lpv:translated text	"Madam President, last week, the Israeli delegation arranged a meeting concerning the so-called security wall with, among others, Mr Peled, the Israeli foreign ministry’s spokesman. He related a short anecdote about an American who, in a Moscow zoo, had, to his great surprise, seen a cage containing a wolf together with a lamb. It emerged that a new lamb was taken into the cage for the wolf every day. Mr Peled then compared Israel with the lamb and the Palestinians with the wolf, which, from my point of view, was certainly a case of turning matters on their head, because, to my knowledge, it is Israel that has occupied the West Bank and Gaza, that has nuclear weapons and one of the strongest armies in the world and that is backed by the United States. Nonetheless, this is very typical of Israelis’ self-image and behaviour. If the world does not put the strongest pressure conceivable upon Israel to tear down this completely disastrous wall, whatever the decision arrived at by the International Court, there will never be peace in the Middle East. At the same time, Sharon needs to know that he cannot replace the roadmap for peace with his own unilateral delineation of frontiers. I was, in actual fact, pleased to hear that Sharon wanted to remove the settlements in Gaza, until the moment it became clear that he only wanted to move them to the West Bank and that this was a stage in his now wanting to abandon the roadmap for peace and, in point of fact, to begin acting unilaterally. That is, of course, completely unacceptable. The settlements both on the West Bank and in Gaza are illegal and the biggest obstacles of all to peace. The allies went to war to force Saddam Hussein to comply with the UN resolutions. When has the international community contemplated forcing Sharon to do the same, with his being given a deadline for when all of Israel’s illegal settlements in the occupied territories must be removed? Once that has been done, Israel will, if appropriate, be able to build a protective wall along the Green Line, but, by then, that will be unnecessary because the Palestinian Authority will have been provided with the basis for effectively putting a stop itself to all the suicide bombings."@en1
