Home / Headlines / The Trap - Media Monitors Network (MMN): "The Trap
by Uri Avnery
(Wednesday April 26 2006)
'It is said that a clever person knows how to get out of a trap that a wise person would not have walked into in the first place. But when a person enters a trap with open eyes, one can only hope that he knows how to get out - and at least keep one's fingers crossed for him.'
When you see a person walking into a trap, you shout: 'Look out!' But when you see a person walking into a trap knowingly, with open eyes, what are you supposed to do?
Amir Peretz is about to become Minister of Defense and he knows that it is a trap. So why is he doing it?
His motives are clear and understandable. In order to effect a fundamental change in political and social policy, he has to become prime minister. That suits his personal ambitions, too. But in Israel, a person who wants to become prime minister needs a military calling card."
