lpv:translated text	"Madam President, this is not, unfortunately, the first time that Israel has vandalised religious and cultural monuments and contravened the Venice Charter and all the UNESCO and ICOMOS conventions, without the world’s protesting. This time, the world’s protests should be as vociferous as they were following the barbaric destruction of the Buddha statues in Afghanistan. We are concerned here with an irreplaceable heritage of buildings of religious and cultural value, from the Mameluk period in the fifteenth century to the Ottoman period in the nineteenth century – cultural treasures that belong not merely to the Palestinians but to the whole world. The destruction of these cultural treasures has nothing to do with security and self-defence. It is pure vengeance, and vengeance that will increase the spiral of violence in which, far removed from the public eye, Israeli soldiers and settlers kill Palestinian civilians with tanks and rifles, while young Palestinians, in the full media spotlight, blow themselves up. More than three hundred homes face destruction. The historic town of Hebron, with its unique architecture and religious importance, will never be the same again. It is a disgrace, and the EU must call upon the world community to accept responsibility for stopping the destruction."@en1
