The Board of Peace sounds about as far from peace as I could imagine. What is Kushner doing there other than ensuring the Trump family get a large slice of the action (profits). And yes, Blair is obviously someone who comes with a lot of baggage post Iraq, but he did manage to get the Good Friday Agreement over the line. In my view, he’s a person of great achievements and awful failures; siding with Bush, Cheney etc in their endeavours in Iraq being the obvious howler. But, I do not find his involvement in a post conflict reconstruction of Palestine as repellant as others who are involved. That said, the people and organisations who are not included, as well as those that are not suggests that this is about profiteering and land grabbing rather than anything else.The world is just so devoid of vision and principles at the moment and this is just another depressing example of how low we’ve sunk. Honestly, I wonder what Blair is doing there.
