Interesting speech by Tony Blair
by the Quartet Representative Tony Blair, Herzliya, 24th August 2010
CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY
There are two forms of de-legitimisation. One is traditional, obvious and from the quarters it emanates, expected. It is easier to deal with. This is attack from those who openly question Israel’s right to exist. It is easier to deal with, because it is so clear. When the President of Iran says he wants Israel wiped off the face of the map, we all know where we are. This is not to minimise the threat of course. It remains and is profound. It is just to say that were this the only form of de-legitimisation, it wouldn’t warrant a conference of analysis; simply a course of action.
The other form is more insidious, harder to spot, harder to anticipate and harder to deal with, because many of those engaging in it, will fiercely deny they are doing so. It is this form that is in danger of growing, and whose impact is potentially highly threatening, in part because it isn’t obvious.
I would define in it this way: it is a conscious or often unconscious resistance, sometimes bordering on refusal, to accept Israel has a legitimate point of view. Note that I say refusal to accept Israel has a legitimate point of view. I’m not saying refusal to agree with it. People are perfectly entitled to agree or not; but rather an unwillingness to listen to the other side, to acknowledge that Israel has a point, to embrace the notion that this is a complex matter that requires understanding of the other way of looking at it.
The challenge is that this often does not come from ill-intentioned people; but well-intentioned. They would dispute vigorously such a characterisation of their mindset. They would point to the injustice of Palestinian suffering, acts of the Israeli Government or army which are unjustifiable and they would say, rightly, that you cannot say that to criticise Israel is to de-legitimise it. Such minds are often to be found in the west. They will say they advocate a two state solution and they will point to that as proof positive that they accept Israel’s existence fully.
The problem is that though this is true in theory, in practice they wear Nelson’s eye patch when they lift the telescope of scrutiny to the Israeli case. In a very real sense, they don’t see it.
So, for example, on Gaza they won’t accept that Israel might have a right to search vessels bringing cargo into Gaza, given that even this year over 100 rockets have been fired from that territory into Israel Leave aside the multiple investigations relating to the flotilla, upon which there will naturally be heated debate. I mean a refusal to accept that, however handled, no Israeli government could be indifferent to the possibility of weapons and missiles being brought into Gaza.
I often have a conversation about the West Bank which goes like this. Someone says: Israel must lift the occupation. I reply: I agree but it has to be sure that when it does so, there will be security and a Palestinian force capable of preventing terrorism. They say: so you’re supporting occupation. I say: I’m not: I’m simply pointing out that if Hamas, with an unchanged position on Israel, were running the West Bank, Israel would have a perfectly legitimate right to be concerned about it’s security.
A constant conversation I have with some, by no means all, of my European colleagues is to argue to them: don’t apply rules to the Government of Israel that you would never dream of applying to your own country. In any of our nations, if there were people firing rockets, committing acts of terrorism and living next door to us, our public opinion would go crazy. And any political leader who took the line that we shouldn’t get too excited about it, wouldn’t last long as a political leader. This is a democracy. Israel lost 1000 citizens to terrorism in the intifada. That equates in UK population terms to 10,000. I remember the bomb attacks from Republican terrorism in the 1970’s. There weren’t many arguing for a policy of phlegmatic calm.
So the issue of de-legitimisation is not simply about an overt denial of the State of Israel. It is the application of prejudice in not allowing that Israel has a point of view that should be listened to.
One thing I state repeatedly in interviews about Gaza – despite disagreeing with the previous policy on it – is to say to western media outlets: just at least comprehend why Israel feels as it does. In 2005 it got out of Gaza i.e. ceased occupying it, took over 7000 settlers with it and in return got rockets and terror attacks. Now I know all the counter-arguments about the unilateral nature of the withdrawal, the 2005 Access and Movement agreement and the closure of the crossings. But the fact remains: there is another point of view and you can’t describe it as illegitimate.
This is then hugely heightened by the way things are reported. Here the televisual images – whether in Lebanon, Gaza or indeed any field of conflict – in Afghanistan for example, are so shocking that they tend to overwhelm debate about how or why conflict began. Because Israel – like the US or the UK – has superior force and because in such situations the horrible tragedy is that the innocent die – these images arouse anger, sympathy and a disgust that at one level is completely understandable but at another obscures the difficult choices nations like ours face, when they come under attack.
