lpv:translated text	"Mr President, numerous speakers have protested about Mr Le Pen's presence here during the debate on the Middle East. Unfortunately, it is not just our economic and social policies; it is also our policy in the Middle East that feeds this sort of extremism. We all know what ideas movements such as the National Front harbour. They harbour ideas of national splendour. Which is only natural when our people see Europe as the lackey of the United States, blind, deaf and dumb to the genocide of the Palestinians, and turn their back on established political forces, charmed by the magic flute of past national splendours. They harbour anti-Semitic ideas. Which is only natural when Europe allows Jenin to become a latter-day Warsaw ghetto, when – in a Europe with the blood of the Jews on its hands – voices can again be heard saying ‘the Jews are to blame’ and forces have started fishing in the murky waters of anti-Semitism. They harbour xenophobic ideas. Which is only natural when, instead of letting these Islamic and Arab countries move towards secure regimes and enjoy social cohesion and birth control, we throw them into the conflagration of the Middle East. And what will the upshot be? Will it be less immigration, fewer Maghreb nationals and fewer opportunities for certain parties to talk of xenophobia? I should like to close, Mr President, by saying that we have a duty to intervene at once in the Middle East in order to protect the Palestinians, in order to protect Israel from anti-Semitism and in order to protect the very future of democracy in Europe."@en1
