Peres was part of the governments that established the first illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian West Bank following the 1967 war that have swallowed so much of Palestinian land, and he was against giving up any of the conquered territory throughout the 1970s. In 1982, he initially supported the war against the Palestinian Liberation Organization in Lebanon led by the then Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin. The Israeli invasion later resulted in the massacre of hundreds of Palestinian refugees at the camps of Sabra and Shatila in Beirut. But Lebanon did not see the last of Peres. In 1996, as prime minister of Israel, he presided over the disastrous Israeli attack on a U.N. base at Qana, which killed 106 civilians sheltering there.
Of all the Israeli politicians, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin also got closest to an actual peace. Being positive about Peres doesn’t make SBC a Zionist, it makes him naive at worst.

He’s also close friend of Lee Kern, writer and another Islamophobic Zionist.
Not to mention his ridiculous portrayal of Muslims as backward racists in Borat.
He has also never once criticised Israel for how they have historically and are currently killed Palestinians.
Edit
Forgot to mention how he portrayed a Palestinian NGO worker as terrorist.