The combination of all of this is curious disjunction of perception. I spend large amounts of time in Israel, and outside of it in different parts of the world. To those outside, Israel is regularly perceived as arrogant, overbearing and aggressive. To Israelis, there is a sense that the world is isolating it unfairly and perversely refusing to see they too have a right to have their voice heard. Hence this conference.
The issue is how to respond. First, there is a clear and vital principle that needs to be established: to criticise is not per se to de-legitimise. The fact is there are plenty of Israeli and Jewish voices that passionately disagree with Israeli policy. I am a friend of Israel and openly avow it. I have plenty of criticisms. De-legitimisation is qualitatively different. It can seem the same sometimes. But it isn’t. The one is valid. The other is not. Friends of Israel should be the first to make the distinction.
Having done that, however, we should highlight the fact that de-legitimisation is happening, and be vigilant and vigorous about identifying and countering the instances of it. This needn’t be done stridently. But it should be done insistently. The aim: not to make people agree necessarily with Israel’s point of view; but to insist they listen to it and persuade them at least to the position of understanding. Where there is incitement, expose it. Where there is a one-sided account, argue the other side. Always have a voice out there – and not just the politicians – but the voices of the people. And do it systematically and with unity.
Second, Israel should always be a staunch and unremitting advocate and actor for peace. What I mean by this is not that it should simply be for peace; it should advocate it and act to achieve it. Tzipi Livni’s and Ehud Olmert’s negotiations under the previous Israeli Government and previous US administration, were an immensely important part of showing to the world that whatever else they might say, they had to accept that the Government of Israel was genuinely trying to bring about peace. The re-start of the direct negotiations to be launched next week is important in itself; important because it shows that PM Netanyahu on behalf of the new Government of Israel is an advocate for peace; important because, with a l year time frame being indicated, it shows that there is a sincere yearning on the part of the people of Israel to live in an enduring and honourable peace with their Palestinian neighbours. I know some are cynical. I know some say it’s all for show. I reject that view. I think if Israel can receive
real and effective guarantees about its security, then it is willing and ready to include a negotiation for a viable, independent Palestinian state. This is a brave decision by the PM and the right one.
Third, there will be no successful negotiation unless all the final status issues are on the table. I’m not going to try to negotiate solutions here and now. That is for later. We can think creatively and constructively. Indeed we must do so. But proposals on these issues will be a litmus test of seriousness.
Which brings me to a fourth point. A crucial response to de-legitimisation is to deal with the legitimate criticism. What is it? Let me answer based on my experience. It is that we can and should do more and more quickly to improve the daily lives of Palestinians. Now there has been real progress here in the past year. We should deepen it. I am a convinced persuader for the bottom up approach – I continue to believe that no top-down negotiation will work without it. I also think we have visible empirical evidence to support it: the improvements in Jenin and the opening of the Jalameh crossing to Israeli Arabs; changes to A & M in response to the hugely improved capability of the PA on security; the very successful PIC in Bethlehem that yielded hundreds of millions of dollars of investment; the modus operandi with the new department under DPM Shalom that has resulted in significant gains; and I hope in time a new approach to tourism and to development for Palestinians in Area C.
Such change does not only lead to improvements to Palestinian lives. It also deals with what is the most potent fuel – especially in Arab media – of hatred against Israel. That is the idea that Palestinians suffer not injustice alone; but a form of humiliation. Dignity is a very important concept. Consistent with security, Israel should be constantly looking for ways to compensate for the indignity which inevitably results from the security measures taken and should seek to avoid any unnecessary indignities.
I was pleased and heartened when the Government changed policy on Gaza. The truth is you can justify restrictions in Gaza taken for reasons of security. But with a Gazan population, half of whom is under the age of 18 and 300,000 of whom are under the age of 4, security is the only arguable basis upon which to put such restrictions. Of course Gilad Shalit should be released immediately. His detention is a profound denial of human rights, as is the way he is being treated. But a policy based on threats to Israel’s security is the only one its friends can defend.
