lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is easy to condemn suicide attacks, but what should we do if we were in the same situation? What did those of our parents who lived in occupied countries 60 years ago do? They put up resistance. When I saw the Berlin Wall in 1961, it was the first such wall I had ever seen. Now, Israel is building a wall of shame. Saddam Hussein was toppled because he was suspected of having weapons of mass destruction. We know that Israel has weapons of mass destruction. The South Africa of apartheid fell because racist oppression was being practised in the country. We know that Israel is built entirely upon racist oppression. The military junta in Chile fell partly because politicians were being murdered. We know that Israel has politicians murdered the whole time. East Germany, Saddam Hussein, apartheid and the Chilean junta are gone, but Sharon’s regime of oppression remains. What are we doing? What is the EU doing? We are not doing a lot. We are not even applying the Association Agreement. We are not even breaking off trade relations. Why cannot we send our fantastic peace troops to Palestine in order to protect the Palestinian people? Israel will not continue to exist if the present development continues. The Middle East is often compared with the Crusader empires that lasted for 200 years. A quarter of that period has elapsed. It is possible that Israel will continue to exist for 100 years with the help of US money and weapons and the EU’s passivity; but, if no one intervenes, our grandchildren will perhaps witness the destruction of Israel. That is not something I wish to see. I can assure you that it would be no tea party. Let us try to prevent such an occurrence."@en1
