This resolution is neither fair nor useful, yet Europe could make an important contribution – it does have the means to be credible. To do so, it would have to continue to support the genuine development of the Palestinian territories, and of the Palestinian State in the future, laying down respect for fundamental rights as an absolute condition for its assistance.
There is no reason not to be fair. We need a lot of pride to sanction Israel, its people, its civilian army and its democratic vitality, and although collective responsibility makes sense, I am not sure that our history or our recent past really qualify us to make such judgments. When we ourselves were faced with similar difficulties, we did not react any better. Can Italy, following police violence in Genoa, or Sweden, after police violence in Gothenburg, give Israel appropriate lessons in maintaining public order? Can France, whose troops camped outside Srebrenitza during the massacres? Can Spain, which as we know suppressed Basque terrorists, or England, which censored information during the Falklands war, teach Israel lessons in transparency?
Rather than rushing to condemn Israel again…"@en1
