Well thought out dissertation

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2005

This book was written by Prime Minister Shimon Peres and published shortly after the signing of the Oslo Peace Accord. With this sign or peace and hope, Mr. Peres wrote on what it would take to make the Middle East a new economic center. Where all lived in prospertity and peace.

His vision, which at this time has not progressed very far, is based on that of the European Communities. And the work involved at the end of WWII which brought them to the 1990's. Where the European "Economic " Community is today. But Mr. Peres explains that if all the countires of the middle east would work toward a common goal of peace and economic unity, that they could be a thriving, propserous community of the world within twenty years.

This book shows me that Israel was ready in 1993 to do what was required to make the whole Middle Eastern region prosperious for all the peoples, regardless of ethnic or religious backgrounds. And that if reason would prevail, they were willing to help make this happen.

This book belongs in every major library. And should be read by any student of politics.

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2011

An outstanding book of vision. A dream of peace in an area of the world that only shares hate. It is interesting that other reviewers condemn the book because the vision has, as yet, not come true. I'm sure Peres wouldn't be surprised that a vision of perfection is not going to be totally adopted in an imperfect world. The book is about a goal to be strived for, worked for, but probably never reached. But each step in that direction is a step closer to a better world.
Unfortunately, since the book was written both Israelites and Palestinians have not yet tired of killing and being killed. Because both sides still enjoy killing and being killed the vision of this book will remain just that, a vision. When the time comes that both sides tire of the current conflict of hate this will be a great map to the future of a peaceful and prosperous eastern Mediterranean. Read it as a vision and not as a reachable goal.
Some people see things as they are and ask, "Why?"...Others dream things that never were and ask, "Why not?". This is a book that asks, "Why not?"

Simon Peres is a man of vision. That his ideas did not take hold is not a failure on his part. The region is not ready for peace until more men and women living in the area are ready to embrace the ideas set forth by this statesman and leader. Remember it was his generation of leaders on the Israeli and Arab side that brought a lasting peace to the Middle East. I am referring to the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.

Really?

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2013

It's not his book `The new Middle East' where Shimon Peres drivels about a fantasy land where Arabs love Jews and `allow' us to thrive in our `land', you know, from Hedera-to-Gedera land, also referred to as peacenowland. No, that is not his claim to fame.

Shimon is a diplomatic paramedic. He can revive any dead or deadly deal and terrorist as long as he thinks will help him propel his fantasies. It all started back when Israel engaged the PLO in Lebanon in the early 80's. It was a difficult war. Muslims implemented suicide bombers for the first time and the body bags with young Jewish soldiers kept on coming. As careful as Israel wanted to be in regards to the Christian Lebanese civilians, it had no choice but to bomb Beirut until the rats where forced out of their hiding places. Thousands of so-called Palestinians surrendered including arch-terrorist Yasser Arafat. They cut a deal with Israel and were placed on boats and shipped out to Tunisia who took them in with open arms. Arafat, broke and fractioned was about to disappear forever into the annals of history as a dirty terrorist who accomplished nothing but the spilling of innocent blood. But hold on! Our paramedic had a brilliant idea. What if we bring Arafat back to Israel, build an army for him, give him autonomy over parts of Israel, and seek international support? Shimon's light bulb went on so bright and hot that it toasted whatever brain cells he may once had. And off he went, accompanied by Yossi Beilin -the guy with the forked tongue, Uri Savir -some leftist nut job, and a few other delinquents. Off to where? Tunisia, of course!

Yithak Rabin was Prime Minister and there was a law in Israel that forbade anyone from engaging in diplomatic affairs with members of any terrorist organization - that included the PLO. But Peres is above the law, of course. Well, you know how the story continued. Rabin was killed, Arafat died of AIDS and the terrorists Peres armed became our worst nightmare and have since murdered thousands of Jews. Still, Israelis are so brainwashed they love watching Shimon at their parades and celebrations. You see tears in the eyes of the spectators as if their own grandpa was there, donning a nylon yarmulke, smiling for the cameras, representing the entire Jewish nation. His book is as shameful as his life has been.
