Israeli President Shimon Peres has spent the last few days visiting France.
Yesterday he was the guest of honor at the Paris Book Fair. A bunch of Arab countries protested his honor because of crimes against humanity Israel has perpetrated against the Palestinians.
Peres made his entry and was mobbed by journalists and admirers. The crowd knocked over a huge sign that said "Israel" which collapsed on Peres.
It was deflected by an adviser's arm (that guy is in the hospital with a broken arm, and two others were hurt as well... that is how big and heavy the sign was) and his bodyguards took the precautions used during assassination attempts.
Peres' daughter said her father "was saved miraculously".
B"H Of course, "almost" only counts in horse shoes, hand grenades, and nuclear warfare.