This leads me to my final point. It is our collective duty – yours and mine – to argue vigorously against the de-legitimisation of Israel. It is also our collective duty to arm ourselves with an argument and a narrative we can defend and with which we can answer the case against Israel, with pride and confidence.
Let me tell you why I am a passionate believer in Israel. This is a democracy. It’s Parliament is vibrant. Its politics is, well, not notably restrained, let’s say. Its press is free. Its people have rights and they are enforced. I had an argument with a friend about Israel. I said to them: ‘ok let’s assume you are charged with a crime you didn’t commit and the penalty is 20 years in prison. And you’re a critic of the Government. Tell me: under which country’s legal system, in this region, would you prefer to be tried?’ He struggled for a bit and then said: ‘that’s not the point.’ ‘But it is’ I replied.
Look around the world about what we admire about the Jewish people: their contribution to art, culture, literature, music, business and philanthropy. It’s a spirit that is identifiable, open and rather wonderful. Whatever bigotry is, it is the opposite of it. It is a free spirit. On holiday I read the new biography of Einstein. Having in early life taken not much interest in the issue, he became an ardent supporter of Israel. But look at the character of the Israel he supported: like Einstein himself – a free thinker, a rebellious thinker even, but one supremely attuned to the future.
That is the Israel people like me support. So guard it; keep it. I am a religious person myself. But the society I want to live in, is one that treats me no better as a result; makes my view one amongst many; and pursues science, technology and progress with vigour and without prejudice. The best answer to the de-legitimisation of Israel lies in the character of Israel itself and in the openness, fair-mindedness and creativity of ordinary Israelis. That character and those people built the State of Israel. They remain it’s guardians. They are why to de-legitimise Israel is not only an affront to Israelis but to all who share the values of a free human spirit.
Thank you.

3. Andrew Harrison, ,2 (Andrew ‘), is clearly traceable through the records of Essex, Spotsylvania and Orange Counties. “On October 9, 1710, Andrew Harrison, Senior; of Essex County, conveyed to his son Andrew Harrison, land whereon the said Andrew Harrison, Senior, lived, containing 130 acres in Essex County, purchased of John Prosser, on the south side of the Rappahannock River, in the freshes thereof; the said Andrew Harrison, Senior, & Elinor, his wife, to live on the said land, during their lives. Witnesses to this deed were James Harrison and William Williams. Y “On October 9, 1710, Andrew Harrison, Senior, conveyed to his son, Andrew Harrison, Junior, 200 acres, part of 400 acres proportionable part of a patent granted to the said Andrew Harrison, Senior, Richard Long & Samuel Elliot; being forest land on the south side of Rappahannock River, bounded by land of my son William Harrison, John Buckner, Richard Buckner, Larkin Chew & Richard Long. Witnesses: James Harrison and William Williams.” [1]
The First George Cutlip: 1711
If the German George Cutlip presented here was not our first ancestor, those who propose an English background will have to produce an English George very much like this German George. According to his military record our George was born in 1711 and 38 years later decided to move to the New World and to chase the American Dream.[2]
1711
Indian School at William & Mary. (Ancestor Christopher Smith:Schoolmaster) "There was also a common school for Indian boys. The master received forty or fifty pounds sterling, which was to be paid from the rents of the Brafferton estate, in Yorkshire, in which the funds left by the Hon. Robert Boyle “for pious and charitable uses” had been invested by decree of the High Court of Chancery in Great Britain. The attendance on this school was augmented by boys from the town, whom the master was authorized to charge 20s. a year each. “Reading, writing, and vulgar arithmetic” were the subjects embraced."
