TONY BLAIR SHAMES HIMSELF BY HIS SILENCE ON ISRAEL

Why have we not heard from Tony Blair on the criminal actions of Israel in trying to destroy Gaza and kill Palestinians there? Blair, supposedly the chief Middle East Envoy for the Quartet, has been silent when all the world expects him to call for an immediate cessation of Israel's bombing and shooting.

Yes, Palestinians are also guilty of war crimes in shooting missiles into Israel's towns and villages. This also must come to an immediate stop.

But Israel's actions are not proportionate. In fact, all the world can see that they are disproportionate and designed to destroy the very social and economic fabric of Gaza. Israel bombs police stations to destroy any semblance of law and order. It destroys the Islamic University in an effort to prevent higher learning and education. It fires missiles into residential areas, unconcerned with how many children or civilians are thereby incinerated and killed.
