7/7 - Challenge to official narrative goes MSM

[Mark Stapleton]

Sawers' offence?

In 2008, Sir John Sawers, while Permanent Representative of the UK to the UN, said about Palestine: "The closing of all crossings and restriction of the supply of fuel, food and other goods in order to create suffering among the civilian population is not the right response..."

So now we know - he's not "on message" with the neo-cons.

I reckon you're right Paul, but I think it was in January 2009. Obviously feelings over Gaza were high at this time, but it didn't get him off the hook apparently.

A quick googling shows that his past statements in the UN don't seem overtly critical of Israel.

Any support for the Palestinians is a career terminator.

Former Aussie PM Gough Whitlam can attest to that.
