Sir Winston Peres - Gush Shalom - Israeli Peace Bloc

I normally don;t feature or quote Uri Avnery who I met once. You can read the original any time you like. Here I go though.
Like a traveling salesman offering a counterfeit product, Peres is now peddling the merchandise called Binyamin Netanyahu. He presents to the world a Netanyahu we have never known: a peacemaker, the epitome of truthfulness, a man with no other ambition than to go down in history as the founder of the State of Palestine. A Righteous Jew to outshine all Righteous Gentiles.

The use of the Shoah to describe current events is anathema to anyone who has read history. Unpleasant. History does not repeat itself but historians do. I you try and fit a model of the past into the present, save it for personal relationships, not world wide global changes. Iran was a good friend to Israel once and might be in the future. Germany has already toggled between both mind sets in the past and may well do in the future. Israel must be firmly fixed on the ISraeli-Palestinian problem and Iran can wait... at least for a while.
