You think Peres, who was an top aid to Ben Gurion, who lived through and fought against all of Britain’s anti Israel deeds over the past century, who heard last week the British PM call Gaza the world largest prison (as repulsive an anti Israel lie as one can utter) was reacting in a knee jerk fashion? Really.
I think you object when Jews react to what is inflicted on them. Too bad.
I believe that Peres has a personal history with the British that explains his bigotry toward them today. I understand why he feels the way he does. However, my concern is that others are defending his statement. The Brits are like everyone else, they have their share of bigots... just as Israel and every other country has.
