lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, Hamas is evil: it is responsible for some of the most vile terrorist attacks ever witnessed. The fact that it now has attracted a democratic mandate does not alter or dilute its terrorist persona. Coming from Northern Ireland, I can speak from an experience of a like terrorist organisation – the IRA – also securing an electoral base. There, fundamental mistakes were made in the hope of encouraging them away from the paths of terror. The values of democracy were distorted, unwarranted concession after concession was made, but as each was pocketed, new demands appeared. That is how terrorist organisations think and work, as they fight their long, multi-faceted war. I therefore urge that a firm and resolute stand be taken, with no fudging and no budging from the principle that no aid can flow from the EU to an authority run by the terrorists of Hamas. Bend that rule and we and democracy will be the losers."@en1
