I am all for equality. Being of a minority race or sexual persuasion should not influence how you are treated. (As long as I can stereotype you for the purposes of comedy).

So I was appalled to hear about how long it had taken for a simple bit of legislation to get through the European courts. I cannot believe  that the basic right of all gay women to travel freely across europe was the subject of such a debate, with several compromises having to be made before the agreement was finally signed. And apparently Tony Blair is in the running to ensure that it’s adhered to!

That was what The Lesbian Treaty was all about, wasn’t it?

Speaking to the world committee on the establishment of a Palestinian state, Tony Blair said that along with the Palestinian problem of stopping terror, the Israelis must reduce the burdens of the checkpoints.  He admitted that in Gaza, the stronghold of Hamas, the Israelis had withdrawn their complete existence, and yet terror continues.  The Hamas government outright says that they want no state next to Israel, that they simply want Israel to dissappear.

In return, Israel withdrew, and stopped sending goods into Gaza.  Any Muslim fanatic would be satisfied with a blockade from Israel goods.   The Arab League has already boycotted Israeli goods.  So why should the “Quartet” force Israeli goods like generic drugs from Teva Pharmaceuticals or clean water into Hamas controlled Gaza, when they don’t want Israeli goods to begin or end with.

Creating a Palestinian state sidebyside with an Israeli state is not what Hamas wants.  It is a colonialist act to force statehood on a group of people, and a typical move by the Europeans.  Perhaps the best plan is to continue doing business, the Israeli way, and create jobs for the unemployed.  Did you know that there is 13.2% unemployment in the Middle East.  Not that that is the main reason for terror (see: Evil), but the unemployed are targets of the evil leadership in Iran, Syria and the Palestinian territories.
