"Mr President, [no sound] … quite correctly observed when Europe does not anchor itself firmly to its values, it sets itself adrift. We have much of which to be proud in our history, but the burned scars on children in Gaza have left a permanent imprint on the minds of our citizens and are now permanently etched on our humanity.
Far too many of our governments have been caught off guard and out of step with public opinion: rushing to provide denials as Europeans watched the horrors inflicted on innocents unfolding second by second, their suffering and hopelessness capturing the European conscience, pleading for calls of ‘never again!’ Today our parliaments are reflecting that public mood, one after another lining up to state clearly that the time has come to give the Palestinians a state and a homeland in order to protect them. There should be no parliament from where that call should be louder or clearer than the European Parliament.
Madam Vice-President of the Commission, you quite clearly have recognised the urgency we feel that this matter should be dealt with, yet illegal settlements continue as we sit here debating. A failure to do all in our power to end such horrors so that this should never happen again is to unanchor Europe and set ourselves adrift from our values and our humanity. Madam, be innovative, and this Parliament will be with you."@en1
