Same old fool. Down with him already.

Remember Peres, sitting in his apartment in Ramat Aviv, while Kassams falling on Sderot:"Kassamin, schmassamim, what is all this histerya about ?"

Can you image a President says "Iran is a danger, let's bomb them and be done with it". Politic does not work that way, there are words for public consumption and for private (real) communications. I hope Peres knows what he is doing. If my heart is correct, he is the "mouth of Israel" while the PM is the one that do the dirty job that needs to be done. Bad cop good cop, in the end, they both works to get the criminal. I don't believe Peres is that naive when it comes to Saddam Hussein, Gaza, Iran. He doesn't look and speak like a fool. But i could be wrong. But i don't think he is a fool.

If Prime Minister is in trouble, to attack others three times a day is a good medicine (recommended betweem meals.)

Peres has become as irrelevant as Jimma Carter has for the US. These two imbeciles need to quietly slip into the annals of failed state leaders & cause no further harm.

Peres is right, he was wrong on Osirek however, Israel cannot do this along. The IAF cannot destroy the Iranian nuclear programme on it's own. This is a war that would be long and very damaging to the State of Israel, it could also seriously bankrupt the state. While the leadership would be safe in the hills around Beit Shemesh the population will be at the mercy at what is thrown at them. Bomb shelters in the major population centres are not up to par where are the people to go?

poor judgement. Why doesn't he keep quiet already?

Peres' critics are absolutely correct. Peres was wrong about Oslo, wrong about destroying Iraq's nukes, wrong about Disengagement, wrong about almost everything. However, Peres is not alone. On major issues, leftists are ALWAYS wrong.

remember news is here to collect revenue, and is by nature unqualified to judge or even speculate on the true motivations or conditions surrounding decision makers. Furthermore, I'm inclined to believe that "talk backers" on this site do not represent any kind of majority opinion

in his autobiography, & he had it right. Peres is also naive, stupid, & short-sighted. What did Peres do when he was PM & hundreds of Israelis were being murdered as a result of him letting terrorists into Israel? Nothing. Peres is the last person anyone should listen to regarding what's best for Israel.

means well but he and rabin were sold a "bill of goods" by the sly old fox bubba clinton who pushed for oslo. it was to be his "legacy". neither shamir nor begin would have gone for it. too bad for peres--he really meant well--time for him to be seen and not heard. p.s. I do agree though it's not the time for war and barak once again missed an opportunity to keep quite

These fools on the left should go to Iran and talk to the leaders and mullahs. Maybe these fools can talk some sense into the misunderstood leaders of Iran. The ignorant and foolish leftists are the reason that racist states like Iran exist.

The courage to speak the truth as he sees it and expend his political capital is the mark of a true statesman. He was also the candidate for PM who refused to demagogue the murder of Rabin while Bibi was whispering in rabbis ears that his opponents were not real Jews. Also remember that Shimon built the IDF and without him Dimona would be just one more development town. His legacy and integrity is intact.

How can one live to the age of 89 and still remain so naive?

But I hope the American Jews will not follow the Peres idea and will for Mitt Romney.

A review of Peres career shows that in its entirety he has spent his life undermining whatever goverment was in power. Meir, Rabin, Begin, and now Netanyahu. Peres isn't suitable to be the mayor of Chelm.

He thinks he'll still be Prez in the Hinsides,he doesn't believe in Ashes to Ashes

their walk. Hes the toast of EU

.....to say that it's not a good idea to do it without USA like so many bright (israeli) experts already said, the rightwing talkbackers and Netanyahus aides would even tell God to shut up and listen to Barack and Netanyahu.

I am having trouble figuring out if your comments were more blasphemous or more stupid. Is everyone in Switzerland as dense as you. Dumber than a box of rocks.

Give him the pleasure of being a private citizen. It will do good for both, for him and for Israel.

that the torah isn't in the heaven?

Peres is the Jewish version of Jimmy Carter.

To be broken as soon as the believers are strong enough. For that the Egyptian thief got a Nobel prize Repeated surveys amongst Arabs on WB & Gaza prove they don't want peace with any Israel
