So whereisjoy texted me from Tuwani this morning saying "Oh hey, now I'm allowed to say something- Tony Blair visited At-Tuwani today!!!" My reply to which was to have my jaw hit the floor and stay there for about five minutes.

So I subsequently added a Google news alert for "tony blair tuwani".

And when I got home, there was this article returned in my inbox.

I cried.

Let me excerpt you some of this:

Palestinians living in Area C of the West Bank are denied basic rights afforded to Israeli settlers said Quartet Envoy Tony Blair during a visit to a West Bank village on Thursday.

Wow.


Yeah, still crying.

Who knows, with politicians?

I'm really hoping this makes the settlers in the area think twice. (If only because I'm really tired of running.)

But I bet you're in great shape!

The Tuwani Run Up The Hill After Settlers Workout- it should be mass-marketed!

Gosh. It almost sounds like he's getting a clue.

I am rather sceptical because, well, it's Tony Blair.

Still, it's impressive he even went there.
