lpv:translated text	"The voting session that we have just completed is yet another perfect illustration of the frequently hemiplegic behaviour of the European Parliament. How is it possible for this House to adopt, by a broad majority, a motion for a resolution in which it declares its ‘solid commitment to the common fight against terrorism’ alongside the United States whilst refusing, by a broad majority, to ask the Palestinian Authority to condemn terrorism? I am stunned that nearly 320 Members voted against Amendment No 6 which proposed something that seems perfectly obvious, in other words, that the support we are giving to the Palestinian Authority and its institutions must be coupled with a firm condemnation of the violence inflicted by the same Authority and the implementation of effective measures that will put an end to the terrorist attacks. What do we gain by using such disingenuous language? By moving away from a balanced policy, we are putting our diplomatic credibility at risk and we make ourselves appear to be biased. Do we want the next European mission to be turned away from Israel, just as the mission headed by the Belgian Presidency was? Why send such an ambiguous message to the terrorists, as if there were good and bad terrorists? Our condemnation of terrorism must be global and there should be no exception. This will merely enable us to be in a better position to state our desire to see the Palestinian people in a fully-fledged, sovereign State. All people aspire to a genuine State, which is the expression of their sovereignty, and the Palestinian people have the same right to this as everyone else. However, we shall not assist the leaders of the Palestinian Authority to act with the responsibility of State authorities whilst being complacent towards terrorism."@en1
