Activists on Twitter react to the death of the war criminal dubbed “man of peace”:
Shimon Peres gives hope to leaders everywhere that if they too can grow very old the world might forget their crimes.

Peres perfectly represents “Israel”: all “peace” marketing on the surface, but his real story is unabated racism, ethnic cleansing and war.

Shimon Peres has died. He joins the (long) list of Israeli military & political leaders who evaded accountability for their crimes.

For Israelis #Peres was a founding father. For Palestinians & Lebanese a war criminal ( Qana), settlement builder.

Wearing a suit and talking slowly may made him look a 'statesman' but behind that Shimon Peres was an architect of ethnic cleansing & terror

Maale Addumim, Israel's largest WB settlement & single largest geographic impediment to 2ss, took root when Peres was running occupation.

That moment when you murder, occupy, oppress, enforce apartheid and some people still call you a peace done. Shimon Peres in a butcher. pic.twitter.com/F9YmR4Wyq1

#ShimonPeres on the Palestinians in 2012: "They are self-victimising. They victimise themselves. They are a victim of their own mistakes..."

On 18/4/96, Israeli forces killed 106 Lebanese civilians in the Qana massacre. Shimon Peres was PM. Later, he said: "I am at peace with it."

"Shimon Peres, an Israeli founding father" = an administrator of mass expulsion, village destruction & massacre of indigenous Palestinians

Thought of the day: What is the maximum number of innocent people one needs to massacre before losing the title "man of peace"? #ShimonPeres

Shimon Peres was no peacemaker. I’ll never forget the sight of pouring blood and burning bodies at Qana https://t.co/0h0r8SxpKN
