Opinion of Yitzhak Rabin

[Bo]

FF, reluctantly.

I liked Barak too. But yes, FF and the best of Israeli PMs.

Do you like Peres and Shamir as well?

Do you like Peres and Shamir as well?

Are you for real?

No, he's not.

Shamir was a nice guy, for the most part.

I was answering the question as to whether you are real.

I am real and I was for real in asking that question.

[Bo]

Shamir was a Likudnik, enough said. Peres was certainly preferable to Bibi and far from the worst PM but I can't give him an overall positive grade.

How come specifically do you dislike Peres? His views and policies were very similar to Rabin's and Barak's.

[Bo]

He recently said the Armenian Genocide didn't happen and was a pretty strong advocate for the 2006 Lebanon war.

I never knew that Peres said the first part. That reduces my opinion of him, even though it wasn't that high to begin with since as PM of Israel he almost never responded to terrorism (even though he was supposed to, since protecting your own citizens is more important than always pleasing the U.S.). I agree with Peres on the Lebanon War, though, since Hezbollah needed to have the crap bombed out of them so that they would stop firing rockets into Israel and stop killing innocent Israeli civilians.
