"Mr President, I was also in Jenin yesterday and I was amazed, as a doctor and a teacher in the Faculty of Medicine, as a professor, at the words of the Director of the Jenin Hospital, when he expressed his regret that he could not attend to the wounded who were dying in the area around the hospital because tanks, machine guns and helicopters were preventing him from doing so. This is a tragedy, it has nothing to do with security. To terrorise a population is pure State terrorism. And I would therefore like to thank Mr Piqué who, when he rightly condemns the terrorism of the Palestinian suicide bombers, also condemns just as roundly the terrorism of Israel, because if we do not have yardsticks, our credibility could be called into question.
I would like to point out that the cause of the failure of the peace process stems from the fact that it is not acceptable for one State to occupy another and establish colonies within it, as is happening at the moment. This reminds me of what happened when Germany invaded France and it is completely unacceptable; this situation leads to a logical reaction against the occupying army, against the occupiers. Anybody, any soul, would rebel on seeing the wealth of the colonies and the misery of the refugee camps. We must therefore immediately recognise the Palestinian State and the fact that Palestine, as a State, can put its claims to the international community."@en1
