Shas to back Peres for President


peres cover.jpgAt a meeting in the home of Chacham Ovadia Yosef, it was declared that the 12 Shas MK’s were to place their support behind Shimon Peres – for president of Israel. The Jerusalem Post reported that Chacham Ovadia stated that his decision was made “out of appreciation of [Peres’] years of service on the behalf of Judaism.”

    Shas party 1. does not want to deal with a scorned MK, which Peres will be if he loses for the 4th time 2. Peres at his age probably has a diminished yetzer hara – and therefore more trustworthy. Shas party will once again make the deciding vote, and regret it afterwards and ask mechila (Chacham Yosef asked mechila from the people of Emanuel for supporting Oslo).

  2. If Peres is in, then Pollard will stay in!!
    Peres who helped to be JP in jail the first time, will NEVER bring up the issue with US if he becomes the Pres..

  3. Some Gedolim held Peres to be a Moser, for snitching to the Goyim about Sharon in the first Lebanon war. Rav Shach than declared that Peres will never win any election!

  4. The position of president is largely if not completely titular. maybe its a good idea to get him “out” of polotics like they did with ezer weitzmann year ago.
    He just embarass himself all of the world like weitzmann
