Israeli President Shimon Peres Applauds Hollywood's Influence on Youth

The 1994 Nobel Peace Price winner told a DreamWorks crowd Friday that they come
from
"the world of the dream."
Israeli President Shimon Peres paid a
celebratory visit to DreamWork Animation's Valley studios Friday,
where studio chief Jeffrey Katzenberg presented him
with original art work from the film The Prince of Egypt.
In a short address, Peres reminded the crowd of the contributions
the Jewish people had made to Hollywood's founding, spoke of how
today "children believe the actors more than the politicians," and
said that in politics -- as opposed to film -- "what happens after
the happy ending is so demanding and confusing."
Hollywood's creative workers, he said, "come
from the greatest world in our life: The world of the dream."
Following his remarks to the DreamWorks audience, Peres lunched
with Katzenberg, Michael Oren, Billy Crystal, Michael
Lynton, Arnon Milchan, Ron Meyer, Leslie Moonves, Peter Rice, Rich
Ross, Tom Rothman, Haim Saban, Steven Spielberg, Barbra Streisand,
Marvin Hier, David Siegel and Andy Spahn.
Peres’ DreamWorks visit came midway through a four-day trip to
Los Angeles. Thursday night a crowd of 1,400 Jewish community and
other civic leaders—including Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa
and Richard Sandler, chairman of the
Jewish Federation—welcomed the 88-year-old president to the Beverly
Hilton. The evening’s highlight was an hour-long onstage
conversation between Peres, who shared the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize
for his part in working out the Oslo Accords with the Palestinians,
and television journalist Campbell Brown.
Peres downplayed any speculation about a split between the Obama
Administration and the Israeli government about how to handle the
threat of Iran’s nuclear ambitions. “While everybody is looking for
differences, the basis is common and agreed,” Peres said. “If we
have to choose, let’s start with the nonviolent with no war
beginning, but saying very clearly that all other options are on the
table. . .I don’t think anyone would suggest you start by shooting.”
The Israeli president—the world’s oldest serving non-monarchial
head of state—was generally upbeat about the long-term prospects for
Middle Eastern peace. He told Brown that, “the problem of the Middle
East is poverty more than politics” and that while what has come to
be called the Arab spring may pose short-term complications for the
Jewish state, the process ultimately would bring those countries
culturally closer to the West.
Before arriving in Los Angeles, Peres stopped in Menlo Park to
visit the headquarters of Facebook. Israel, despite its diminutive
size, has emerged as something of a digital super power, a
development Peres encouraged during one of his three terms as the
country’s prime minister. During that period he became his country’s
first leader to establish a web site for his office. In Menlo Park
this week, he launched his personal Facebook page with the company’s
founder, Mark Zuckerberg, as his first friend.
Peres said he hopes to use the page to create a dialogue with Arabs
around the world.
In an online conversation with Facebook chief operating officer
Sheryl Sandberg, the president said, "The matter of
peace is no longer the business of governments but the business of
people. Today, the people are governing the governments. And when
they begin to talk to each other, they are surprised. We should be
friends."
In a subsequent question and answer session with Facebook
employees, Peres told an engineer what he could do to promote peace:
"What you are doing is convincing people they don't have reason to
hate.”
After observing the Jewish Sabbath Saturday, Peres will breakfast
Sunday morning with a group of Los Angeles’ Latino and Jewish
leaders.
Though this visit is the Israeli head of state’s first to Los
Angeles since he began his seven-year presidential term in 2007,
Peres actually has a personal tie to Hollywood. Actress
Lauren Bacall is his first cousin. Both were born with the
family name Persky, though Peres’ parents Hebraized their surname
when they immigrated to Palestine and Bacall changed hers when she
went on the stage.
Radio Islams comments
Again black on white what we all now, this time conceded by
arch-Zionist and the official representative of World Jewry's
colonial state of Israel, Shimon Peres:
"children believe the actors more than the politicians"
Hence the visit by the Israeli leader to the nexus of the Jewish-led
dream factory - to influence the influencers.
It has to be remembered that Peres is a man with
blood on his hands, most notable as the "Butcher of Qana"
when he as then acting Prime Minister of Israel
launched the Israeli attack on Lebanon in 1996, where Israel's
killing of more than 100 civilians in the UN base in the village of
Qana became the murderous climax.
Thus it is truthfully interesting to see such a on the spot
revealing headline as the one presented by the The Hollywood
Reporter: "Israeli President Shimon Peres Applauds Hollywood's
Influence on Youth"
If this guy - a war criminal and racist - applauds this
influence, we really have a problem, and on a Global scale.
Anything he applauds and endorses we should treat with uttermost
interest!
Thus his alliance with Facebook-Jew Mark
Zuckerberg and the fact that Peres
launched his Facebook page with Zuckerberg as
"his first friend" should be made known to the
general, non-Jewish, public.
Among the people Peres met we have the two moguls
Arnon Milchan and
Haim
Saban, that we suggest that you study in the links provided.
