"Mr President, we must take note of the fact that this is a very serious and unambiguous report, which is indicative of an extremely European and, I would say, age-old culture: Monaco culture, Vichy culture, Mussolini culture, the culture of the Jerusalem Mufti. This is the respectable culture that is represented here.
There are some interesting points that I want to mention in the minute and a half that I have left, and I quote: ‘
[‘The current disturbing situation in Iraq is a further factor of destabilisation in the Middle East, which makes even more urgent and necessary a concrete perspective of peace… Alas…’] Alas, Mr Menéndez del Valle, of course, you are an orphan of Saddam Hussein! The Middle East was more stable then, but let us move on.
It is an interesting fact that, after three years of
60% of Palestinians live on less than two dollars per day. Two dollars per day, Mr Menéndez del Valle, is what your CAP, your Europe, gives to any four-legged creature born between Finland and southern Sicily. Here, however, you are offering peace: not work, nor even dignity. I agree with Mr Belder, who spoke before me. The UNDP, which does have some knowledge of the matter, has raised a problem: the right to democracy. The Israeli people choose; you do not like their choices, and I do not like them either, but do you want to take them away from them? We want democracy for the Palestinians, but for which ones? You want immediate elections, like those in Cambodia, which you, to your shame, applauded, and now there are murders, as we predicted.
I am sorry, Mr President, for having taken a second or two too long, but I know, and not from today, that I am working in a parliament that descends directly in line from Vichy, with a faint echo of the parliaments of the European Far East: you know which ones I am alluding to."@en1

"La situation inquiétante qui règne actuellement en Irak constitue un facteur supplémentaire de déstabilisation au Moyen-Orient, ce qui rend plus urgent les perspectives de paix concrètes."1
