"PM Olmert backs vice Premeier Perese for President " Ed. This is neither significant or
surprisnig. Both Olmert and Peres are insignificant in the Jewish & Israeli history.
And it is not so suprising that both are
suffering from sliding fortunes in their political lives. All those who made Kadima
are like their party made up a `monoument of
curruption` in Israel politics; a short cut to
naked power.
The only thing that Peres will leave for
posterity a great bundle of files testifing
for a record of failures and unfinished talks.
I can`t help to think that even his lonely star
achievement in Checkoslovakia during the War of Independence resulted in the introduction of
Soviet & East European arms to the Arab Middle
East. In fact Abdual Nassar took over from
where Shimon left.Bringing deadly Soviet Weapons to the area.
Add the other Big Gan; Arafat and his band of
criminals, brought to Israels doors..
That is how I read shame Shimon in my book.
