lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs has said that, in relation to the Middle East conflict, there have been too many statements and little action and that it is now time to act. Until that happens, I would like to stress that some representatives of the Union have made statements that I do not believe to be appropriate. For example, the statement of the Middle East envoy, Mr Marc Otte, who told the that – and I quote – ‘the Israeli separation wall has a role to play’. Perhaps its role is to prevent the establishment of a viable Palestinian state? Equally unacceptable to me is Point 2 of the conclusions of the Foreign Relations Council of 11 October, which I believe once again displays blatant double standards. Why does the Council condemn all forms of terrorism, ‘including rocket attacks on Israel’? Why, when it states that it condemns all forms of terrorism, does it not add: ‘including that which has killed more than 40 Palestinian children and injured more than 120 so far in Gaza in just 12 days’? Why does the Council state that Israel has the right to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks, without adding that the Palestinians have exactly the same right? If the Council restricts itself to condemning the disproportionate nature of Israeli military action in Gaza, why does it not use that hackneyed euphemism when referring to the Palestinians? Double standards? Ineffectiveness? Yes, in my view, yes. And I believe we have heard quite enough speeches. The Palestinians are still waiting. How long must they wait? They have been waiting since the Union's Venice Declaration of 13 June 1980."@en1
