Dr. Aaron Lerner - Peres the Chelmite President
IMRA: - July 15, 2011
“The Palestinians want solutions, not revolutions,” Peres told them
according to Laszlo Mizrahi.
Here's the problem with Mr. Peres: he suffers from a profound confusion as
to what should be the criteria for policy making.
Time and again Mr. Peres has demonstrated his tremendous skill as a
copywriter - with absolutely fantastic slogans.
When he shares these gems the reaction is typically admiration for his
verbal skills rather than any serious consideration of the underlying logic
of the slogan.
This is a man who has argued against historical evidence that his policy
recommendations are faulty with a slogan that the past doesn't matter.
He has also argued that it doesn't matter what the Arabs say.
On defense matters he has suggested that Syrian hotels on the Golan would
provide Israel more security than an IDF presence.
And this is only the tip of the Peres iceberg.
Don't get me wrong. A golden tongue is just what we need in a president.
A president, that is, that fulfills the function that a president in Israel
is supposed to fill.
Ribbon cutting ceremonies, visiting mourners, etc.]
