"Mr President, this discussion simply shows how helpless we are and how little we are really able to do. Immense changes have taken place in this exceptionally troubled part of the world and a huge amount of chaos has followed these changes. It is possible that, at some time, something great will come out of this chaos, but at present, the chaos also involves great risks. Someone has switched off the magnetic poles. When they are working, we usually know which way is north and which way is south, we know who is good and who is evil, who is the aggressor and who is trying to defend themselves. Today, we cannot tell. The old world of Arab regimes has gone. It has gone and this last regime, the Syrian one, is also going; it is just a matter of time. In this situation, can we do any more than support all those who are working in favour of democracy, who are creating some sort of foundations for peace? Can we do any more than support democrats in Israel and Palestine? Can we do any more than strive to make sure that parties to peace treaties, such as treaties with Egypt and those between Israel and Jordan, keep their promises? Let us remember that this is a time in which something that is stable, democratic and predictable is a value in itself. Finally, I would warn all those who believe that Israeli settlements, which I do not support, are a threat to peace. These are the same people who are blind to the rockets fired into Israel from Gaza or to the Iranian military programme. This is, quite simply, a mistake."@en1
