To the right - Peres when he is not wearing his clown costume:

I have enlarged believed that Shimon Peres is actually onto something. You see, he understands that part of anti-Semitism is the stereotype belief that Jews are smarter than other folks. So he has decided to end anti-Semitism once and for all by proving to the world that it is not so. Peres is famous for saying at the start of “Oslo” that he was more worried about the infiltration of cable TV into Israel than by the infiltration of terrorists. He is exact - he WAS more worried by cable TV.

JERUSALEM

Israel’s 84-year-old president has a novel view on how to battle anti-Semitism: Facebook.

Shimon Peres told a group of universal students on Tuesday at Israel’s Holocaust memorial that the popular social networking site was an effective means to counter the spread of hate and incitement on the Net.

“Anti-Semitism is a disease of everyone. Persecuting minorities, discrimination, xenophobia and violence exist in many countries in the world,” he told a group representing more than 60 countries, who gathered at Yad Vashem for an universal youth conference about the Holocaust. “You have the opportunity to teach your friends about the memory of the

Holocaust so that these horrors will never be forgotten and will never be repeated.”

When asked by one of the youths what each of them could do, Peres replied: “Who here has heard about Facebook?” Nearly all in attendance raised their hands.

“You can fight anti-Semitism using social networks, like Facebook,” he continued.

He is currently behind an initiative to install the world’s first electric car network in Israel. He plus maintains an active Web site and has a blog on the Web site of the Israeli daily Haaretz.

Peres does not have a Facebook profile, but Frisch said he is considering doing it.
