"Mr President, the wall being built by the Israeli Government will reduce the already tiny West Bank territories by 58%. This is indeed an abomination in economic and human terms, but it is also a real provocation in political terms. It brands all the inhabitants of Palestine as terrorists, which is scandalous. The wall will not protect Israeli society from the violence and barbarism of suicide bombings against civilians. The building of this wall makes the destruction of the Palestinian state possible, security for either of the two peoples unlikely, and also dashes any hope of peace in the Middle East. By attempting to use the attack on Syria to exact revenge for the Haifa bombing, in contravention of all international law, Sharon has assumed responsibility for putting the whole region to fire and the sword.
This killing frenzy will abate only if force is used. The European Union has the means to intervene, if it chooses to do so. The Council must, therefore, suspend the association agreement while the occupation lasts. The European Union can also demand that this illegal wall be destroyed, in accordance with the famous Roadmap. The European Union must prevent the threats against President Arafat from being carried out. Unfortunately, however, it will not do so without a mass demonstration of solidarity on the part of the people of Europe, appalled by the humiliation, destitution and despair of the Palestinians."@en1
