Ten years ago, the whole world expected that it would be possible to solve the conflict between Israel and Palestine peacefully in the short term. Instead of disputing each other’s right to exist and forcing neighbouring peoples to emigrate, they would live peacefully side by side from then on, without humiliation, obstacles or fear. Then, however, the extremes on both sides saw another chance to sow the seeds of hatred. Fear of the other’s violence is leading people to choose the path of violence. The majority of the inhabitants of Israel does accept a Palestinian State, but, back home, gives the power of government to an opponent of that State, because it sees in him its best chance of protection against Palestinian violence. In Palestine, groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad have grown powerful because people think that, in any case, agreement can never be reached with the occupying power, which is seizing ever more land for settlements and the construction of a wall. It seems that relations between Israel and Palestine will be forever hopeless as a result. On 12 November, the moderate powers from both countries are due to come together in Geneva to present a negotiated final solution for a just peace. Fortunately, this report moves in that very direction, but it is important that a comfortable majority in the European Parliament emphatically supports the peace plan today by adopting Amendment No 11."@en1
