"Mr President, we are currently in an exceptional situation, and I would like to follow on from what Mr Pöttering said, because that was exactly what needed to be said. There is a lot of movement in North Africa, the Middle East and Palestine, and we support the fully legitimate right of people everywhere to be able to live in freedom and in a state governed by the rule of law. The only way that we can help the Palestinians now is to use peaceful and entirely lawful means, namely to support them in the United Nations. That will be extremely beneficial to the EU.
However, it is also Israel’s only chance. The promised land is on the verge of becoming the lost land. Extremist, religious, nationalistic fanatics have completely taken over the reins of power, and we are leaving the peace supporters in Israel in the lurch. I have heard so many pleas from them now for us to come and help them. We will not be able to do anything if the United States gives up and Europe takes a passive stand and is more concerned about being united than about meeting its obligations. Therefore, I would sincerely call on the Council, the Commission and the High Representative to take appropriate action. Choose the path of peace. Support the peace movements in North Africa and in Palestine and Israel. They deserve our help."@en1
