BLAIR’S SISTER-IN-LAW: GAZA IS “WORLD’S LARGEST CONCENTRATION CAMP”

In an appalling insult to Holocaust survivors everywhere, British journalist Lauren Booth said last week that the situation in Gaza was just like a “concentration camp,” and added that the “humanitarian crisis in Gaza is on the scale of Darfur.”

Booth’s brother-in-law, Quartet envoy to the Middle East Tony Blair, does not share her views. Her sister, Tony Blair’s wife Cherie Blair, once made comments appearing to justify Palestinian suicide bombs against Israeli school buses, but later apologized for the remarks.

Lauren Booth was recently issued a Palestinian passport by Hamas. Here is a photo from AFP (Agence France Presse) of Lauren Booth shopping in a grocery store in Gaza a few days before she made her Israeli “concentration camp” comments. Does it look like Auschwitz, or Darfur?

Here she is again in Gaza last week

And here she is meeting Hamas terrorist leader, Ismail Haniyeh, who presents her with a special Palestinian “diplomatic passport”.

Booth writes for several British newspapers, including the Daily Mail, New Statesman, Mail on Sunday and the Sunday Times, and is often a guest on the BBC.

I can’t tell, is the guy looking at his cell phone leaning on an “oven” or a FedEx box.... Liberals are such jerks. They probably liken waiting in line for tickets to Ironman 2 as a veritable “Death March”. Nothing but drama, never any brains or propriety.

[MsLady]

What a lying jerk.

She’s obviously a fat-ass whore who has been paid for her services.

Just so we're clear.

I found the picture horrible of course....but of interest too.

The one body against the bank....looked out of place.

I wonder what the story was there........

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Just happened to land there I think.

There are thousands of pictures of the dead from the camps.

The ones of the women and children are the worst.

There were no Olympic swimming pools or fancy restaurants in the camps. And no activists from the west bringing food and clothing.

[Osage Orange]

The body looked much larger than the "normal" pic's....

I dunno it just seemed different...to me.
