Peres meets fellow communists

Perennial loser-cum-Israeli president Shimon Peres, a former chairman of Socialist International, met his communist colleagues from Norway and Italy. Peres lambasted democratically elected Hamas and its unnamed sponsors, though it is Israel who pushed for democratic elections in Palestine and finances the Palestinian Administration which pays tens of thousands of Hamas functionaries. Peres praised Fayyad who a few days ago clarified that any resistance is legitimate against the Jewish state.
