From Amos Oz says Peres ‘changed before my eyes’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli author Amos Oz says Peres, whom he describes as a friend, changed his political views dramatically over the years.
“My friend Shimon had a very rare human quality: He had the ability to change.
“When I met Peres in the early 70s, he was in my eyes a banal hawk. Supporting settlers, a settler lover, a security man, the more land the better, the more power the better. He changed before my eyes … into an enthusiastic and stubborn believer in Israeli-Palestinian peace and Israeli-Arab peace,” Oz says.
