .....
15. Peres
Moragh   (07.16.12)
Don't worry about it Mr Peres. In any case, there is damn all you can do about it!
16. Yes, the time has come
Dan ,   Florida - Tel Aviv   (07.16.12)
The Palestinians have brought chaos to all areas in which they have infested. Jordan, Libya, Syria, Lebanon etc which is why no other Arab country wants them. They are the embodiment of evil. The time has come to tell them that we are, after 64 years, through playing with them and that Gaza is their new state and Judea & Samaria is now part of greater Israel. Jerusalem is the Jewish capitol and the Temple Mount having NO religious significance to Muslims, will be raised to the ground and a 3rd Temple will be built.
17. To #1
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (07.16.12)
Peres can't possibly be that desperate :-)
18. #13 Chaim, tell me
PaulZion ,   Israel   (07.16.12)
I have read all your posts about not drafting the Haredim? Are you Haredi, Chaim? Did you do your army service, Chaim? Have you children who are in the army or are prepared to do combat service, Chaim? If not, and considering the terrible risks our soldiers will face in the war that will break out if we annex the West Bank, I think it best you stop agitating for annexation. If and when you or your children are prepared to pay the ultimate price that is inherent in the risks of your rash desires, then your calls will have some substance behind them. If they will continue to sit in their dark little Cheiders poring over books that are supposed to teach you to be a mensch ( while they do nothing active about becoming one), I think it best you keep shtum.
19. Cigars?
AfCan ,   Pretoria   (07.16.12)
I am sure he is inviting her for nice dinner..To discuss some Peace plans.
20. Opportunity with cameras around?
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (07.16.12)
21. An unabashed suck-up or just an old fool?
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (07.16.12)
I find Peres' over-the-top sycophancy toward Obama and Clinton quite distasteful. Then again, it wasn't Peres subject to a 45-minute tongue-lashing by Clinton two years ago - it was Netanyahu. Peres - forever the "true believer" in peace and concessions - remains a US favorite. One wonders (but doubts) if Clinton meeting her actual counterpart - FM Lieberman - will go as well. Obama/Clinton seem to prefer the delusions of a Peres to the realism of a Lieberman. Fresh off her trip to Egypt and her confidence in Muslim Brotherhood-led Egypt, the preference for hope over reality is clear.
22. Peres in love...how sweet!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.16.12)
I guess it is never too late to fall in love...
23. #18. There are many many "Chaims"
Chiam ,   Israel   (07.16.12)
#18. I have not written a single post about drafting Haredim. There are many many "Chaims" around. Moreover, anyone can sign themselves as "Chaim". As for annexing Judea and Samaria. This land is ours. Annexation is long overdue.
