Maybe someone needs to remind him why he left Belarus in the first place.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

He is a strange character but on one level I can understand what he is doing. He is saying to the Russians and the world: "We were foreigners in your land. Now we are back home."
No, Aparatchik. Peres' exact words are "I came here to say thank you. Thank you for a thousand years of hospitality.”
Peres is wicked wretch. Just bury your past and learn nothing from it:
" Generally I have very little patience for history. I am bored with history, for the simple reason that you cannot change it. You can analyze it, and people say if you don’t learn the past, you will repeat the mistakes of the past. Okay, learn the past — then you will not repeat the mistakes of the past, you will make new mistakes." (Peres interview, The Jerusalem Post, July 12, 2001)
For a compilation of Peres blather throughout the ages, see What Shimon Says, suitable for downloading and endless future referencing.
My link above failed. Here it is again:
What Shimon Says
Hey schmuck, the Russians had no Jews until the partition of Poland in 1780.
Thanks, Shy Guy, for the link to that article. I read as much of that as I could stand. Peres has stated some, um, remarkable viewpoints and outlook for a President of Israel. We can't all be highly educated intellectual giants like Abba Eban, but neither should we be proud anti-intellectuals, as apparently is Peres.
