“Close your eyes” to make Peace?

Recently, the president of Israel, Shimon Peres, said, "Peace is a little bit like marriage. You have to close your eyes and accept what is possible to accept." (pause for laughter and applause) "And the nation that is like a good mother telling a girl she could have a better boy, and a boy that he could have a better girl. So the mothers and the fathers themselves compromise." Arutz Sheva ; Haaretz.

His friendly, liberal, limp-noodle audience wasn't all who were laughing. Radical muslims have been laughing at this man for a long time. When you mistaken your sworn enemy for a marriage partner, "closing your eyes" does nothing but give your enemy an advantage in the effort to cause you to assume room temperature. Shimon Shimon, my my my... you are only provoking the clear-minded of Jew-dah to rage. You may be old with little to consider in your future, but the youth of Judah aren't interested in getting in bed with those who openly wish to kill them (see Palestinian Media Watch for more details).

This is NOT the only time Peres has suggested Israelis close their eyes to their enemies. Watch the documentary Farewell Israel to see how many of Israel's leaders have diplomatically and systematically weakened the Nation of Israel over the last 5 decades by giving away land for false-peace.

"They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially, saying, 'Peace, peace,' but there is no peace." - Jeremiah 6:14