(1711) A letter from Governor Spottswood to Lord Dartmouth in 1711 indicates that there were 25 Indian children at the College. He states “These Indians express much satisfaction at the treatment that is given their children. They often grieve that they were not so fortunate as to have had such advantages in their younger days. Based on several histories, the Indians had an entirely different view as many were coerced to attend. (1713) A report states that “Virginia demanded and received two hostages from each tributary Indian village. Governor Spotswood though that this was the best way to keep these Amerindians peaceful, while giving some of the most talented of their numbers an English style education. By 1713 there were seventeen of these students being educated by the College of William and Mary. [3]
October 9, 1715
The MacKinnons have been throughout the majority of their history a small clan with a strong sense of honor, even to a fault as as evidenced with their conviction to the Jacobite cause in 1715 and 1745 after which they were dispossed of their lands. [4]
In 1715 Ian dubh the chief of MacKinnon (grandson of Lachlan Mhore, his father Ian having died vita parentis,) was summoned by the Lord Advocate in the Hanoverian interest, to appear at Edinburgh, under the pain of a year's imprisonment, to give bail for his allegiance to George I. and the government. He rushed immediately into insurrection for the Stuart cause, and gathering one hundred and fifty of his clan joined MacKenzie Earl of Seaforth, in time to fight side by side with his neighbor MacDonald of Sleat, at the battle of Sheriffmuir , September, 1715, an obstinate engagement which the Jacobites claimed as a victory.[5]
On October 9th of the same year they marched to attack the Earl of Sutherland, who however declined an engagement and retired to Bonar, where his force dispersed. Soon after this the Chevalier appeared amongst his adherents at Perth, but lost heart at seeing the paucity of their numbers. and advising them to seek safety by retreating northwards in a body under General Gordon (which they did in admirable order), fled himself to France on February 4th, 1716, and the Rebellion was at an end. The chief of MacKinnon was attainted for the part he took in the rebellion, but received a pardon on January 4th, 1727. [6]
1716 (Ancestor Christopher Smith)
(1716) "The Rector acquainting the Visitors and Governors that upon Mr. Jackson’s declining to teach the Indian children that he had appointed Mr. Christopher Smith (9th greatgranduncle) to succeed him in employment and that sd Christopher Smith is hereby approved of as a Master to that sd Indian *** and ordered that he have the same allowance of Sallary that was given to Mr. Jackson.” Mr Jackson was Christopher Jackson. Christopher was probably a teacher before that time. Mr Jackson was paid 50 pounds sterling. The grammer school also educated white children from Williamsburg.(6 May 1716) On the petition of Christopher Smith, Master to the Indian Children Ord. that, on consideration that there are but few of them now at school, he be allowed 25 pounds per annum, that he have pasturage for his horse, firewood for his chamber and the liberty of teaching such English children as shall be put to him and that a partition be erected at the charge of the College to separate the said English children from the Indians. Masters and Visitors of the College of William and Mary. William and Mary Quarterly, v. 7, page. 235. Williamsburg students paid 20 shillings per annum to attend school.
Christopher's death is commonly given as 1716. William & Mary records indicate that he was not replaced as Indian Master until sometime in 1720 when Reverend Charles Griffin was hired. [11][7]

Major General Edward Braddock is ordered back to England from Italy to receive his orders regarding the forthcoming expedition to America. This expedition's goal is to remove the French from the Ohio river valley and hopefully the rest of Canada. [12][8]

Colonists adopt the Declaration of Rights and Grievances in response to the Stamp Act.[10]
1766
Alexander Vance held one of the 4 land warrants issued for Tyrone County (his was issued April 3,1769, but not surveyed till April 11,1788). John Vance, Moses' father settled on a tract of land in 1766. John Vance (d. 1772) "who's ancestors came from Scotland and Ireland, was a native of Virginia". He came to PA with his sister's husband Col. William Crawford. John was already married to his wife Margaret White before he left VA. John died young leaving his wife Margaret to raise their 6 children, David, William, Moses, Jane, Elizabeth, and Maria. "Among the records of property is one where, under date of January 10, 1781, Margaret Vance, widow of John Vance, reported the list of her registered slaves, - one female, named Priscilla, aged twenty-seven years, and two males, Harry and Daniel, aged respectively seven and three years.
Priscilla and Harry afterwards became the property of the daughter, Jane Vance who was married to Benjamin Whalley. The son David (Vance) settled in Kentucky, and William (Vance) remained on the old place until middle life, when he died, never having married. Moses Vance also stayed upon the homestead, and when, in 1790, the land upon which his father's family had lived so long was warrented to Benjamin Whalley, two hundred and fifty acres of it was transferred to him and upon that he resided until his death.
