The true envoys
•
HOW wonderful and uplifting to read that someone is prepared to put their principles on the line and indeed even their life and describe the day-to-day reality of life in Gaza (‘Israelis threatened to shoot us,’ November 14).
I share Lauren Booth’s view of her brother-in-law, the Middle East Peace Envoy Tony Blair, and am petrified about his silence and that of the media which allow Israel to commit these war crimes on the one-and-a-half million Palestinians in Gaza.
Since the visit of the chair of Islington Friends of Yibna, Yael Kahn, to Gaza via the Sinai Desert earlier this year, it has become clear from the interview in the Tribune that the situation has deteriorated significantly.
A meeting at Islington Town Hall on Wednesday heard an eye-witness account of the exponential rise in malnutrition in Gaza, especially for children, due to the physical lack of food, directly resulting from the Israeli blockade.
More of us should stand up and voice our concern and join people like Lauren Booth who are trying to make a real difference as true envoys.
