Never mind the UK, Blair is finished on the world stage

[Dom Tuk]

Nothing demonstrates this better than a statement yesterday from todays daily mail "Tony Blair is persona non grata in our countries, and his visit to Ramallah is a serious provocation to the popular Palestinian sentiments, because he comes here in order to wash his hands, that are dripping with Lebanese blood, with Palestinian water," said the statement published Thursday in the daily Palestinian al-Ayyam.

"We should not allow him (to come) and not give him the chance to appear as a peace maker. He is a man of violence and a war maker," the statement said

The Israelis have also asked why they should deal with balir when he may be gone tomorrow.

I presume the Dailly Mail did inform you where the above statement originated from ........

Hundreds of Palestinians signed a newspaper advertisement yesterday criticising Tony Blair and telling him he would not be welcome when he arrives on a Middle East visit expected this weekend.
The advertisement, which appeared in the Palestinian al-Ayyam newspaper, rounded on the British prime minister for what it said was his pro-Israeli stance in the region, particularly over the recent war in Lebanon.

"He is coming here in order to wash his hands, that are dripping with Lebanese blood, with Palestinian water," it said. "We the signatories ... notables, intellectuals and political figures declare that Tony Blair is persona non grata in our country."

Hundreds of people signed up to the statement, including members of small political parties, university professors, political activists and ordinary Palestinians. Neither the ruling Hamas party nor its political rival Fatah signed.

"It is an important visit," he said. "He is one of the most important statesmen on the global stage today.
