  • Story Text: 200 people from the 'Women in Green' group have
    demonstrated against Labour Party leader Shimon Peres who
    turns 80 today.

    Hundreds of Israelis gathered in the coastal town of
    Tel Aviv on Sunday (September 21, 2003) to demonstrate against
    Former Prime Minister Shimon Peres.

    The "Women in Green", a strongly right-wing group, held
    posters and chanted against the leader of the opposition
    Labour Party and Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

    Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon welcomed foreign
    dignitaries on Sunday to a ceremony celebrating the 80th
    birthday of Shimon Peres back in August.

    Peres was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, along
    with Slain Prime MInister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian
    Yasser Arafat, as an architect of the Oslo Agreement.
