"Mr President, I abstained from the vote on the Israeli attack on the Gaza aid flotilla because the resolution does not condemn in strong enough terms the campaign of violence being carried out by the Israeli army against the people of Palestine in Gaza and on the West Bank.
The murder of nine civil rights workers disgusted people all over the world. It was a case of piracy on international waters. Israel’s rejection of an independent inquiry cannot be accepted; the government of the United States – under President Obama – must also be condemned as it did not denounce the slaughter. One cannot trust the United Nations to respond to the problems of the Middle East.
We saw international demonstrations against the attack all over the world. It is important to mention that there was a large parade in Tel Aviv, in which both Palestinians and Israelis took part. And in reality, it is through large-scale movements of workers and poor people in Palestine – as well as in Israel – that a solution can be found to the Middle East question and that a new democratic, socialist society can be established in the Middle East as a whole."@en1
