lpv:translated text	"I have voted in favour of the motion for a resolution tabled by the Christian Democrats that form the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats. In the final vote, I voted against the joint motion tabled by the Group of the Party of European Socialists, the Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party, the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance and the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left. This was adopted by 269 votes to 208, with 22 abstentions. The fact that the resolution was adopted by so slight a margin makes it politically weak. The truth is the only way to real peace, reconciliation and co-existence. The resolution adopted chooses to criticise the State of Israel twelve times, but the Palestinians and the Palestinian Authority only three times. Neither Hamas nor Islamic Jihad – organisations labelled jointly by the United States and the EU as terrorist – is mentioned or criticised in the resolution, and nor are the Hezbollah group and the al-Aqsa Brigade, designated by the United States as terrorists. In the adopted resolution, the European Parliament instead threatens suspension of the Association Agreement by the EU (paragraph 8). Reference is made to the fact that, at the border with Lebanon, there are clashes which could spill over to the whole region (paragraph 2), without its being stated that Hezbollah, which is supported by Iran and Syria, is launching rocket attacks against Israeli cities. The resolution encourages desertion in the Israeli army. The PPE-DE Group’s motion for a resolution was an important attempt to make the European Parliament and the EU significantly more relevant in relation to both Israel and the Palestinians by giving the most serious attention to the anxieties and suffering of both parties rather than of, mainly, just the one."@en1
