Peres’ war criminal history

 

Don’t honor Peres’ war criminal history, Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel 9 November 2007
… Peres is on record for being responsible for other war crimes, from building colonies on occupied Arab land to endorsing a policy of extra-judicial killings, which murders Palestinians and other Arabs without the benefit of a trial or, in fact, any proof other than that provided by Israeli Intelligence, the Shin Bet. He also supports the siege on Gaza, the destruction of its airport, and the elaborate system of checkpoints all across the West Bank. He defends the demolition of Palestinian homes, and he justified the atrocities committed by the Israeli army in its recent war on Lebanon in 2006…

Tell Oxford not to create lecture series in Peres’ honor, Badil 13 November 2008
 
Peres has been personally responsible for numerous crimes and human rights Breaches over the past 60 years, a small fraction of which is mentioned below:
• He played a leading personal role in the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Palestine as the man responsible for purchasing weapons and supplies for the Haganah forces and its militias.
• He is the father of the Israeli nuclear project, playing the leading role in establishing the Dimona nuclear reactor, and thus introducing nuclear weapons for the first time into the Middle East.
• He played a critical role in launching the 1956 tripartite aggression (Suez crisis) against Egypt, a war that caused thousands of innocent casualties.
• He was implicated in the Lavon affair, a terrorist bomb-planting campaign against Egyptian, British and American targets that was carried on in Egypt.
• He was an enthusiastic supporter of the settlers/colonists that established the early settlements in the West Bank in the 1970’s, playing a role in creating one of the biggest obstacles to future peace.
• He was responsible, as the Israeli Prime minister at the time, for the Qana massacre of 1996, during which Israel intentionally bombed a known UN site, killing and injuring hundreds of Lebanese civilians.
• During his tenure as Israeli prime minister, he was responsible for a vast expansion in illegal Israeli settlements constructed over occupied Palestinian lands, and thus played a major role in derailing the prospects for peace in the Middle East.
• He was Foreign Minister in a cabinet (Sharon’s) that inflicted death, injury, and imprisonment on tens of thousands of Palestinians during the most recent intifada. Peres voted on many of the decisions that caused this dark outcome and supported without reserve Ariel Sharon’s militaristic and oppressive approach.
• He currently presides over a state that is establishing one of the most comprehensive apartheid systems in human history (using walls, trenches, checkpoints, electrified wire fences and brute armed force).
• He is the head of the state that currently besieges and starves the people of Gaza, effectively turning that occupied territory into the world’s largest prison.
• A master of Orwellian newspeak, he is known as the Israeli state’s foremost spokesperson. He vigorously defends his state’s policies and masks them with constant references to peace, alas a peace whose essence is war and occupation.
 
From Israeli Citizens to Belgian Citizens: Shimon Peres is Not a man of Peace He is Guilty Of War Crimes !

... One of the main Israeli politicians behind these decades of oppression, racism and discrimination, has been Israeli President Shimon Peres. Mr Peres is not a man of peace, and he does not speak in our names!
- Mr. Peres has been a member of, and a senior propagandist for, Israeli governments which have used cluster munitions, flechette artillery shells, and white phosphorus bombs in densely populated civilian areas in Gaza and Lebanon. Governments who have also increased the
number of settlements in the OPT and imposed separate legal systems for Israeli settlers in the OPT and their Palestinian neighbors.
- As the Minister of Defense in Yitzhak Rabin’s first government, Mr. Peres was one of those who sided with the settlers of Sebastya, some of the first settlers in the West Bank, in 1975. Later on in that year, he planted the first tree in the new settlement of Ofra, and was on the governmental committee which oversaw the establishment of the settlement of Ariel.
- In September 1986, Mr. Peres authorized the kidnapping and torture of an Israeli citizen in Rome, whistle blower Mordechai Vanunu, who objects to Israeli nuclear power a clear violation of international law. Mr. Peres was also one of the architects of Israel’s military Nuclear Centre in
Dimona, a project which has instigated a dangerous nonconventional
arms race in the Middle East.

- He lent moral and military support to South Africa’s brutal apartheid regime, including its nuclear project.
- As Prime Minister, in April 1996, and as part of Israel’s “Operation Grapes of Wrath”, Shimon Peres authorized the mass bombing of villages in Southern Lebanon, aimed at creating a wave of refugees flooding Beirut.
- Shimon Peres is not a man of peace. He is directly responsible for war crimes!
 
Peres: A perennial loser, URI AVNERY Saturday 22 June 2013
… he allowed right-wing extremists to establish the first settlement in the heart of the West Bank — Kedumim. He has rightly been called the father of the settlement movement, as he was earlier called the father of the atom bomb. Rabin coined a phrase that stuck to him: “Tireless backstabber.”
