Anti-Messianic is also Messianic

I found a good comment to a blog post about Shimon Peres, by Yaak.

Interesting that there were 12-year intervals between these 3 errors: 1981-1993-2005.

Looking back 12 years earlier, in 1969 was when Shimon Peres was first appointed as a government minister, but it took Gad Yaakobi giving up his appointment so that Peres won't get angry at him for that to happen. He essentially lost the first of many elections in that year.

Looking back 12 years further, it was in 1957 that Peres was instrumental in signing the deal with France to help build the Dimona nuclear reactor. So he has one thing going for him. However, in that same year, Moshe Sharet declared about Shimon Peres, "I will tear Keriah on the State of Israel if I see him sitting on his chair as a minister in Israel."

Interesting that all these years were years of Chesed. Of course, this is not so surprising. Shimon Peres is the quintesssential anti-Messianic figure in the Israeli political scene. And anti-Messianic is also Messianic.
