Anshel Pfeffer, Haaretz correspondent: Arise Sir Shimon: Peres receives honorary knighthood from Britain's Queen
Talkback
Title: Well, Peres is happy, the Queen is happy ... Name: Morris Valentine City: Los Angeles, Calif State: USA
... and I`m happy. This is a terrific honour and acknowledgement from one head of state to another - and from one of the oldest parliamentary democracies to one of the newest. The posts on this thread thus far have been anti-British, anti-Israel, anti-monarchist, anti-Peres - or a combination of the above. Nuts to the lot of you. This is a day to celebrate a good man, a grand tradition, and two great democracies. MV
