Jerusalem congress on future of Jews excludes 'peace' from agenda
Rene Shmuel Sirat, the former chief rabbi of France, protested that the word "peace" seemed to have become a four-letter word in Jewish public discourse.
A number of delegates attending the Jerusalem Conference on the Future of the Jewish People were surprised to find that Jewish-Muslim peace was not even on the agenda for debate.
"Without peace the Jewish people have no future," Sirat said in an interview with Haaretz.
"It is unacceptable that peace should not be included in the plans for the future of the Jewish people."
Believe me, Rabbi, we don't need the "peace" that our leaders seem to be (in)capable of providing us.

I also saw this. I don't know this Rav. It could be that he said a lot of other things but the journalist decided to highlight this and ignore other things, distorting Rav Sirat's intent.
