"Blair’s record on the Middle East is one of repeated failures, brazen bias, and mass slaughter. Why on Earth should the bombed and besieged Palestinians of Gaza have their fate decided by a man already drenched in Arab blood?"

Tony Blair Should Be on Trial for War Crimes, Not Running Gaza

BREAKING: Donald Trump confirms he is appointing the former UK prime minister as one of the founding executive members of his new board to oversee a post-war Gaza. Here’s why that’s a terrible idea.

Reportedly, the despised Tony Blair has been dropped from prospective membership of Trump's so-called "Board of Peace".

Dropped how far? To the "executive board" functioning under it. Along with Kushner & Witkoff.

Report: Blair's name was dropped from Trump's Board of Peace under pressure from several Arab & Muslim states.

Trump's Gaza "peace plan" appears to have stalled.

Everything that could be wrong about how these ‘terrorists’ came to trial for trying to stop the UK supporting #genocide is happening.

But as I have said before this rush to convict non-violent peaceful grannies of terrorism offences will be seen as the equivalent of #Blair’s decision to back the US in going to war with Iraq…but far worse.

#Starmer and the #Labour Party will pay the price of this for years to come.

It didn’t have to be this way.

"Each of the “terrorists” who held up a sign will only be given 36 minutes in court to make their defence...

How can anyone accused of a terror-related offence get a fair trial if they are not allowed adequate time to plead their case? This is the very definition of a kangaroo court"

#PalestineAction #Terrorism #UKPolitics #Justice #HumanRights

Palestine Action supporters to be given just 36 minutes in kangaroo court to plead their case

When the UK government decided grannies who oppose genocide should be treated as terrorists, it was clear it was criminalising dissent to protect Israel.

Credibility gaps and trust

The problem Keir is that people don’t believe you. And they look at the loonier side of politics and realise that even if you are not in power for long enough to extend the scope of digital IDs, the next party to rule from the depts of Westminster probably will. And one way or the other, living monsters such as #Blair and #Ellison will be very happy to aid and abet them.

Sir Keir Starmer has pledged that digital ID will never be a requirement of access to the NHS and would only ever be mandatory for checks on the right to work.
Having pitched digital ID as a means of dealing with illegal immigration, the prime minister now seeks to sell the scheme as a way to “cut the faff”, by making people’s lives easier by speeding up identity checks and saving money on administration.

Analysis: "Pro-Trump Tech Billionaires Are Poised to Cash In on Gaza’s ‘Peace’ Deal"

Trump is selling his Gaza plan as a path to stability, but it's based on an economy of war.

The plan was drafted by the Tony Blair Institute. Oracle's Larry Ellison & Palantir's Peter Thiel are in prime position to profit from Blair's management of Gaza.

Tony #Blair auto-pressenti comme futur gouverneur de #Gaza Riviera. Sérieusement.

Commentaire de Yanis #Varoufakis :
« Des criminels de guerre proposent un criminel de guerre pour diriger Gaza… Ce serait une comédie si ce n’était une tragédie.»

Suggestion : déclarer le job bénévole. On n'entendra plus parler de Blair.

Oh look they’ve dragged out another old #Blair crony…David Blunkett. He’s always been a big fan of #IDCards…but erm, he seems to have forgotten why:

“I’m mystified that people haven’t come out with a highly coherent view of why we need it, why it would be beneficial to individuals.

Why aren’t our people coming out and arguing this case full on? We need conviction politics now and we need it urgently.”

What would that case be David? If you don’t say it out right, there isn’t a case, is there?

“The prime minister will not be announcing a BritCard, it’s not called a BritCard, and it isn’t even a card ..

We’ve got boarding passes, train tickets, Tesco Clubcards on our phones already, and I can be very clear that you won’t be required to carry it or produce it except to prove your right to work in the United Kingdom.

So people may be inclined to try to play politics or to try and anticipate what this is…this is not a card, it is a digital ID.”

Said it before…but #Starmer’s support for #Israel while allowing #genocide to be perpetrated in #Gaza and crushing non-violent dissent at home is the equivalent of #Blair’s Iraq War. But it will be far worse this time for #Labour.

My generation protested in their thousands on the streets of London against Blair…but that was back when non-violent protest was never considered a crime, let alone terrorism.

My generation didn’t vote Labour again for a very long time…many still don’t.

Finding out Blair is involved with the future development of seaside real estate in Gaza, after all the Palestinians are genocided/ethnically cleansed, and his role in the Iraq war which made a ton of money for British companies, I can't conclude anything else that every Western capitalist democracy is a murder machine.

I also find the concentration camp for 600.000 Palestinians disturbing. First the concentration camp, second the number of people left alive. Because that's what this smells of.

FYI: colonialism at home is fascism.