Moses Vance's wife was Elizabeth, a daughter of Jacob Strickler, and they reared a family of seven sons and two daughters, John, Jacob, Samuel, Francis, William, Crawford, George, Margaret, and Eliza. John still lives on the old Gamer place, Jacob is in Lower Tyrone, and William's home is in Connellsville. Before leaving his native town, Tyrone, William held the office of justice of the peace for some years. George Vance removed to Illinois, and Samuel, Francis, Crawford, and Margaret are dead." [11]
Description
http://www.bryanfamilyonline.com/strictree.html
1766
(Lawrence Harrison) Bought land in western Pa. (Va.) in 1766. [12]
1766 William Crawford completes his improvements and moves his family to their new home in what was then called Augusta County, Virginia. (Fayette County, PA)[13]
“In the spring of the year… he settled, and has continued to live here ever since. That before that time, and in that year, a considerable number of settlements weremade, he thinks near three hundred, without permission from any commanding officer, some of which settlements were made with the limits of the Indiana Company’s claim, and some others within Colonel Croghan’s.”[14]
1766
This increasing contact and intercourse of pioneer settlers, with the Indians led, as might be expected, to many disorders; and as the jealousies of the latter grew stronger, occasional personal conflicts, and even homicides, occurred, which added to the animosities by the whites, and to the causes of complaint by the natives. Many Indians were killed on the frontiers of Virginia and Pennsylvania, and occasionally a white trader or hunter met a corresponding fate. But within the territory of Fayette few such outrages are known to have been perpetrated. Of these was the murder of “Bald Eagle,” on the .Monongahela.[15] the killing of Indian Stephen at or near Stewart’s Crosings,[16] and the shooting, and burning the cabin of the two stranger hunters and settlers near Mendenhall’s dam, on the Burnt Cabin fork of Dunlap’s creek.[17] When this case occurred is not so certainly known, but the two Indians were killed in 1766. Great efforts were made to apprehend and punish the offenders, but except as to an alleged accomplice in the case of Stephen, they were fruitless. “At this,” writes Governor Fauquier, “I am not surprised, for I have found by experience that it is impossible to bring any body to justise for the murder of an Indian, who takes shelter among our back inhabitants, among whom it is looked upon as a meritorious action, and they are sure of being protected.”
The Indian murmurs grew louder, and their threats of vengeance more earnest and alarming. So far as concerned Pennsylvania, the great burden of complaint was the settlements upon their lands along the Monongahela, Redstone, the Youghiogheny and Cheat. They complained also of the murder of their people, and to these the more sober and discreet of their tribes, as a distinct grievance, the increasing corruption of the young men and warriors by Rum. They had, however, thus early learned to discriminate between the people of the two rival colonies, and charged nearly all their grievances to the people of Virginia. But, as the localities were in Pennsylvania, it behooved the Penn Government to devise and execute a remedy for the wrongs complained of, so as thereby to prevent the savage retaliation which impended over the border inhabitants.[18]

…Lord Dunmore and his army, in more than 100 canoes, piroques and a few large keelboats, had just landed at the mouth of the Hockhocking and made camp, with orders for the march to begin first thing in the morning. Dunmore then inspected the small fort that had been built by Capt. Crawford and approved of the good job that had been done. He named the place Fort Gower and promoted William Crawford to the rank of major.[13][27]

Monday, October 9, 1775: On my way to Major Crawford’s saw the vestiges of an old fortification. It appears to me that this country has been inhabited by a race of people superior in military knowledge to the present Indians.[14][28] In different parts of the country there are the vestiges of regular fortifications, and it is well known the Indians have not the least knowledge of that art. When, or by whom, these places were built. I leave to more able antiquarians than I am to determine. Fortunately for me Zachariah Connel is going over the Mountain tomorrow and will find me a horse to go along with him. Returned to V. Crawford’s.[15][29]

From Jane Kenny,
When we went to Ireland Trinity College had an exhibit of Napoleon. They had many tapestries showing Napoleon and his body guards. The boys and I had fun trying to figure out which one was our g.g.g.g.g.g.g.g…..grandfather J
Joseph LeClere, our 5th great grandfather was one of Napoleans bodyguards. His family would move to Dubuque, Iowa. My guess is that the good looking one is our relative.
“In November 1799 Napoleon was in Paris leading the coup d’etat from which he became Consul. Christmas 1799 he became 1st Consul.
