lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Ariel Sharon is a man of war, it is part of him, he promised to destroy Oslo and that is what he is doing at the moment. He confuses the aim of fighting terrorism with the liquidation of the Palestinian Authority and the daily carrying out of massacres. Using his tanks, and with our consent, he has managed to establish a new political-administrative category: now there are occupied Palestinian territories and re-occupied Palestinian territories. I welcome the advice given by President Bush that the perpetrators of the massacres withdraw from the places they have cruelly and unnecessarily destroyed. Powell has pointed out that the President does not give orders to the Prime Minister of a sovereign country, but it does not appear that the advice has done much good. Sharon will decide to order a withdrawal when the massacre is finished. Unless we all, those of us who do not carry out massacres, decide jointly that there is a limit, even for sovereignty, when that sovereignty is employed in a way that goes against the dignity and ethics of humanity. I found Secretary of State Powell more lucid when he said that we may be radicalising a whole new generation of Palestinians and that many new terrorists are perhaps waiting to act when the current operation ends. That is the possible effect, to put an end to the moderates. The day before yesterday, as we know, almost a million Moroccans demonstrated in Rabat against Sharon and in support of Palestine. They are moderates or radicals. If amongst all of us we do not stop Sharon now, hate and radicalisation will spread throughout the Islamic world. We must take concrete and appropriate action now."@en1
