"Mr President, terror and trauma go hand in hand in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians; they are the dual results of one single craving for destruction shared by the terrorist organisations Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah. Meanwhile, the Palestinian politician, Mustafa Barghouti, wrote that – and I quote – ‘the silent majority of the Palestinian people do not identify with the terrorists or with the Palestinian authority’. Looking towards the crucial local elections in December, Barghouti urges Europe, once and for all, to give firm support to the democratic forces and processes in the Palestinian regions instead of to Arafat’s gigantic apparatus of oppression. I would like to hear what the Council’s High Representative has to say in response to this insistent appeal. The Palestinian appeal is at the same time a test of the European Union’s willingness to fight terrorism effectively. Do the Council and Commission think that the conclusion of an association agreement with Syria compatible with this?
Secondly, it is well enough known that the Assad regime facilitates terrorist operations against the State of Israel by Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah. Yesterday, there was an article in the German press – in ‘Die Welt’ to be precise – about the way in which terror has made the Israeli people a traumatised nation. A trauma expert confirms that Israel is still a country made up of survivors. It is not only for reasons of history that this should be of concern to us in Europe."@en1
