lpv:translated text	"Mr President-in-Office of the Council, to be frank, I believe Mr Sharon only wants military, not political options. He has once again used disproportionate force. It is true that the Palestinian suicide attacks are despicable – we all know that – but what did Mr Sharon do during the periods in which there were no attacks? Let us remember his requirement in June 2001 that seven days should pass without violence before he would make any political concessions. In December 2001, there were three weeks of peace; in 2002, six weeks. Did Mr Sharon make the slightest political gesture? No, but during those six weeks of peace the killed dozens of Palestinians. I ask the Council, here and now, is this not a bad sign? Mr Sharon carried out military attacks at key moments with the intention of invalidating periods in which there were no suicide attacks. The last time, when all the Palestinian groups, under pressure from Mr Arafat, were considering the possibility of putting an end to suicide attacks against civilians in Israel, Mr Sharon’s political response was to bomb an entire building in the Gaza strip, killing dozens of people, including eleven children. Mr Sharon – let us be clear about this – has never made, nor will he ever make, any political concessions, except those imposed upon him, because he is not interested in peace. Mr Sharon is interested in pacification, humiliation, the capitulation of the Palestinians, but not in a genuine, fair peace. The situation, Mr President, is extremely serious with regard to Mr Arafat’s physical safety, the Palestine identity, which has been crushed by Israel – and more specifically by Mr Sharon – and the area, because Mr Sharon will continue on the warpath until there is an invasion of Iraq, unilaterally decided on by the United States, at which point Mr Sharon will take advantage of the situation to definitively destroy any remaining fragment of the Oslo process, of the 'peace of the brave'. Will the EU continue to limit itself to expressing its deep concern over what is going on?"@en1
