".
I have just come back from Palestine, with mixed feelings of anger and horror at the violence committed by the Israeli army in the towns declared military security zones: there has been a curfew for over a week, power and water cuts, the wounded refused treatment, countless humiliations, the list goes on. The population has been taken hostage and is being increasingly ill treated – there are rumours of massacres at Jenin and Nablus – and the people are isolated, following the refusal by the Israeli army to authorise the presence of witnesses, journalists or internationalists.
We must act quickly. We know that the people of the region will never know peace unless the Palestinians receive justice and their right to a state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, is recognised. This means a complete withdrawal from the occupied territories, dismantling the settlements, and allowing refugees to return home. A force should be able to intervene to protect the Palestinian people and ensure immediate compliance with the UN resolutions.
This was the message of numerous demonstrations of support for the Palestinian people all over the world, in which we participated.
I voted for the proposed resolution as it aims to break Europe’s silence of complicity, in particular by demanding the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement."@en1
