 Good Luck With the Whole Gaza List Thing, Tony BlairPosted on Jul 1, 2010
Hey, it’s Tony Blair! Remember him? The former British PM now bears the somewhat unlikely title of special peace envoy to the Middle East, and he’s getting down to business on a project having to do with lists, supplies and Israeli-Palestinian relations. The list Blair wants is actually one that would specify which supplies aren’t allowed into Gaza, whereas now Israel works off a list of things that can pass through. Got it? —KA

I can just about imagine how thrilled the Palestinians are to have phoney tony as their peace envoy—recall it was Brittian that dropped the Jewish survivors of WWII on top of them in the first place…
This would be like adding insult to injury.
But peace between Israel and Palestine? What a crock, peace is last thing Israel wants—they want Palestine with no Palestinians in it. They are prepared to stop at nothing to achieve that goal.

Well WHY NOT, 12 more rockets into Israel from Gaza the
Report thisworld says nothing.
and Greece reaching out to Israel and behind closed
doors Turkey talking with Israel, and The USA Navy in
the Persian Gulf, Iran shuts up now. But Israel sent up
another spy satellite just for Iran, and we hear
nothing of float/killas on the high seas. All that
excitement last month for nada/nothing, football and
drugs rule the day.

Gaza is like a carcass being torn apart by two dogs, three if you count Tony. How is it possible that in a supposedly rational world, the inhabitants of a tiny strip of land who have no army, navy or air force can be put through the tortures of the dammed and called a threat to world peace because America and Israel are joined at the hip for fun,profit, war and oil? Put it in a computer, maybe it can come up with an answer. As Picasso once said, ‘Computer’s are useless. They can only give you answers.’ He was right, of course. It’s the questions that matter.

In a just world, Tony Blair and George Bush would be occupying adjoining seats in the dock in the Hague being tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
I’m not holding my breath on this one.
Small crimes get you fined or imprisoned. Big ones get you mega-payouts. I can only hope that this guy’s sleep is plagued with nightmares.

Maybe he can help the Israelis sell more munitions in the name of peace and profit.

Isn’t this amazing how the ruling elites name their biggest warmongers and, without fail, the ones that are mostly responsible for the biggest fiascos as all kind of lovey-dovey things like “Peace Emboy” or “Mediator” or “Expert” or whatever buzz word they can come up with? This guy in Gaza is no different than Clinton and Bush, Jr. in charge of “fixing” things in Haiti. It would be all really funny and amuzing if it weren’t so tragic and despicable.

The weasel is at it again;Anthony of Kut Al Amara has a wonderful new proposition ,whereas a new list will be formulated for the beleaguered Gazans ,formulated on one hand by the Israeli’s and
Report thison the other by yours truly-tony.Now the problem with this new found language is that humanitarian assistance organizations are in fact going to be acquiescing to the Blockade/embargo of
Gaza and in esssence maintaining its existence .
