Time to stop Slimy Shimon Peres:President Peres’ endorsement of dangerous Saudi peace initiative must be resisted
In recent weeks we’ve been hearing time and again about the “Saudi Initiative” or “Arab Peace Initiative,” partly thanks to the Palestinian Authority, which bothered to publicize it with an ad posted in Israeli newspapers and decorated with the flags of Arab states. Meanwhile, President Shimon Peres has been declaring, both in Israel and abroad, that the Saudi peace initiative constitutes a basis for a diplomatic process.
Those who review the plan can clearly see that the Arabs are not renouncing any demand, including the right of return of millions of Arabs into the tiny State of Israel. During the Camp David conference in the summer of 2000, it was Mahmoud Abbas who strongly objected to renouncing the right of return and Temple Mount, thereby limiting Arafat’s room to maneuver.
Abbas and Palestinian Authority officials are acting in line with the advice of excellent strategic consultant Ahmad Tibi. This is the same consultant who also accompanied Arafat during the joyful Oslo years, and even managed to turn him into a peace-loving Santa Claus. When figures such as Benny Begin pointed to Arafat’s Arabic-language speeches, where he spoke about “temporary agreements” until it would be possible to take over the entire Land of Israel, Peres dismissed them as “peace refuseniks,” until it was ultimately proven that Arafat indeed tirelessly aspired to destroy the State of Israel in line with the famous “phase by phase” plan.
However, Abbas and the Kings Abdullah (both in Saudi Arabia and in Jordan) are again resorting to the same old sweet talk, promising us a “peace of the brave” in a new honey trap.
According to the initiative, Arab states will establish normal ties with Israel in return to a withdrawal to the 1967 borders, the establishment of a Palestinian state with its capital in Jerusalem, and a resolution of the refugee problem in line with UN Resolution 194, which calls for the return of all 1948 refugees into the State of Israel
