"Madam President, Mr Solana said that we could not continue to give money. Something had to happen. What the EU will, in actual fact, do is of course a matter for speculation. The fact is, the EU has not done much other than make payments and adopt statements. I would very much recommend that, firstly, attention be given to the proposal from Mr Romeva i Rueda about cancelling the cooperation agreement so that there are at least some minimum consequences of continually breaching the agreements. Secondly, I wish to support what was said just now about giving the Geneva Agreement a much clearer status on this road map. It might then be seen where the road is heading and an appeal finally made for more cogent discussion of the subject. It seems, in fact, that a terrorist is being defined as someone who kills himself. Anyone who has military helicopters and missiles is not however a terrorist, but a soldier, and it is immaterial whether very many more civilians are killed by these means than by suicide bombs. It cannot help that we continue to engage in double-speak in this connection. We must talk to Israel in the same way that we talk to other grown-up states and demand that a democratic nation be alert to these matters. The way things are now heading, we are not going to have two viable states. We shall have no viable states because Israel will die in the process, and it is therefore vital for both Israel and Palestine that we begin also to speak to the Israelis as if they could tolerate being talked to as grown-up people."@en1
