Awesome. The article's capture names "Peres and Livni" alike, while in the first paragraph we learn that Kerry mentioned "Hatnua Chairwoman Tzipi Livni and former President Shimon Peres". Reading on I can’t get rid of the feeling that poor Peres has gotten lost somehow. Being mentioned one more time he silently disappears from the scene, leaving behind the battlefield to Livni. She sucks up all the blame and the curses to focus on her alone. Ladies first! Men doing things like putting their political and/or personal interests ahead of those of Israel don't count - if they're existing at all. They know how to very diplomatically withdraw in the right moment and, of course, they are no cowards. Not one single exponent of the male sex would ever ever even think of working against Israel's interest - ask your PM! Thanks, gentlemen, cavaliers, for your sensitive "Ladies First!"
