lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the latest attacks and actions clearly demonstrate that, at the beginning of this academic year, the spiral of violence is unfortunately not coming to an end. This violence has cost the lives of more than 150 Palestinian children and adolescents and dozens of Israeli children. Following the statements we have heard this morning from the Presidency-in-Office of the Council and from the Commission, it is clear that the European Union is not remaining, must not remain, impassive in the face of this situation and that the objective of sitting down at the negotiating table – although many of us are longing for another Madrid Conference – seems practically utopian compared to the objective of an immediate halt to the violence. I do not know if the next meeting between Mr Peres and Mr Arafat will lead to that halt to the violence – time will tell – but what does seem clear is that, in order for violence to end, I believe two conditions are essential. Firstly, the will of the two sides. It is clear that this ‘dialogue’ of suicide bombings and bombings by F15s and F16s must end. The moderates must speak up, as Mr Patten rightly said. I believe that this is the time for the moderates and, in this regard, the European Union must support all the options. Secondly, the international community must act: the United States, Russia – where the Israeli Prime Minister is today – and the European Union, which must hold all the cards so that it can play its rightful role on the basis of two undeniable premises. One was mentioned by the Presidency-in-Office of the Council: international law is being permanently violated and it must be reestablished. And, secondly, the European Union must have a single commitment and that commitment is the cause of peace. But two things must be taken into account: that peace must be the fruit of justice, Madam President, and that moderation becomes a vice when it rejects a commitment to a just cause such as the cause of peace."@en1
