Tony Blair Cancels Gaza Visit

Now why would Tony Blair, the mouth of Multiculturalism and Dhimmitude, cancel his scheduled trip to Gaza? What could possibly happen to him in Gaza where he was going to help Hamas subdue the Israelis into submission.

On Tuesday, Mideast envoy Tony Blair called off what would have been the first visit of a top Western diplomat to Hamas-ruled Gaza, after Israel's Shin Bet security service received "pinpointed and imminent" intelligence that there was going to be an assassination attempt on his life.

Poor Tony. After giving in to Muslim demands in the UK, the Muslims are turning on him. We know that he supported President Bush in Iraq and Afghanistan. But to kill him over it. Isn't that going a bit too far?

Blair's visit Tuesday was to have included a tour of a Gaza waste-water project and meetings with traders and U.N. officials, but not with leaders of Hamas, the Islamic militant group that seized Gaza by force more than a year ago.

Still, Hamas had made security arrangements for Blair, setting up checkpoints in areas he was expected to tour, banning cars from using roads, and lining streets with black-clad policemen carrying AK-47s.

Since the Hamas takeover, Gaza has been virtually sealed off from the world by Israel and Egypt, a policy that has received tacit international backing.

When you have a terrorist organization make your security arrangements, you know you are in trouble.

Blair has said in recent weeks that a new policy toward Gaza needs to be developed, pointing to the growing suffering of Gaza's people, but has not offered a plan. The options are limited because much of the international community considers Hamas a terrorist group and has shunned its government.

Blair's spokesman, Matthew Doyle, said the envoy called off the visit "due to a specific security threat which would have made it irresponsible to proceed, not just for those visiting but also the local community."

"He looks forward to being able to go to Gaza again in the future and will of course in the meantime continue to work to improve the conditions for the people there," Doyle added.

But don't trust Hamas to make your security arrangements. They are a killer.

Hamas Government Spokesman Taher Nunu denied there were any security threats against Blair. "Gaza is still open for all visitors, to break the siege and see the extent of suffering here," he said.

What siege? Never before in the history of the world has the besiegers sent food and supplies to those they were besieging. 60 tons a day are being sent to Gaza and have been for the last 18 months. If that is a siege, we better change the Dictionary definition of the word.

Blair also canceled a Tuesday visit to Sderot, a town in southern Israel which is the frequent target of rockets fired by Palestinian militants in Gaza.

It is ok Tony. Go to Sderot. The people there won't try to kill you. They are saving that honor for Ehud Olmert.

It is a shame the Tony Blair's trip was canceled. After all the bending over backwards that Tony has done after the 7/7 attacks to the Muslim community, he must feel as if the Muslims are now:

Bitting the hand that feeds them!
