Peres, always the one to open his big mouth when least needed.
I seem to remember Barak floating the idea that the return of E. Jerusalem was on the table. Hence his blow out loss in the elections.
IMHO, world Jewry is united in their belief that Jerusalem belongs to Israel and will never be returned tothe Arabs. Prior to '67, Jews couldn't even get to the Western Wall to pray. Houses were built up against the Wall, with garbage thrown in the space between the houses and the Wall.
Today every Jew that visits Israel, be they Orthodox, Conservative or Reform, visits the Western Wall, in E. Jerusalem.
Perez is a self-hating Jew that is deluded in his belief that there is even a remote possibility of a durable peace with the Arabs. He is one of the greatest threats that Israel still faces and proves it with idiotic pronouncements such as this.
