"Mr President, I am delivering this explanation of vote on my own behalf. I voted for Amendment No 1 on the Israeli reservists refusing to serve in the occupied territories, against the instruction of the Group of the Party of European Socialists. This instruction was given purely for tactical reasons, because if this amendment had been adopted, the Group of the Europe People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats would not have voted for the resolution. I feel, however, that if there are men and women in Israel and the Palestinian territories who have the courage to say no to war, there is a glimmer of hope, and this is a wonderful example of courage to which we must cannot, under any circumstances, fail to respond. In any case, I feel – and I want to believe – that history will prove these reservists right."@en1
