| Yaalon Likens 'Peace Now' to a Virus |
| 2009-08-20 |
| Footage of a speech by Minister of Strategic Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon (Likud) which was released Wednesday night caused a stir Yaalon named the foreign-sponsored leftist group Peace Now as another such "elite," and termed it a "virus." Choice quotations "any time politicians bring out the dove of peace, the army has to clean it's mess." (my translation) "The media is biased... Unfortunately, there are those, one could call them elites, who influence the Israeli public discourse in a warped, dishonest, manipulative and misleading manner," "We're in a situation where there are centers of power with authority, but no responsibility. This is not democracy... " "We took the Jews out of Gaza, but we did not disengage. I think we should disengage, the sooner the better. No electricity and water, no fruit, no vegetables, no cash." |
