"I too have just returned from the Jenin refugee camp, and it is impossible to capture in words the horror of what we have seen and heard over the past couple of days. A man had been attempting for four days to locate his brother under the rubble with his bare hands, while Israel obstructed the bulldozers that were needed for this. A doctor was not allowed to attend to a bleeding man on the street until this man had bled to death. A Palestinian family had been living in East Jerusalem for fifty years and was evicted from their home on Monday night in order to make room for Israeli settlers. Computers of the Palestinian Ministry of Education were piled up by Israeli soldiers and subsequently blown up with grenades. Can someone tell me what these acts have to do with the fight against terrorism? The Israeli Government is not only fighting terrorism. Sharon is maliciously destroying the Palestinian infrastructure and, with it, Palestine’s hope, and people without any hope are driven to acts of despair. Loathsome suicide attacks are then the end result. And this is how Sharon himself contributes to Israel’s lack of security, which he claims he wants to promote. Israel’s security can only be guaranteed if we remove the causes of this despair: the colonisation and occupation. However, Sharon has indicated he would like to build new settlements. How is this supposed to guarantee Israel’s security? Finally, we are all shocked by the growth in anti-Semitism in Europe. We condemn this emphatically and call on governments to take vigorous action. However, it is unacceptable to do as Mr Perez does and instantly label everyone who levels criticism at Israel as anti-Semitic, and it is a very easy way out of addressing well-founded international criticism."@en1
