lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this evening I wish to voice my anger and to protest against the treatment that is being meted out to the ships from the ‘Gaza Freedom Flotilla’ and the pacifist militants who had the courage to board the boats to protest against the blockade on Gaza, this repeated violation of international law. None of the ships will be allowed to leave. Militants are being dragged before the courts; ships have been sabotaged. Everybody condemns the blockade, but once again we are giving way to pressure from Israel, as it threatens a repeat of last year’s violence and killings. The Greek Government tells us it wanted to avoid a blood bath. Where is the law? Those who support the Palestinian people are insulted and even brought before the courts. In France, just under 400 politicians were recently called collaborators and compared to those who denounced Jews during the Second World War, because of their support for the fleet. This is unacceptable. I am sick and tired of these double standards. What justification can Israel give for continuing to abuse and kill Palestinians? It may have proclaimed itself to be the Jewish State, but this does not mean it speaks for all the Jews in the world. There are people proving this to us every day. The Holocaust was a horrific tragedy … and I am among those who think it could have been prevented; however, this does not give Israel the right to do whatever it wants with complete impunity. Let us stop treating it differently from any other state. In the face of the failure by politicians, citizens are taking pacifist initiatives themselves. Let us help them continue their peaceful protests and fight together to lift the blockade on Gaza."@en1
