Strange No Palestinians in the board. It look like having Ghislaine Maxwell, oversee her victims support, for the sex trafficking. And more strange that the same people that bombed Palestine, are the people that call it Peace. Is like having Hitler lead the peace of Israel. Blair is a criminal that caused at least 1 million deaths in Iraq war. Some people are calling this the Board of Monsters and some Board of Criminals.
