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.

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.
