lpv:translated text	"Madam President, we are still living with the consequences of a mistake made in 1947. If there had been no unilateral recognition of Israel and the state of Palestine had been recognised back then, we would have saved a great deal of bloodshed. One statistics office has concluded that all the blood shed in the area could have saved one million children with blood transfusions. All these tragedies which happened with the twin towers, in London, in Madrid and elsewhere are the result of this policy in 1947, which we are continuing today. Why go into interminable details? Will we have the strength tomorrow to recognise the state of Palestine? That would be some sort of progress. We are blowing the final whistle when the score is 90 – 10. When the umpire blows his final whistle when the score is 50 – 50, he leaves the pitch with his head held high. When he blows his final whistle when the score is 60 – 40, the game is over, but when he blows his final whistle when the score is 90 – 10, all hell breaks out both on the terraces and on the pitch. We therefore are responsible for this hell, because we blew our final whistle when the score was 90 – 10. The world is going to the dogs and we hear references in Parliament to Iran’s nuclear weapons every day. No one has ever spoken about Israel’s nuclear weapons and that is wrong. If we want to be fair, if we want to believe our citizens and for them to trust us, we must administer justice and there will only be justice with the recognition of the state of Palestine."@en1
