Reviving A Hoary Old Libel

I am wholly unsurprised that Nick Cohen is not a Fern Britton viewer, but even so. Blair has now admitted the whole thing. On television.

Opposition to this war was supposed to have been "anti-Semitic" at the time, although heaven knows how or why. Any threat to Israel would have depended on the existence of WMD, an existence believed neither by ninety per cent of the population nor, as everyone but Cohen could tell and as everyone but Cohen now knows from the horse's mouth, by Tony Blair.

But they have exhausted everything else. They have exhausted everything else on Afghanistan, so they are back to 9/11, a wholly unconnected event. And they have exhausted everything else on Iraq, so they are back to accusing that war's totally vindicated opponents of being anti-Semitic for never having supported the deaths of, as even Kelvin Mackenzie baldly stated it on Question Time, one million Semites.

Another Semite, Nick Cohen, is so much better than this.
