Classic - scroll the JP headlines and you see these two blurbs, almost back to back. Might I suggest that if you are Israel's Defense Minister and you are waxing eloquent at a stupid party about a possible new dialogue with Syria, while a German FM is boycotting Syria for threatening your homeland, YOU MIGHT NOT BE QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB!!!!!!!
If Israel hangs with this Leftist crew, they're done. And if they aren't going to defend themselves, it isn't America's job, either. A Defense Minister who does not understand your enemy isn't a defense minister. He's an invitation to another holocaust given current trends.
Speaking at a Bar Mitzvah party, Peretz said that a wider political process can now be started which could include renewed negotiations with the Palestinians, and even contact with Syria.
Germany's foreign minister canceled a trip to Syria on Tuesday in protest of a speech by Syrian President Bashar Assad, who praised Hizbullah and warned Israel.
Oh, you just realised this? When Peretz took the defense ministry, most people breathed a sigh of relief, because at least he didn't have his hands on an economic portfolio where he could do real damage. It was assumed that he would accept whatever advice his military attaches gave him.
