Is nobody in this cowardly Government prepared to stand up to the Israeli warmonger Ariel Sharon, the slayer of anybody Palestinian, who started the current trouble by arrogantly striding around holy Palestinian land?

He shows no regard for the feelings of the population, continuing to allow Israelis to take land and settle on it and disregarding the fact it is all stolen land, taken by force.

There will never be peace while this tyrannical despot leads Israel deeper and deeper into conflict with Palestine.

He is nothing but a war criminal and must be treated as such.

Tony Blair should be speaking out against Israel not bending over backwards to appease the other big warmonger, Mr Bush. It must be obvious even to him that the USA sides with Israel because of millions of dollars invested in arms to that country.

Come on Tony, show some real guts, speak up and show Mr Bush you have your own country and people to think of.
