The Dan David foundation was founded by a former Zionist youth movement activist and businessman who made his wealth from the "Photo Me" franchise of photo booths found in most shopping centres throughout Europe and Israel. The foundation is today chaired by Itamar Rabinovich, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States and Israeli Chief Negotiator with Syria. Misseur you are really spoiling us!

The Dan David prize foundation awards three prizes of $1 million annually for "achievements of outstanding scientific, technological, cultural or social impact on our world". Tony Blair received the award for "his exceptional leadership and steadfast determination in helping to engineer agreements and forge lasting solutions to areas in conflict". Hmmmm. Let's read that again:

"His exceptional leadership and steadfast determination in helping to engineer agreements and forge lasting solutions to areas in conflict".

Presumably these long last solutions are not the ones which involve in excess of one million Iraqi deaths, depleted uranium cancer victims, and the foreign exploitation of Iraq's oil reserves that rip off the Iraqi people.

Clearly Tony Blair does not see any conflict of interest in accepting an enormous sum of money from an organisation run by people who have been active in Zionist institutions for many years, meanwhile brazenly keeping up the pretence that he is an impartial mediator in the Palestine-Israel conflict.

Not to worry, apparently the money will be donated to the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, a charity for "religious understanding". "The 21st Century will be poorer if it is not under the guardianship of faith", squeals Blair. The website reads "religious faith can also be used to divide. We have seen this throughout history and today we still see how it can be distorted to fan the flames of hatred and extremism". Sure, and don't forget tackling fanatical and extremist religious ideas such as "this land belongs to us because God told us so".
