61. Shocked.
Max Merbaum ,   San Francisco   (01.07.11)
I'm shocked, shocked that the Hamas allows antisemitism within it's ranks! What brazen tackiness. Someone should send a letter to Mr. Mashaal and tell him this is very unbecoming of a civilized organization such as his.
62. AND
David ,   Haifa Israel   (01.07.11)
we deny the existence of palestinians, palestine and always will. go home to jordna nad egypt. next war we will wipe out the hamas and ALL their friends whether or not they hid behind women... cowardly thugs!
63. Zahar: From the gutter
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (01.07.11)
This mans brain is twisted. Full of hate and venom......Yet reputedly one of the wealthiest in the Middle East alongside his other Hamas gangsters Just what does HE do for Gaza apart from spouting and ranting? How much has he improved the lot of Gazans apart from lining his pockets? Gutter is where Zahar belongs
64. To: Jehudah Ben-Israel at No. 57
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.07.11)
So true! Kind of hard to understand that there are doctoral programs in Holocaust denial, but there you have it. Arab "scholarship" at its finest. It certainly goes a long way to explain the dearth of Nobel Prizes, international prizes in mathematics and the complete absence of academic journals in the Arab world. They have been intent on raising generation after generation of imbeciles and laughing-stock "intellectuals," and Abbas and Zahar are just two examples of the fruits of their labor.
65. #4 Mahmud Zahar's sons
Raphael ,   Netanya   (01.07.11)
were not innocent toddlers: Ages 24 and 26, Khaled and Hussam Zahar were killed fighting IDF (as "civilian" casualties of course)
66. This guy needs an attitude adjustment...
seadog1946 ,   Ong's Hat, NJ USA   (01.07.11)
perhaps a free trip to a former concentration camp or a holocaust museum/site... there are so many to choose from.
67. #26 Erudite Australia
Jackie   (01.07.11)
Well written Erudite. Yes, it is a well known fact (and that from the mouth of a Lebanese relative) who was married to her first cousin. The Bride concerned was constantly sick and had to have her medication sent regulrly from London, England. She had many children but decided to leave a couple of them behind whom she transferred her incurable illness on to her Grandchildren. Marry a Muslim, NOT ME! I enjoy being healthy in body and in mind and if I can't find a "normal" person, I'll go thru life without. Thank you very much!
68. al- Hazar
Moragh   (01.07.11)
It might be meaness on my part, nevertheless, I gotta say it: al-Hazar is one helluva looking ticket if ever I saw one. Why doesn't he have a face-lift, or has he already had one? And I wonder if a face-lift would remove the evil look from his eyes???
69.  Fabricators of lies...means Peace !
Roland Seener ,   London England   (01.07.11)
70. When I meet This
Brazen   (01.07.11)
scum bag I will be sure have him LICK the soles of my shoes with Israeli soil on them!!! Count on it.
71. A-ZAHAR'S CREDENTIALS
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (01.07.11)
A Zahar forced his way into my consciousness when he was one of the Hamas team negotiating ON BEHALF of kidnappers. I should believe an accessory to kidnapping?I don't think so.It's long overdue that he's made to pay for his crimes. I've long been disgusted at how a-Zahar is able to swan around Europe as he wishes.My big hope is that one day he'll go to Austria and open his big mouth there.They'll know how to deal with him. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
72. #35 - 90 years too late, Leon
William ,   Israel   (01.07.11)
So, you're saying that the racist actions of Arabs in 1920 is justified because of the "racist" actions by Israelis in 2010?? Let's take a moment and invite history into the context of today's situation, namely, the multiple times these Arabs were offered land for peace and rejected it. Gaza was given for peace and it became a rocket launching site....over 10,000 rockets launched against civilians in Israel before Israel ever considered a blockade of the entity. Apartheid laws in housing, huh? Yet, for years Arabs had the right to live in any neighborhood, as do Jews. However, never has an Arab been threatened or killed when moving to a Jewish neighborhood. In reverse, Jews were threatened and beaten for even considering moving to Arab neighborhoods. Take the case of Sheik Jarrah where the Supreme Court returned property to Jewish owners. Both the Left and the Arabs claimed it was not right to disturb their "Arab only" neighborhoods. Seems like racism and Apartheid are alive and well in the Arab community....for the past 90 years. The "Palestinians" have only one obligation and that's to accept Israel as a Jewish State next door, with the right to self-determination and existence just as they demand for themselves. They've refused over and over again. Seeing Jews in Israel finally lose their patience in the face of external and internal racism and greed is not surprising in the least. Seeing your obvious hackneyed approach to manipulation by removing historical context and attempting to justify war crimes with future events is also not surprising in the least.
