important and urgent than it has ever been. The world has changed, and from what I read and sense almost all parties in ME are keen on Peace now. "...Born out of vicious terrorism against Britain, it [Israel] has continued in the same way ever since, aided by huge doses of self delusion and the bizarre belief that the land is historically their's..." It was Britain that subjected the Jews to vicious terrorism during WW2 - by preventing European Jewish refugees from entering Palestine and by sabotaging other efforts to provide safe haven for them. The British were prime facilitators of the German's extermination policy, since they had it in their power to save millions of victims and they chose not to. Considering the monstrous harm that they did to them, the British were treated very leniently by the Jews after the war. There is nothing bizarre about the Jewish attachment to the Land of Israel. It is the historical homeland of the Jewish people. Today, in Israel, we have a people whose language, religion and culture are essentially the same as those of the inhabitants of the land in ancient times. They are also in large measure their biological descendents. There are few Europeans who can claim as much. By the way, Mr. Peres, if you read these comments, people like YesMunster or Vermine aren't "Jews," "Holocaust survivors" etc. They're just, put plainly, sick Jew-haters who take advantage of Guardian's own antisemitic tendencies in order to promote their lies
