| Peres: Israel has to Return Palestinian Lands | |
| 2004-02-25 | |
Israel Labor Party Leader and former Prime Minister Shimon Peres said yesterday that Israel has to return every inch of Palestinian lands. At a dinner last night in the U.S., Peres said Israel has no spiritual right either to the lands of the Gaza Strip or the Palestinian people. Peres stated that Israel should return all the land that it took over in the 1967 Middle East war and added, "If you keep 10 percent of the land, you continue 100 percent of the conflict." He noted that Israel should provide a state for the Palestinians in order for them to maintain their existence. Peres added however that this is not an easy thing to do and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is having a hard time with the issue. "Unless Israel withdraws from these lands completely, disaster will be waiting at the corner," concluded Peres.

| #6 Iyot,there will be no peace until the Paleos accept that the State of Israel has a right to exist.That wiill not happen until Arrafart,Hezb,Hamas and the rest are destroyed. Peace will not happen until all the Islamic Countrys give-up the idea of Israilie Genocide. Finish that damn wall! |

| #5 Peres is right. Return every inch of land captured in the 1967 war so that this conflict can be finally resolved, 100%. ...and then of course, the Arabs can resume the old conflict from 1956, until the Israelis roll back to the original partition plan boundaries of 1947. Then the Arabs can resume the conflict against the very existance of Israel as a soveriegn state, and pursue their barely concealed true intentions: Push the jews back into the sea. What's beyond comprehension is that Peres served in the IDF, in fact he was there before there was even an Israeli state. He fought in 1948, he was the head of the navy! How can you live in the land for it's entire short existance, watch wave after wave of unreasoning hatred crash upon your every border - from every neighboring country - and still publicly pronounce that somehow this is all Israel's fault, and can be solved instantly by returning to the pre-1967 borders, which were themselves about to overrun by thousands of ululating Arabs? Un-be-F**king-lievable.... |

| #4 Peres is right. Not returning the lands occupied in 1967 will never solve the conflict. I do not see what is so clueless about that statements; |

| #3 You saw what happened when Israel, willingly and peacefully, pulled out of Lebanon. The islamopukes saw it as a VICTORY!! Their "brave struggle" had driven Israel from Lebanon. AND THE ATTACKS ESCALATED. THEY CONTINUE TODAY! This is exactly what will happen if Israel gives up ANY territory to the palestinians. The pals will see it as the first step to driving the JEWS into the sea. Their STATED GOAL is the total destruction of the state of Israel. Any concessions are seen as weakness. What about Oslo? Israel gave away damn near everything to the palestinians and Israel is still living today, with the homicide bombings in their cities from the resultant "intifada". shimon peres is a slimey little man. His advice is just what Israel DOES NOT need. |

| #2 It's amazing how Shimon Peres can remain so hopelessly clueless, even after it has been pretty evident to any sane person that any official that pushes a dovish position in the face of terrorism only emboldens the enemy. |
