He argues the executive board is "stacked full of people who denied a genocide" is taking place in Gaza and is populated by figures who believe in a "Greater Israel". Hearst points out that the only member with regional experience is Tony Blair, but adds that this experience amounts to "invading Iraq and unleashing a devastating seven-year civil war".
