Arise Sir Shimon: Peres receives honorary knighthood from Britain's Queen

[Nostalgia]

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II awarded President Shimon Peres honorary knighthood on Thursday in an official ceremony in Buckingham Palace in London.

Peres met the queen at the ceremony after which the two held a private meeting, where they reportedly discussed the Middle East in general, and Iran's nuclear program and abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit in particular.

Peres will not be able to use the title "sir," as he is not a British national.

Peres also met with Prince Charles on Thursday, and he asked for his help in securing access for the International Red Cross to kidnapped Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit, held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip for over two years.

The International Red Cross has not visited Gilad Shalit, and have not been allowed to make an assessment of his condition.

The president didn't come to Buckingham Palace empty-handed. He presented the Queen with a letter written by her father, the late King George the VI, in which he recognizes the independence of the State of Israel.

Peres will later meet with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, who returned Wednesday from a visit to Israel, Lebanon and Syria. Peres is also due to meet Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who will host a dinner in his honor.

The British Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommended Peres be awarded knighthood despite the queen's reluctance to grant such titles to foreign citizens.

Recent reports say Prince Charles refused to visit Israel because of the political situation in the region, leading to speculation that officials intend to knight Peres to soothe tensions.

Peres joins a long and distinguished list of international philanthropists and social figures given the title over the last few years, including Microsoft founder Bill Gates, U2 singer Bono, former French president Francois Mitterrand, former German chancellor Helmut Kohl and former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani

Is this the same Shimon Peres who, back in the 50's, was likely complicit in the deliberate radiation poisoning of 100,000 Sephardi children? Surely they wouldn't bestow honours on such a monster....must be someone else of the same name.

In 1951, the director general of the Israeli Health Ministry, Dr. Chaim Sheba flew to America and returned with 7 x-ray machines, supplied to him by the American army.

They were to be used in a mass atomic experiment with an entire generation of Sephardi youths to be used as guinea pigs. Every Sephardi child was to be given 35,000 times the maximum dose of x-rays through his head. For doing so, the American government paid the Israeli government 300,000 Israeli liras a year. The entire Health budget was 60,000 liras. The money paid by the Americans is equivalent to billions of dollars today.

To fool the parents of the victims, the children were taken away on "school trips" and their parents were later told the x-rays were a treatment for the scourge of scalpal ringworm. 6,000 of the children died shortly after their doses were given, the many of the rest developed cancers that killed them over time and are still killing them now. While living, the victims suffered from disorders such as epilepsy, amnesia, Alzheimer's disease, chronic headaches and psychosis.

Here's the award winning documentary on the subject:
