They're both right!
As the Labor party primary heats up with 'defense' minister Barak - whom I used to refer to as "Arrogant Ehud" when he was Prime Minister in 2000 and 2001 - has been stressing his experience as a reason to vote for him as Labor party leader. Peretz raised a part of his experience that Barak would like to forget: Ehud barach (Ehud fled). Barak started this fight:
The Second Lebanon War was a failure, said former prime minister Ehud Barak on Thursday, adding that Israel was, nevertheless, "still the strongest country that lies between Libya and Iran."Peretz hit back:
"When the dust clouds settle after the Winograd Committee's conclusions... one lesson will be learnt: In the state of Israel, there is no substitute for experience," Barak continued during a speech he delivered to pre-army recruits.
In response, associates of Peretz blamed Barak for the strengthening of Hizbullah. "The man who took the IDF out of Lebanon in a unilateral retreat and without any agreement involving an international force, is the one responsible for turning a blind eye."Barak also proved the worthlessness of his 'experience':
"Israel's citizens understand the solution [for the Israel-Palestinian conflict] is the creation of two states. We are here and they are there," he said.Yeah, right. And they keep shooting kassams at us....
