“The Annapolis folly”: Israel’s leaders attempt national suicide
by Jerry Gordon, American Congress for Truth blog, November 15, 2007
This week he was in Ankara, Turkey giving a speech along with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas before the Turkish Parliament and at a dinner sponsored by President Gul. Peres was engaged in promoting the delusion of a two state solution and creation of a non-existent Palestinian State. Watch this fascinating InfoLiveTV video of his speech and meetings in Ankara, here.
His nickname in Israel among many people is ‘nahash” -meaning ’snake’ in Hebrew. That moniker started with Peres’s alleged involvement in the infamous Lavon affair in the 1950’s in Egypt when Jewish citizens there were caught in a spying episode and imprisoned. Among his few redeeming contributions to Israel was his orchestration of the French and British supply of nuclear technology for development of Israel’s nuclear reactor and weapons facility at Dimona. Now, Peres is behaving as if he was Israel’s elected Parliamentary leader engaging in foreign policy,and not faltering PM Olmert nor even Defense Minister Barak. Barak was former PM during the ill-fated Camp David 2000 and Taba 2001 Palestinian discussions. Barak suggested this week that perhaps giving back the strategic Golan heights to Syria should be put on the table at Annapolis to achieve “real peace in the Middle East”. Purportedly, Israeli PM Olmert also belives that as he has assigned an aide to engage in ’secret discussions’ with Syria, according to a report using EU foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, as an interlocutor - real ‘friend’ of Israel. Another delusion that you can negotiate anything with ‘young reckless’ Syrian President Assad. It is no wonder that a poll taken this week indicated that a majority of Israelis want Olmert and his ruling Kadimah coalition thrown out.
But all may not be lost. Israel’s Knesset voted a requirement for a super-majority on approval of any agreements reached at Annapolis involving any question of the division of Jerusalem, Israel’s sovereign capital.
Forgive me, but I consider the looming Annapolis conference not only folly but the commission of national suicide for Israel with the willing assistance of its elected leaders. Hopefully, that can be stopped cold in its tracks. As Joe Farah commented in this trenchant WorldNetDaily piece entitled, “The Annapolis folly”:
But don’t try to explain it to Peres. Don’t try to explain it to George W. Bush. Don’t try to explain it to Condoleezza Rice. Don’t try to explain it to Ehud Olmert. They’re all determined to pursue the Annapolis folly - to continue doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results.

Shalom Jerry,
Concur; it’s national suicide PLUS once Israel goes the way of South Vietnam, diaspora Jews will become subject to vile discrimination. I’m sure quotas for the businesses and professions, based on national demographics, is in someone’s attache case.
One specific point re “French and British supply of nuclear technology…”;
Cannot discuss the Brits; they had the Skybolt/Polaris deal with the US…
I’ve heard that re the intellectual property aspects of the technology vis a vis France, ie not the hardware and Entenmann bakery products: “yellow cake” stuff, it was Israeli provided. Again, the Israelis had the know-how; not the manufacturing plant. At least this is what I’ve heard over the years.

I would lave to have a poll asking those who support the government and Olmert and their policies on what basis do they hang their optimism? The 59% plus answers to most of the questions is normal and logical and can be understood in light of all of our history especially since 2000. What is beyond my scope of comprehension is that since 92 with Oslo till today how can any normal and sane person still be a true believer in the Arabs and the (sic)Processes? This blind fanaticism , yes blind fanaticism; is even more disturbing than religious
fanaticism ;in that the Ontological questions of most formal religions can’t be proved one way or another. These poor souls have invented a new type of religion based on denial. All problems for them, they believe can be reasoned out through dialogue and compromise. they cannot conceive of absolute evil and intransigence. They would rather see us all go up in smoke rather than face a reality that they inherently reject. Their minds reject that sometimes there are problems and situations that cannot be solved and that evil exists, and must be destroyed before it destroys you. These people a far more dangerous than any Taliban and Alqueda, all are fanatics ,all are true believers but these guys are already among us and would if they could hand the keys to those barbarians already knocking at our door ,and without a fight.

Yamit82:
Bingo! For quite a while now I have been of the opinion that the “religion” that has gripped the the vast numbers of secular Israelis is much more dangerous than the “religious fanatics” and the “hated settlers” (whom the Israelis of the Left-wing persuasion view as the very children of Satan, whose existence they do not accept) who stand in the way of the delusionsl dreams of Israeli leadership.
Every day brings more bad news and the latest comment by Peres regarding his preference for employed Palestinians to new olim merely boggles the mind.
Wake up, O, Israel, before your insane children sell you to your tormentors.
