How many more children have to die in Gaza, how many Palestinian homes have to be demolished to make way for the construction of illegal settlements, how many years will the occupation continue in violation of international law before the European Union takes seriously its own fundamental principle that human rights must be respected not only by Member States but also by states that have an association with the EU? How often will Israel be able to flatten Gaza, and how many times will the damage wrought by the aggressor be paid for out of European taxpayers’ money and aid, and public buildings and homes rebuilt before the EU finally brings its influence to bear to induce the Jewish state to end the destruction? How long will Israel be able to keep Gaza, the world’s biggest prison, under total blockade before the EU finally says enough is enough. The European Union – which takes such pains to ensure that the rule of law, legal principles and legislative provisions are comprehensively applied, for example when it concerns regulation in Hungary – should suspend the current association agreement with Israel with immediate effect until that country is prepared to abide by the EU’s binding principles concerning human rights. The vote today concerned an agreement which, on the contrary, expressly extends the rights of the aggressor country as an associated state. As someone who respects human rights I therefore had no option but to vote no."@en1
