Sorry Scrooge, you forgot "Tony B-liar" the knighted warrior.
I don't think there will be many in the Middle East who wants him there.

There isn't a Palestinian people, but just a couple of Arab clans in Palestine who don't trust each other, isn't it?

There is a Palestinian people, they want all the clans and proxies out! They are peaceful so they don't go around shooting guns and rockets. They live their profit's words; Peace be upon you. Their leaders were all killed off by all the various factions and puppets just so there wouldn't be a peace deal. Know who is the immoral.

I didn't forgot, but overlooked him, as I assessed the idea to task Blair as some strange joke from Trump. Just like Trump's other strange jokes... "Gaza Riviera" real estate projects etc.

I learned Blair still is, nevertheless, the Official Envoy of US, UK, UN, EU for the Middle East since the day he left Downing Street in 2007. Somehow a dinosaur from a bygone era, who has been forgotten. Eventually, Trump just wanted to provoke those who appointed Blair without ever reassessing this formally important position in 18 years; just like Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the Palestinian Authority; 20 years in office without elections.

Knighted? Oh my... Yes, I vaguely remember... former PMs were offered life peerage by the Queen, a common practice that stopped after Sir Tony.

Taking a long term view, is this latest cease fire actually going to stop the violence? Or is just another break before the Islamic Arabs attack Israel again.

@ 13:16 Trump threatens to 'violently' disarm Hamas as group executes 'collaborators' in Gaza

US President Donald Trump has threatened to "violently" disarm Hamas as the group attempts to reassert control over the Gaza Strip.

His comments came as footage circulated online showing a public execution and other displays of force by Hamas fighters who have been targeting gangs accused of collaborating with Israeli forces since the US-brokered ceasefire began last week.

A clip that emerged on Monday afternoon showed Hamas fighters, some of whom were wearing body armour and Hamas headbands, executing a group of eight men. BBC Verify geolocated the footage to a junction in the central Zeitoun neighbourhood in Gaza City.

US President Donald Trump has threatened to "violently" disarm Hamas as the group attempts to reassert control over the Gaza Strip.

What I don't like about such threats is, they have to be plausible or you better refrain from expressing them in the first place. Credibility is what Trump resp. the U.S. enabled to interfere in the Middle East and achieve a ceasefire, a virtue that Europe has lost completely.

Disarming Hamas means U.S. boots on the ground, in densely buildup urban territory. I can't believe Trump's supporters, resp. any American would support that.

Taking a long term view, is this latest cease fire actually going to stop the violence? Or is just another break before the Islamic Arabs attack Israel again.

Israel controls all borders of Gaza a.t.m. Heavy arms can't be smuggled into. Israel isn't endangered by what remains of Hamas.

But all inhabitants in the Gaza strip are... until a rational power takes control. How to achieve that?

Far far too late, some of the truth leaks out:


BBC Gaza documentary a 'serious' breach of rules, Ofcom says
wrote:

The BBC committed a "serious breach" of broadcasting rules by failing to disclose that the narrator of a documentary about Gaza was the son of a Hamas official...

... And the rest is Hamas propaganda that reshaped history.


Stay safe folks?

Adolf Benji and his murderous land thieving mob will need a lot of babysitting.

Netanyahu has rejected 'Bibi-sitting' claims but the US is watching Israel closely.

I hope the babysitter's attention is also focused on the Hamas leadership who agreed to fulfill 20 points of a ceasefire agreement.

Because without their willingness to cooperate there will be a bleak future for all residents of Gaza (Somalia?). Foreign investment for Gaza's reconstruction depends on stable political conditions. Without no one will invest a single dollar there.

International aid? Typically dries up quickly after the worst is over. The media's attention span... The next hot topic awaits.

They didn't sit on him enough.

Netanyahu orders Israeli military to make 'powerful' strikes in Gaza.

You just can't keep a lying Nazi down.

... And what of Hamas?

And what of the ongoing tribal warfare there of the two controlling tribes and the surrounding gangsters?...

There's been rumours and stories about this going on for decades in Israeli military jails where Palestinians are held are now it's out in the open with proof.

How the arrest of an Israeli military lawyer has again shone light on shocking abuse of Palestinians.

Adolf Benji and has mob of far right Nazis have plenty more to answer for.
