I must say I'm shocked--shocked!
Update: What is Shimon Peres?:
Peres is a dreamer, and what follows is the crux of the matter. During the Q and A, in which, by the way, it was plain that any dissenting voice would be deemed mutinous, Peres was asked, by a daring man in a yarmulke, if he, Peres, needed to ask forgiveness during the upcoming Holy Days for inflicting the Oslo Accords upon the Jewish State.I think I'd lose the "perhaps."
The man who would be prime minister twice responded, without pause, that he was right. The Oslo Accords were a good thing. Better yet, Yasser Arafat was a prince (my interpretation), for Arafat was first to promise to recognize Israel, its right to exist, and its right to boundaries suitable to its sovereignty and self-defense. Yes, Arafat promised.
Nothing from Peres about Arafat's failure to keep his promises. Not a word about this most essential part of any agreement. Nothing from Peres that Arafat more than reneged, but that he launched a war of terror upon Israel that persists to this day, a terror visited upon Israel while the ink was still wet on those Oslo Accords. Peres, then, remembers the promises that were made, but forgets the promises that were dashed. Perhaps a dangerous and insensitive oversight, even for a dreamer.
