Bloody Memoir
September 5, 2010
Tony Blair, a man who launched a criminal war with no end, declared once again today that “Radical Islam is the world’s greatest threat”
He made the remark in a BBC interview marking the publication of his memoirs.
Mr Blair said radical Islamists believed that whatever was done in the name of their cause was justified – including the use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.
I can’t make up my mind whether Blair’s remark is amusing or tragic for not a single Islamic leader has ever used “chemical, biological or nuclear weapons”. If anything it is Britain and the USA who deployed weaponry that contained depleted uranium. A recent study reveals that the Cancer rate in Fallujah, Iraq is worse than Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
Blair doesn’t like Iran either: “We need to give a message to Iran that is very clear – that they cannot have a nuclear weapons capability, and we will stop them.” I have actually believed for many years that an Iranian bomb is the key to peace. Seemingly an Iranian bomb is the only thing that may deter Western expansionism and Israeli barbarism.
One would expect the International Quartet’s ‘peace envoy’ to pretend to be impartial and to demand Israel’s transparency over its nuclear affairs. I guess that this is too much to ask. Hence, I would advise the International Quartet that if they are truly interested in peace in the region, first they must make sure that Mr Blair is brought to The Hague and faces justice. Such an act is the first step towards peace. It would prove ethical integrity and moral transparency. It becomes clear that the British political and Judicial system is not up for the task of confronting Britain’s recent colossal war crimes. We seemingly need the international community to intervene.
“This (Islamic) extremism is so deep,” said Blair “that in the end they have to know that they’re facing a stronger will than theirs.” Interestingly enough, the facts on the ground suggest otherwise. The English speaking armies are totally defeated in Iraq and Afghanistan. Evidently, not much ‘strong will’ is detected amongst British and American soldiers to die in these Zionist wars called by Jewish Lobbies funded war criminals.
Gilad Atzmon was born in Israel in 1963 and had his musical training at the Rubin Academy of Music, Jerusalem (Composition and Jazz). As a multi-instrumentalist he plays Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone Saxes, Clarinet and Flutes. His album Exile was the BBC jazz album of the year in 2003. He has been described by John Lewis on the Guardian as the “hardest-gigging man in British jazz”. His albums, of which he has recorded nine to date, often explore political themes and the music of the Middle East.
Until 1994 he was a producer-arranger for various Israeli Dance & Rock Projects, performing in Europe and the USA playing ethnic music as well as R&R and Jazz.
Coming to the UK in 1994, Atzmon recovered an interest in playing the music of the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe that had been in the back of his mind for years. In 2000 he founded the Orient House Ensemble in London and started re-defining his own roots in the light of his emerging political awareness. Since then the Orient House Ensemble has toured all over the world. The Ensemble includes Eddie Hick on Drums, Yaron Stavi on Bass and Frank Harrison on piano & electronics.
Also, being a prolific writer, Atzmon’s essays are widely published. His novels ‘Guide to the perplexed’ and ‘My One And Only Love’ have been translated into 24 languages.
