"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, while in East Jerusalem thousands of Palestinian homes continue to be demolished, even the Palestinian culture is a target of Israeli policy. Sadly, certain Israeli soldiers have made T-shirts with an image of a pregnant Palestinian woman with a bulls eye and the slogan: ‘1 shot, 2 kills’.
The Arab culture is under attack. The Palestinian Authority has chosen, together with the Arab nations, to make East Jerusalem – not Jerusalem as a whole – capital of Arab culture for 2009. Israel has arrested 20 activists – including international activists – who were simply putting on an event to celebrate Palestinian culture. It is an attempt to destroy any Palestinian presence whatsoever in East Jerusalem.
I therefore ask myself if the international community can do something to ensure that this event can be a success and that Jerusalem really is a shared capital. Let us move to make this event happen."@en1
