Tony Blair promotes tourism to the Holy Land to support peace process
Tony Blair pitching tourism in Israel-Palestine to bolster 'peace'. Dated Sept. 20, 2010; length 25:25
Diane V. McLoughlin comments Sept. 23, 2010:
It is just not believeable that T.B. believes, himself, what he is saying. Frankly, I could only stomach getting about half-way through the above. Abbas, Fayyad et al do not have a mandate to represent the Palestinian people. They never did. Blair knows this full well. The Palestinians are livid that this so-called peace process is going forward without their willing approval or participation. Its purpose is to completely sell-out the Palestinians' natural rights. Which would be why they have been deliberately excluded. The whole thing is a sham. An outrage!

For Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad to even think of announcing the West Bank an independent state while over 400,000 violently racist settlers live scattered throughout the depth and breadth of the West Bank on stolen Palestinian lands, and while 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza continue to starve nder Israel's three year and counting military blockade, suggests he is either completely delusional or a stooge for the Israeli regime.
As A, B follows. There is no possibility of a two-state solution. Palestinians and Jews live together all mixed in already if we look at a demographic map, but with a difference in rules based on race.
The two-state solution is a deliberately distracting illusion. What is real is that Israel is an Apartheid regime where one preferred race holds all the power and all the votes and wants to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians out of their homeland. The discarded race, the Palestinians, are denied the vote, are oppressed, and have their human rights violated at every turn.
You cannot be a democratic state and be a state dedicated to one race. 20% of Israel's citizenry is Palestinian, in addition to the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. And yes, because this is so there are those in Israel who espouse uprooting 20% of the populace and casting them out.
And American taxpayers are forced to give billions to Israel, that's billions with a 'b', each and every year in support of it. We give Israel the bucks, bullets and the bombs that pay for settlements, kill Palestinians, even burn them with white phosphorus bombs as we all witnessed on our television screens during Israel's betrayal of the peace process when Israel broke the ceasefire with Hamas. That's what the white streaky trails were falling out of the sky. Chemical weapons. Only these weren't Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons. Oh, no. Those were our chemical weapons being fired on a defenseless civilian population.
There is only one way to bring peace to this region. It is up to the people of the world, just as with South Africa's own Apartheid regime, to peacefully boycott, divest and sanction Israel ourselves until both the Jews and the Palestinians have equal rights to live free.
