Dear Tony,

 

RE: Terror Alert

 

I am sure you agree 2003 has been a difficult year for all of us.  Luckily Britain has a Prime Minister that recognises the importance of World Peace, democracy and of course justice.

 

Recently, you have stood shoulder to shoulder with George Bush to rid the world of the dangers of Saddam Hussein, the Taliban and other “terrorist” organisations.

 

I also understand you are fully committed to ensuring other “rogue” states are dealt with in the near future.  As a loyal supporter of such a noble policy, I was wondering if you could let me know your thoughts on the following points and questions:

 

1.  As you know, Ariel Sharon (current Israeli Prime Minister) was expelled from the Israeli government for his part in the massacre of 800 women and children in the Shabra and Shatila refugee camps.  20 years later he has still not stood trial.  The overwhelming majority of the United Nations want Ariel Sharon to stand trial for these crimes (like Slobadan Milosevic).  What are you going to do about this issue?

 

2.  Ariel Sharon once said:

 

"I don't know something called International Principles. I vow that I'll burn every Palestinian child (that) will be born in this area. The Palestinian woman and child is more dangerous than the man, because the Palestinian childs existence infers that generations will go on, but the man causes limited danger. I vow that if I was just an Israeli civilian and I met a Palestinian I would burn him and I would make him suffer before killing him. With one hit I've killed 750 Palestinians (in Rafah in 1956). I wanted to encourage my soldiers by raping Arabic girls as the Palestinian women is a slave for Jews, and we do whatever we want to her and nobody tells us what we shall do but we tell others what they shall do."

 

Do you think this man is fit to be the Prime Minister of Israel?

 

Do you support this statement?

 

Why do you keep diplomatic relations with a man who holds these views?

 

3.  Why are Israel the only country in the middle east allowed to have nuclear weapons?  (Is there a reason you can make public as to why there are different rules for Israel)

 

4.  International weapons inspectors are barred from Israel.  What do you plan to do about this? (I thought that this is why we bombed Iraq and are considering bombing Iran, the country that has just lost 30,000 people to an earthquake).

 

5.  If you are not a Jewish Israeli you are not allowed to buy land in Israel.  Why do we allow such racism from one of our allies?

 

6.  Israel defies 69 UN Security Council Resolutions.  What military action are you planning to take against Israel in response to more than 40 years of defiance against international opinion and rules?

 

7.  Did you know that Israel allots 85% of the water resources for Jews and the remaining 15% is divided among all Palestinians in the territories? For example in Hebron, 85% of the water is given to about 400 illegal Israeli squatters (or settlers as the biased Sun Newspaper likes to call them), while 15% must be divided among Hebron's 120,000 Palestinians?

 

8.  Did you know that four prime ministers of Israel (Begin, Shamir, Rabin, and Sharon) have taken part in either bomb attacks on civilians, massacres of civilians, or forced expulsions of civilians from their villages?

 

9.  Did you know that the Palestinians have already accepted Israel's existence on 78% of what was Palestine.  But Israel keeps taking more and more land.  What are you going to do about this?

 

10.  Why does the USA give £5 billion a year in aid to Israel (more than the whole African continent receives?)

 

11.  You told us that the Taliban were responsible for the heroin on our streets before you bombed Afghanistan.  The truth was that the Northern Alliance (who you have put in power) were and still are the supplier of heroin.  In fact the Taliban were given UN grants by order of America for combating heroin/poppy plantation and reducing world supply by more than 60%.

 

Why did you lie to us?

 

12.  You told us Iraq had “weapons of mass destruction”.  The US created these weapons and then sold them to nations like Iraq.  Is it all right for me make bombs and then sell them to other people, and then attack those same people for having the bombs I sold them?

 

13.  Scott Ritter (UN weapons Inspector in Iraq 1991-1998) has stated that Chemical Weapons only have a shelf life of 5 years before they become useless piles of gunk.  That means that if Saddam Hussein had buried them in the desert like America claim they would be useless after 1996 anyway.  Is this why you sent British troops into Iraq without the correct chemical weapons protection because you knew that Iraq did not possess chemical weapons?

 

14.  George Bush (IQ of 82, but the most powerful man in the world) lost the US Presidential Election but was appointed President by four Supreme Court judges who supported his party.  Why are you dealing with this man when you know he was not elected by the people of his country?

 

15.  The Saudi government is a dictatorship, in power against the will of the people.  They are guilty of torture and every crime you accuse Saddam Hussein of.  They do not believe in democracy.  When do you plan to remove them and allow free elections?

 

And why do you and George Bush have close relations with such a brutal regime?

 

16.  Who is getting the oil from Iraq?

 

Tony, if you are an honest and decent man you will have no problems in answering all these questions in writing (properly). 

 

If however you and George Bush have been lying to us, you won’t answer these questions.  I look forward to your prompt response.

 

Yours sincerely,
