Levy again
Another piece worth reading (even after a week) from Gideon Levy in Ha'aretz. I hadn't heard this quote before:
I remember feeling a certain tentative hope when Peretz defeated Shimon Peres for the Israeli Labor Party leadership.
Israel once again is not distinguishing between a justified war against Hezbollah and an unjust and unwise war against the Lebanese nation. The camouflage concealing the war's real goals was ripped off by this defense minister, who says what he means: "Nasrallah is going to get it so bad that he will never forget the name Amir Peretz," he bragged, like a typical bully. Now at least we know that Israel went to war so that the name Amir Peretz is never forgotten. It's the war for the perpetuation of the name Peretz and the blurring of Dan Halutz's failures. And to hell with the cost.
I remember feeling a certain tentative hope when Peretz defeated Shimon Peres for the Israeli Labor Party leadership.
