"Ladies and gentlemen, we must stop at once the flow of money to Palestine, where Hamas has taken power. This is clearly a terrorist movement, which does not recognise the state of Israel, which does not want to disarm and which lives by Sharia law. How will Hamas make use of EU taxpayers’ money? Will it burn out people’s eyes, stone women or cut off people’s hands? How many people will Hamas’s weapons kill?
Ladies and gentlemen, we must admit that the Union has to take its fair share of the blame for the powder keg of the Middle East, having buried its head in the sand and pursued an ambiguous policy. I am Czech and my country was one of the first to supply weapons to the new state of Israel in 1948, so that they could defend their territory. At the time, the current EU Member States expressed horror at the holocaust and supported the establishment of a Jewish state. How have they acted since? Whom has the Union unequivocally supported – Israel or Palestinian terrorists? Please let us put a stop to this double-speak and say loudly and clearly that Hamas, which for a number of years has been receiving money indirectly from the Union, pursues iniquitous policies, and that EU citizens will not pay for them out of their taxes."@en1
