Even though Rabin signed the Oslo Accords, Peres & Beilin were the main architects of it. Worst of all, he cannot admit he was wrong.

Shiffer comment "Peres is the father of the nuclear bomb."- look what is going on with Nsa Snowden. He is just 29 years old and all the world is surprise by the prism spy story. Can you imagine Peres telling in a world conference all what he knows about this country about his enemies, goverment deals, top israeli secrets that have never been reveal to the public before? Thats the only reason he is pretending to be the president

Revisionist history not refurbishment. The latter may be more polite, but is a lot less honest.

The problem with Peres is that he is a legend in his own mind. History is full of people who truly believe that they are the center of the universe.

for publishing this article. you've opened the eyes of many people who were not aware of the problems he's caused Israel (most of all oslo).it is my hope that your expose will be read by more then those on this web site

I used to think Peres and Rabin were the same. The article about Peres and Rabin, makes me sorry that I reduced Rabin to Peres's level. I apologize to rabin. Peres is probably at jimmy Carter's level. ... And you can't go lower than that.

Many of us here know about Peres & his super charged ego! amongst other very interesting rumous.

that Shimon wanted to buy a colony for Israel, an Ivory cost. I sort of believe this story. His typical megalomania and "inventiveness". What a flight of a mind, what a statesman. What a socialist! In Spanish I would call him "cantamañanas", in russian "свистун", in English "choribisco" ...

his birthday is in august and not in June!!!!!! I hope there r no more celebrations!!!!!!!!!!!!????????

While Peres struts around displaying his egomania, thousands of Oslo victims lie in cemeteries and sit in wheel chairs. Victims of the criminal negligence of Peres and Labor. Peres and Labor must be held accountable for their despicable actions and the countless Israelis who have suffered, and continue to suffer from them.

I don't know of Peres military experience but everyone who works for Israel Lives in Israel is Prime Minister Of Israel Risks his Life .therewas a chance when Arafat was at Low Ebb to Make a deal with King Hussein of Jordan to take control of Arab Jihadi and Fatah Ba'ath in Judea and Samaria on the West Bank of the Jordan Shamir scuttled it .So right or wrong Peres took risks for Peace .Also in the Entebee Operation Peres was More Confident and Morestrongly Behind it than Rabin. Personally I think peace is far off but Peres is a Devoted Moderate Zionist .

How trite

The real Mr. Peres. Thank you Mr. Shiffer for disclosing those few (amongst hundreds) of Peres-mania. Even though I did not support his party, Rabin was a Gentleman. Peres is a political narcisist. Time for a new, younger and charismatic President (women welcome) for Israel.

Nothing wrong with having a big ego. I will give Peres credit for implementing Ben Gurion's will on Dimona, for the French connection in the 50's and 60's. Peres' personality conflict with Rabin is irrelevant. I condemn Peres and Rabin for Oslo and all its ramifications. Why would anybody bring terrorists back to the land of Israel? Peres has become a fantasizer and useless ........

From Rabin's NYT's obituary..."When I (reporter Clyde Haberman) prefaced a question (to Rabin) by unwisely mentioning Mr. Peres, he cut me off with a curt, 'Who cares!'" Yup, just like we thought and it mutual.

Many questions remain unanswered.

so much that when they separated she began using her maiden name.

for the nomination. That's on historical record.

he made many mistakes. his vanity will not allow him to admit any failure. but he does have a beautiful granddaughter, through no fault of his own.

Rabin. Rabin was PM not Peres. Rabin and Arafat got the N. prize with Peres. Since Peres (not Rabin, he already was not alive) kissed Arafat on the famous photo in Paris. So, give Peres credit. He is a Bigman. I met the Man on a shuk in 1981 (when Begin was PM). He was campaining.

when he discovered that rabin was a candidate he did everything to make sure that he was in the show. the man is SICK. he has to be IN everything.

In the mid nineties when HAMAS suicide bombers blew up buses in Israel almost daily basis, Peres said " HAMAS DECLARED WAR ON ISRAEL and ISRAEL WILL ACT ACCORDINGLY." But nothing happened ! More Jewish children and parents died. Even now! He is stating Abu Mazen a peace partner,when the letter names streets and parks after the murderers of innocent Israeli children! Peres is a Shoa refugee,but was there any Holocaust if you ask Abbas or study his University thesis? The president is 90. His victims many times did not reach 20!

in '76'77 i was among a platoon of glolani soldiers at beit ha-hayal jerusalem and the defense minister came to talk to us. we were tired, hungry, fresh back from some operation or the other. one of the soldiers raised his hand and asked the dear politician how he could fulfil a taks he had no training for - having never actually participated in a battle of any kind (other than that he waged against rabin). Mr peres began screaming like a madman - frothing at the mouth at our impudence. i will never forget that scene and never have anything but contempt for its star.

His birthday celebration was overdone for any human - making him sounds so perfect and important. This made the event disgusting.

whatever one thinks of peres , he at least does not spill state secrets . he is a capable administrator . not a leader for sure , but altogether not a bad person

culprit in the oslo affair was Clinton--he pushed rabin (who was weak) and peres (who wanted a photo op) into a corner. he got Arafat a free ticket to Israel,gave him guns , money and whatever to set up camp next door,
