Shimon Peres says Israel's enemies have turned to delegitimization

"To those who today call on us to return to Poland, or to Germany, or to Casablanca, our answer is this – we have returned to our ancient homeland that existed before the establishment of Poland and Germany, and before the founding of Christianity and Islam," Peres

But the problem, Peres, is that if you the Anglo Jew believe that Palestine is your ancestral homeland, so do the Ugandan, Chinese, Yemeni Jews. Point your finger to those on the picture you believe are the original Jews? You can't, can you? There is no shame in admitting to your Khazaric origins, the shame is in denying it.

"Now, efforts are being conducted to break us with political force, with delegitimization," Peres said. "[Like the military efforts] these efforts also need to fail."

"To those who today call on us to return to Poland, or to Germany, or to Casablanca, our answer is this – we have returned to our ancient homeland that existed before the establishment of Poland and Germany, and before the founding of Christianity and Islam," Peres said.

Peres said that achieving peace is the "vision" as well as the "pressing need" of the Jewish people.

"Of course, there is a price for peace," he said. "But delaying peace only raises its price and creates space for political pressure on Israel."

The World Zionist Organization Congress opened on Tuesday at the International Convention Center in Jerusalem.

At present, congress delegates represent roughly in equal numbers Israeli and U.S. Jews as well as Jews from the rest of the world.

The Shas party, however, is participating in the congress for the first time and is seeking to increase the number of Israeli representatives at the expense of Diaspora Jewry, particularly Americans.

Shas also submitted proposals to change the WZO constitution; one would replace the aspiration for a state based on "mutual respect for the multifaceted Jewish people" with one based on "love of the Jewish people" and "an exemplary society rooted in the vision of the prophets" with a society based on "the Torah of Israel."
