Blair: No Need for Aid Flotillas
(Jerusalem Post) David Horovitz and Herb Keinon - Anyone thinking of organizing an aid flotilla for Gaza should instead utilize the legitimate existing land crossings, where Israel is now lifting restrictions on civilian goods, Quartet envoy Tony Blair said on Monday. "Where I divide from some others in the international community is that I think that Israel has got a genuine security concern that it is entitled to meet," he said. "The fact that Israel says, 'Look, we're not going to allow things into the [Gaza] seaport, but you can bring them to Ashdod, and we can check them, and then they can come on to Gaza,' I think that is a reasonable position."
