Tony Blair

Lebanon government joins forces with bid to have Blair tried in Scotland for war crimes

THE Lebanese government is working behind the scenes to bring Tony Blair before the Scottish courts, charged with war crimes for aiding and abetting the Israeli onslaught against Lebanon.

This seems a bit illogical. Are they also going to bring charges against Hezbollah for starting the whole thing by invading Israel, killing 8 soldiers, and kidnapping two others?

The team is accusing Blair of assisting Israel in carrying out war crimes against civilians, citing various pieces of international legislation, including the Geneva Conventions, which say that it is a war crime to aid and abet a nation carrying out attacks targeted against civilians.

Is someone going to bring charges against Mother Sheehan? That sure sounds like HER activities.

Berro said the Israelis were using phosphorous bombs, and “sending ultimatums to the inhabitants of villages, waiting for them to get out and then hunting them on their way to safety”.

The Israeli's are sending warnings to the civilian population to leave the area, for their own protection. This has been documented.

Mohamad, the director of Glasgow’s Middle East Society, added: “We are shocked that Tony Blair has allowed aircraft carrying bombs bound for Israel to come through this country. These weapons are illegal as they are used to kill civilians. I cannot find words to explain my unhappiness at Blair’s decision. If we get a chance to take Tony Blair to court, we will do so.

Isn't the Queen going to be charged too? The whole idea of these charges is absurd.
