Tony Blair on Gaza's 'Board of Peace' is outrageous

Former PM, genocide supporter, and on-the-loose war criminal Tony Blair’s full support of Donald Trump’s vision for Palestinians was slammed for its cruel irony: the man who helped destroy Iraq wants you to believe he and Trump have Gaza’s best interests at heart.

In Washington, the first session of what has been dubbed Donald Trump’s Board of Peace was held. NBC reported that “representatives of at least 40 countries” attended, including heads of state. The recent House of Commons Library briefing lists specific members: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Israel, Hungary, Belarus, Bulgaria, Argentina, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Cambodia.

The UK Government officially declined to join, citing concerns about Russia’s potential membership and the board’s remit going beyond Gaza.

Tony Blair front and centre

Yet there was Blair — front and centre on the executive board alongside Kushner, Trump, Rubio and the other board members. Maybe sitting with them is just irresistible to him.

Blair gave his war criminal seal of approval to Trump’s 20-point plan, calling it the “only hope for Gaza, the region, and the wider world.”

Having Tony Blair a member of the so-called Board of Peace is like having Prince Andrew chair an inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein https://t.co/79nG85Xc1H

Kieran Andrieu, a British-Palestinian contributor at Novara Media, shared the clip of Blair singing Trump’s praises, saying:

My Palestinian ancestors could never – in a thousand nights of nightmares – have dreamt-up a future so bleak and dystopian for their descendants. But paedophiles and cannibals in charge of Gaza, know this: Palestinians will NEVER submit to you. We will NEVER go away. We WILL return home, however long it takes

Chris Doyle of the Council for Arab-British Understanding (CAABU) attacked Blair’s colonial mindset and his grovelling praise of Trump.

Blair showing why he has been a serial failure in Palestine. He has scant understanding of the issues, a colonial mindet, (he knows best for other peoples) and is addicted to cosying up to power and money, in this case Trump. https://t.co/YtFwZxMJoK

Howard Beckett called soulless Blair “repulsive” — and contextualised what the Board of Peace actually represents.

Blair on Trump 🇺🇸 plans for Gaza 🇵🇸

‘You can rise on you own efforts’
‘Not feel a government on your back’
‘On your side’

20,000 murdered children
70,000 murdered Palestinians 🇵🇸

Land illegally stolen

This man lost his soul a long time ago

Mike Wallace, former Irish MEP, put it bluntly: listening to war criminal Tony Blair lie about Israel’s apartheid regime, which has been ethnically cleansing Palestinians since 1948, is sickening.

Is there anything more sickening than listening to the War Criminal Tony Blair telling Lies about the Apartheid Israeli Regime who've been carrying out the Ethnic Cleansing of Palestinians since 1948… https://t.co/d9eTm56QOJ

Arnaud Bertrand laid out everything that repugnant Blair happily omitted.

How, he asked, do you build “effective institutions” when your airport is destroyed, your ports blockaded, your universities bombed, your civil servants trapped, your economy strangled, and your people killed on a routine basis?

Looks like Tony Blair is very determined to confirm his status as one of the worst persons alive.

His speech is pure 19th century colonialism: he frames the Gaza issue as one of "ineffective governance" on the part of the Palestinians, without as much as mentioning the 17-year… https://t.co/QOTQtWxgXJ

Andrew Feinstein pointed out Blair’s bloody war profiteering record.

Tony Blair’s Commission on Africa reported that the continent needed better governance & less corruption, at the time he was negotiating corrupt arms deals on behalf of BAE Systems in Tanzania & South Africa. He is a repulsive, corrupt war profiteer! https://t.co/krnrLFFgiD

Blair’s insistence on standing shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the most grotesque people on earth, like Trump, Milei and Rubio, is a perfect illustration of the saying: birds of a feather flock together.

The so-called Board of Peace should be more accurately described as the Board of Occupation, which is hungry to strip Gaza for political gain.

But then again, the question that begs an answer is: Why is this criminal not in jail?
