Talkback
Title:Does Shimon Peres deserve us?

There is so much that needs to be fixed with Israel and the Jewish people, that I can hardly congratulate Peres on what now seems his frontrunner status. He has been trying his best for over 60 years, and what do we have around him? A stealing, corrupt and cynical selfish bunch of people who only use politics for their own gain, unlike Peres. He seems simply too big for all of us. Anyway, he is my dreamcandidate, restoring some of my trust in Israel`s choices. Let`s pray he is not being deceived again!
