Tony Blair is settling into his new job. The Middle East envoy of the Quartet of the UN, US, European Union and Russia has set himself up in Jerusalem's most beautiful hotel, the American Colony, in a Palestinian district in the Israeli-occupied eastern side of the city.
That, in itself, will be taken as a statement of intent.
Probably doesn't reflect well on him that the hotel is British owned. "American Colony", HA
If he is so serious about an independent Palestine, he should arrange to have the hotel turned over to the Palestinians. Maybe they could change its name to the "Palestinian Colony". That would give the Israelis something to chew on.
