WHY BEAT AROUND THE BUSH (I MEAN PERETZ)?
Reader comment on item: [After Sharon:] Israeli Politics Will Revert to Its Past
Submitted by Sam Livingston (Paraguay), Jan 5, 2006 at 09:41
I wonder why an excellent, always on-the-dot political pundit, who reminds me of his father, has to call Peretz "a radical"? Why not call him what he really is? A Communist. Would you call Castro a radical too? Chavez?Please, let us stop beating around the Peretz!"

Calling Peretz a communist means knowing that is the case, which was not clear to me at the time of writing.<< Previous Comment Next Comment >>
