Blair no Friend to Palestine

Does Tony Blair have friends anywhere?

His own party dont want him, his electorate seem sick of him, Israel and USA think he's too much of a terrorist appeaser and the terrorists think he loves Israel. Where does that leave him while on a diplomatic mission to the Middle East?

Hundreds of Palestinians including politicians and intellectuals on Thursday called on British Prime Minister Tony Blair not to visit Palestinian areas, accusing him of excessive support for Israel.

Blair will meet Palestinian officials in Ramallah on Sunday during a visit to the region, an aide to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said. Blair is expected to also hold talks in Israel and Lebanon, though there has been no confirmation from his office.

"He is coming here in order to wash his hands, that are dripping with Lebanese blood, with Palestinian water," the group of Palestinians wrote in an ad placed in the al-Ayyam newspaper.
