Peres Says Peace Is Made by Closing the Eyes
(IsraelNN.com) President Shimon Peres told Diaspora Jewish leaders Monday, “You have to close your eyes” to make peace. He also reasoned that a peace agreement with the Palestinian Authority will encourage Sunni Muslims against Ahmadinejad.
Speaking at the annual General Assembly of the United Jewish Committees, he said that “making peace is a little bit like marriage [and] you have to close your eyes and accept what is possible to accept.” His audience laughed and applauded.
He also explained his reasoning why surrendering Judea and Samaria to the PA and establishing a new Arab state in their place would have a domino effect on peace in the Middle East.
Iran is the only regional country that wants to control the Middle East, President Peres stated. He reasoned that a peace pact with the PA would show Sunni Muslims it does not have to accept Shi’ite dominance by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s faction.
He wants “to run the Middle East, in the name of religion, the octogenarian president continued.” The Persians in Iran are, all told, 35 million people. The Iranians are 70 million, half of them minorities, and half are Persians. And it is the Persians who are the producers of the ayatollahs and the fanatic people. They want to control 350 million people [of the Middle East], 90 percent of whom are Sunni.”
I do believe it will have a domino effect. One by one, they’ll know what they already know. Terrorism works. He is delusional if he thinks it will make the Sunnis hate Israel any less.
