"Madam President, Gaza is once again at crisis point. Millions worldwide are protesting against the slaughter taking place there. Unfortunately, this joint resolution is a woeful attempt to address the reality of the current conflict. It neutralises the onslaught to avoid criticising Israel. The PPE and S&D cosy consensus is disgraceful. Over 200 Palestinians are dead. 1 250 have been injured, 17 000 have sought refuge, 1 300 buildings – including hospitals, homes and schools – have been destroyed by Israeli bombs, and it continues.
This is an appalling carnage. Attacks from both sides should stop. The causes of the conflict are ignored in this joint sham resolution. Israel’s collective punishment of Palestinians in the aftermath of the murder of three young Israeli boys, which we all deplore, is not mentioned. The arrests of hundreds of Palestinians, which contributed towards tension in the region, are not mentioned. Israel’s violation of international humanitarian law, with the expansion of settlements and the construction of apartheid walls and roads are not mentioned. Israel must end – and we must end – the impunity over such gross violations. Israel must lift the blockade on Gaza and stop the slaughter. This Parliament must show it cares, and it would befit the MEP who complained about us standing along with millions worldwide who are protesting to also show that he cares."@en1
