Shimon Peres at Davos

Charles posted about this video of the Davos panel where Shimon Peres confronted the Turkish Prime Minister on why Israel went into Gaza. Peres comes in at about 39:30, but it’s well worth starting around the half hour mark or earlier to listen to the lies of Amr Moussa and the propaganda of Erdogan.

Peres speaks from the heart, and from experience. He tried to negotiate peace with the Palestinians decades ago and was reviled for it. Now, he defends his nation against the trumped-up charges of the world that ignores the thousands of rockets. Listen carefully to Peres’ stats: He points out that over a thousand Israelis have been killed by terror in the last eight years, a story that the world ignores when they play up recent Palestinian casualties and play down recent Israeli deaths—because the security fence stopped Hamas’ ability to blow up Israelis in restaurants, buses, and shopping centers.

Extra points for Peres for quoting the Hamas charter. I highly recommend you take the time to watch, and learn.
