Bomb Syria says associate of president of Palestinian aid charity MAP
by Stephen Hewitt | Published
The president of the UK registered charity (number 1045315) ‘Medical Aid for Palestinians’ (MAP) has an associate in another organisation who advocates bombing Syria.
The MAP president - one Baroness Morris of Bolton - has a parliamentary web page that lists “Chairman, Conservative Middle East Council” as a “non financial interest”.
This means she is chairman of an organisation (CMEC) whose website today rather prominently displays a link to the "CMEC President's Statement on Airstrikes in Syria", dated September 2014 which starts like this:
The US led airstrikes in Syria are a vital step in the fight against ISIS and the involvement of the Arab states - Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan and Qatar - will be vital. I also welcome the news that Saudi Arabia has agreed to host a US led training program for moderate Syrian rebels.
