".
We are all deeply affected by the bloody events in the Middle East, following which hopes of peace are fading. We cannot remain indifferent in the face of attacks that terrify the children of Israel, and we cannot remain indifferent towards the suffering of the Palestinian people, a people that has been oppressed and humiliated.
When Mr Rabin was assassinated, Mr Netanyahu established further colonies, and hopes of peace grew fainter. When peace was given a second chance thanks to Camp David, let us not forget that Mr Barak made more concessions than ever, but Mr Arafat did not accept the extended hand of peace.
As Europeans, we cannot stand and watch this tragedy unfold, nor accept the insulting treatment to which the European Union delegation was subjected. It is clear that the attitude of the Israeli Government marks a turning point in relations between Israel and the European Union. Nevertheless, we must not abandon the Israeli people.
The aim of the draft compromise resolution submitted at the plenary session of the European Parliament is to examine the possibility of suspending the EU-Israel Association Agreement in the future, but I would emphasise that penalising the Israeli people may not be the best way to get through to the person we want to influence, namely Ariel Sharon."@en1
