Pigs can fly! Shimon Peres says he was 'wrong' to back Gaza expulsion - sort of
This may be a flying pigs moment.
Shimon Peres, the architect and number one proponent of the 'New Middle East' admitted today that the Gaza expulsion was 'wrong.' President Shimon Peres made a surprising statement Wednesday, saying that while he supported the 2005 Gaza pullout, he now sees himself "as one of the people who were wrong. We should have done things differently."Unfortunately, to admit that the expulsion was wrong is still too much for Peres:
He spoke at a Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations meeting in Jerusalem.
A subsequent statement made by the President's Office later said that Peres did not mean he was against the disengagement in hindsight, but rather against the way the move was carried out and the lack of political and security coordination with the Palestinian side at the time.I don't get this. The entire point was that there was no way to reach agreement with the 'Palestinian' side, that the Left was losing patience because the 'Palestinians' weren't willing to accept their gift, and therefore Israel was going ahead and expelling all the Jews and pulling out unilaterally. To say that it should have been done differently is like saying it should not have been done at all.
Hmmm.

Just a thought. Perhaps he thought there should have been a "crawl-out" instead of a pullout".
Shimon Peres is wrong.
Everything about him.
Out of our lives already, treacherous destroyer of Israel!

It should never have been done. I'm still waiting for schlemiel Peres to apologize for inflicting Arafat and the PLO upon Israel.
When pigs fly!
