"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, if Arab dictators shoot at the crowd the West immediately responds, with no-fly zones, UN intervention, and so on. If, on the other hand, the Israeli air force bombs Gaza there is silence, because it is natural for Israel to bomb the Palestinian people. Yet the lack of a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict is the main cause of conflict between the Arab world and the West, and it provides strength to extremists. Today the Arab revolutions have brought a fresh wave of democracy to North Africa and the Middle East. This cannot fail to have an effect on the relationship between Palestinians and Israelis, too. The very existence of Israel is in some way linked to an understanding of this cause. Either Israel accepts the existence of a Palestinian state, or Israel will no longer be able to live in the same conditions in that region. Within this framework, I believe that it would be very hypocritical for Europe not to give the Palestinians the same support that it is giving to those who are today fighting for freedom and rights in the Arab world and elsewhere. This is because I believe that the right of people to have their own land, to govern themselves, and to have their own state is an inalienable right, and I believe that Europe should support the Palestinian resolution at the UN."@en1
