While it is true that we share many of the concerns expressed in the resolution, it is also true that these fall well short of the necessary denunciation and condemnation of Israel’s colonialist policy with regard to Palestine and its people.
Among other aspects:
Once again, the resolution places the aggressor and aggressed, occupier and occupied on the same level, thereby ignoring the terrorism of the Israeli State;
The resolution does not condemn the criminal embargo imposed by Israel on the Gaza Strip and its population nor does it denounce the connivance or silence of the United States of America or the European Union in this respect;
The resolution says nothing about the deplorable statements made by Commissioner Frattini who is responsible for justice and home affairs and who stated that the EU would be prepared to ‘take on board Israeli concerns and interests in a way that was not on our agenda in the first years of intifada’. It is at the very least abominable that someone who talks so much about terrorism not only ignores Israel’s terrorism but is prepared to cooperate with it.
For our part, we continue to condemn Israel’s policy of apartheid against Palestine and to defend full compliance with the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, enshrined in numerous UN resolutions."@en1