As for his bodyguard, there was his personal one “the Guides a cheval”, [Company of mounted guides] formed in May 1796 following a raid by Austrian Hussars at [disputed depends what you read] from which he only just evaded capture.
Once he became 1st Consul he merged the Guides with the Gard du Directoire [Guard of the Directory] and others to become a single unit consisting of infantry and cavalry the Gards des Consuls [Guard of the Consulates] that would later became the foundation of the Imperial Guard. Following the merger the Guides were renamed as the Escadron de Chasseurs-a-Cheval de La Gard Consulair [Company of light cavalrymen of the Consular Guard] then later the Chasseurs a Cheval de la Garde Imperiale [light cavalrymen of Imperial Guard], one of several cavalry units of the Imperial Guard. Early in 1800 Napoleon started his Italian campaign and the Gardes des Consuls would be involved [infantry and cavalry] in the Battle of Marengo(14 June 1800) from which the Guard became famous and it appears it was the renamed “the Guides a cheval” company that was present during the battle and led one of the final cavalry charges that contributed so much to Napolean’s victory.”[35]

[15] ”Bald Eagle” was an Inoffensive old Delaware warrior. He was on Intimate terms with the early settlers, with whom he hunted, fished and visited. He was well-known along our Monongahela border, up and down which he frequently passed in his canoe. Somewhere up the river, probably about the mouth of Cheat, he was killed—by whom, and on what pretense, Is unknown. His dead body, placed upright In his canoe, with a piece of corn-bread in his clenched teeth, was set adrift on the river. The canoe came ashore at Provance’s Bottom, where the familiar old Indian was at once recognized by the wife of William Yard Provance, who wondered he did not leave his canoe. On closer observation, she found he was dead. She had him decently buried on the Fayette shore, near the early residence of Robert McClean, at what was known as McClean’s Ford. This murder was regarded, both by whites and Indians, as a great outrage, and the latter made it a prominent item in their list of unavenged grievances.
[16] (h)This offense was committed by one Samuel Jacobs, aided and abetted by one John Ingman, an ‘indented servant” of Capt. Wm. Crawford—probably a negro slave. The pravocation and other circumstances of the case are unknown. The case acquired importance from the fact that the Governor of Virginia, contrary to the claim of that province to the territory embracing the locality of the killing, had sent one of the offenders back from Virginia to Pennsylvania to be tried for the offense—See “Boundary ControVersy.”
[17] (flThis case, as related by Joseph Mendenhall, au old soldier, and settler at the place known as Mendenhall’s Dam, in Menallen township, was thus:— About three and a half miles west of Unlontown, on the south side of the State, or Heaton Road, which leads from the Poor-House, through New Salem, &c., and within five or six rods of the road (on land now of Joshua Woodward) are the remains of an old clearing of about one-fourth. of an acre, and within It the remains of an old chimney. Two or three rods south-eastward is a small spring, the drain of which leads off westward Into the “Burnt Cabin fork” of Dunlap’s or Nemacolin’s creek; and still further south, some four or five rods is the old trail, or path called Dunlap’s road, which we have heretofore traced. The story Is, that In very early times—perhaps about 1767, two men came over the mountains by this path to hunt, &c., and began an improvement at this clearing, and put up a small cabin upon it. While asleep in their cabin, some Indians came to it, and shot them, and then set fire to the cabin. Their names are unknown. So far as known, this Is the only case of the kind that ever occurred within our county limits.

Archaeologists say that people were living here for about 12,000 years before Europeans arrived on the scene.(This coincides with the ending of the last ice age.) From 900 A.D. to about 1650, the area was inhabited by what are known now as the Monongahela People. They lived in stockaded villages of a couple of dozen houses. They farmed, growing corn, beans and squash along the floodplains and terraces of major rivers. They left in a cloud of mystery; none still lived here when the Europeans came over the mountains. No Native American sites are accessible to the general public, but Ancient habitations have been identified along the trail at Cumberland, Meyersdale, Fort Hill, Confluence, Connellsville, the Sewickley Creek area and McKeesport. The Indians that moved here after the Monongahelas were refugees from the east: the Delawares (Lenape), the Shawnee and later the Iroquois. These were the people encountered by the first French and English traders who came down the rivers and over the mountains.
