Al-Ahram Weekly | Region | The Peretz breakthrough But the 11th-hour appearance of Amir Peretz at the 12 November rally marking the 10th anniversary of the murder of Yitzak Rabin transformed what had been a threnody of loss into an electric message of hope. Throughout his campaign, Peretz vowed to pull Labour out of the coalition with Likud, replacing its policies of neo- liberalism at home and unilateralism abroad with a renewed commitment to social justice and peace, including among those "second Israel" constituencies long spurned by Labour. Then it should be clearer whether Peretz is the Israeli partner the Palestinians have long sought or whether he is another false messiah in the mould of Rabin, Barak and Peres. weekly.ahram.org.eg /2005/769/re3.htm   (854 words)
