After reading another rubbish nonsense from Dennis Ross, I was left thinking his accusations against Arafat. There was something familiar in them and then I understood what troubled me in them. The accusations that Dennis Ross hurles against Arafat brought to my mind Shimon Peres. He´s really more the kind of person Ross accuses Arafat of being. One could say that Shimon Peres has failed in everything in the last 30 years and somehow that hasn´t been able to send him out of the political stage. He´s now again the leader of Labor Party and contender for the office of prime minister. He´s a political survivor who rises from his political grave like Dracula in an old Hammer movie and after he´s yet again defeated, you know that his return can´t be far ahead. In reality, of course, one reason for this is the sad state of the Israeli Labor Party - the return of another political corpse, Ehud Barak, is another sign of this - which, like the Democrats in the US, seems to be unable to gain power again in the foreseable future.
