To delegitimize Israel is an affront not only to Israelis, but to those 'everywhere, in every part of humanity, who share the values of a free and independent human spirit,' Quartet envoy Tony Blair said on Tuesday, in an exceptionally warm speech at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya.
Blair, the keynote speaker at a conference on the delegitimization of Israel, said the best answer to those who sought to delegitimize the Jewish state 'lies in the character of Israel itself, in the openness, fairmindedness and creativity of the Israelis.'"
