lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I think that Mr Patten’s comments – and I am sorry that he is not here at the moment – are absolutely unacceptable. In my view, to speak of the senseless destruction – and this is a point on which we obviously agree with him – of the Palestinian infrastructure and to speak of the selective killings of Palestinians without mentioning the Israeli victims is absolutely intolerable. But this is also symptomatic of the policy that Commissioner Patten has, for many months, been conducting towards Israel. I am pleased that the High Representative, Mr Solana, is here with us, because at least he can raise the quality of our debate slightly above the level we are used to in this House. Having said that, I do not think, Mr Cohn-Bendit, that we can resolve the conflict between Israel and Palestine by simply asking both sides to make a little effort, or even asking both to make a great effort. Mr Barak made some proposals with which we are all familiar and these proposals were not accepted. The Palestinian Authority existed and the Palestinian Authority has sanctioned the suicide attacks that were and still are carried out every day against Israel. That is the reality today. I think that the European Union has an opportunity to show true generosity, but not by means of the tourist trips that Mr Wurtz is suggesting. The European Union could show its true generosity by saying to the public, to the people of Europe, that they must have the courage to fully integrate Israel into the European Union, that this is the only way to guarantee security in Israel, to finally give five million Israelis the feeling that they can live in peace alongside the Palestinians, but within the European Union. This proposal has been put forward. Ladies and gentlemen, we must urgently begin to reflect on this in slightly more depth."@en1
