1. Nothing against the Jews over here
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (04.20.12)
Well guess what buddy? Those Jews over there (Israel) and the Jews over here (USA) are one and the same. We won't let let the Israelis down, otherwise it's like saying we'll sacrifice our left arm to save our right arm- we are one and the same body. Those of us living in the diaspora see it as an opportunity to advocate for Israel and interpret what the real meaning is of your words and what your true agenda is for all of us. We are not the naive fools that your words take us to be. Oh there might be a few who buy what you say but don't think for one minute we haven't gotten your message loud and clear these past years. Give it up already and try to build your own country- no one is taking that glad down.
2. Leave Palestinians' homes ..

get love, peace and Hummus
3. "Nothing against Jews in general". What a sweet man.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (04.20.12)
4. Hamas is referring to Jews
Eli ,   Israel   (04.20.12)
who erroneously think that Israel belongs to them because of the UN Resolution. He has no problem with Jews who believe that settling all of Israel including Yehuda and Shomron is because it's the G-d given land to Jews mentioned in the Torah.
5. Shocking! who'd of thunk Hamas wouldn't honour an agreement?
tf ,   herzliya il   (04.20.12)
6. living in the past
joe moor ,   south africa   (04.20.12)
the problem with most arabs is they are living in the past and cannot move forward and therefore are stuck. the ones bordering israel are afraid to do anything that would make them seem weak by all the other arab states. therefore they continue with this battle and ruin their lives. they have become a nation of "when we's" ...when we lived there it was...when we shot so and so ...etc ...it is always looking back and never looking forward. hamarse is a terror organization that continues with the 'when we' rubbish while ripping off its own population ....what a lot of rubbish saying 'we have anything against jews'....i remember rabid anti semites telling me that some of their best friends were jewish ...same kind of statement. why would a us based jewish newspaper even talk to them i say get rid of the head of the sake and the snake wont bother you any more
7. "Haaretz" has promptly removed info on that,
ab   (04.20.12)
no need to confront readers with the facts
8. and he's still alive... because...??!!
tom ,   tel aviv   (04.20.12)
9. THIS IS NOT YOUR LAND, LIAR.
one   (04.20.12)
it never was and never will be so stop lying through your teeth and go drown in your sorrow for being an idiot and not attempting to just achieve peace with your jewish neighbors.
10. Tell me something I dont know
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (04.20.12)
Marzook and Mashaal Would not know what Honesty and Values are if it was right in front of their faces If I was Haniyeh I would look very carefully over my proverbial shoulders...and not let them out of their sight Treachery I fear is in the air As for Zahar...his only hope is to be mentally certified
11. There will come a time
Paul ,   Jerusalem   (04.20.12)
when those that hate Israelis, come clean and admitted that their hatred is simple racism against Jewish ideology and success. When that happens it will become clear that the hatred stems from a Spiritual dysfunctional mentally that occurs when one can't reconcile their religious convictions with that of the Jewish presence in Israel, which is the will of G-O-D, and the outcome of the poisonous hatred itself.
12. feeling a lot better now
tiki ,   belgium   (04.20.12)
That this 'positiv addition to humanity has spoken. So noble of this kind & human Terror addict, to make this distinction.
13. i forget- why again did the forward speak with such scum?
American   (04.20.12)
14. A smart, educated hater of Israel and Jews
Susya Bar Dror ,   Jewish State Israel   (04.20.12)
Me too, I have nothing against muslims in general. Only those who wish to eliminate Israel and Jews and are occupying Western Jordan. Which are about 1.500.000.000 muslims.
15. A truly honest man
Ahmed Gündogan ,   CH   (04.20.12)
he makes the official standpoint of hamas clear to the world. Trust this man, as he is of highest ethics and a honest altruist. Thanks to Allah, that we muslims have such an outstanding islamic statesman.
16. Marzook, I have news for you.
Mike ,   St Albans, UK   (04.20.12)
it is not your land.
17. Marzook - "They have occupied my land..." - oh REALLY?
CK Tan ,   Singapore, Singapore   (04.20.12)
So WHY didn't the Arab palis FIGHT against the ILLEGAL occupiers between 1948 and 1967. Marzook? In FACT, the PLO Charter clearly and UNEQUIVOCALLY declares in 1964 - some 16 years AFTER modern Israel was founded - that WB and Gaza are NOT Arab palis' lands. Those two lands were and still ARE part of the ORIGINAL Palestine region designated as the JEWISH National Home. The REAL reason for the conflict, Marzook, is that - despite your DISINGENUOUS distinction of US and Israeli Jews - people like you are JEW HATERS, nothing more, nothing less.
18. What honour What peace; What land
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (04.20.12)
Wait till you have to find food ito feed your kids famine.. But you do not care Oil money about to start diminishing, so sand to sand.... Your land is way east of the Jordan, but your tribes rejects you.. Honour says go to Arab lands, Peace says go to Arab lands , land is outside what the BOOK defined as the land promised to Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
19. Hey, Abu Marzook...talk is cheap!
Z.Z. Coltrane ,   USA   (04.20.12)
God bless Israel!
20. This Is News Because . . . . ? ?
emanon ,   USA   (04.20.12)
21. Islamists were against Jews and killed Jews even when Israel
was not established   (04.20.12)
1400 years of hatred of Jews, and killing and teaching of hatred against Jews among Moslems shows how this man lies. but again for Islamists every lie, murder and stealing and occupation of other people's lands, if done for the sake of Islam and its dominance over the world is considered a virtue. Didn't they occupy all these lands that are considered Arab and Moslem states through war on other nations and occupation of their lands? Israel must never give even a piece of West Bank to Arabs. They should all be forced to go to Gaza or other Arab lands. they don't consider Jews as human beings and belive occupying Jewish land and other infidel's lands is their religious right. give even a little piece of west bank to Arabs and they will start even more killing of Jews and will want to occupy the whole Israel. there will be a hundred times more bloodshed.
22. This man having the chutzpah to say such things...
Naor ,   USA   (04.20.12)
This guy having the chutzpah to say such things speaks volumes about Israeli deterrence. In a sane world, this Hamas rat and his ilk would be begging for Israel to make peace with them. What is going on with Israel's leaders? Once feared and respected by the entire region, today even a group of rag-tag Palestinians with Kalashnikovs don't even fear Tzahal.
23. Marzook is a liar and he knows it
Ron from NJ ,   Newark USA   (04.20.12)
The Hamas charter declares a war of extermination against ALL Jews, regardless of their location. Go read it. Marzook knows most people, Jews included, are ignorant or wilfully choose to disregard this fly in the ointment. I am astounded that none of the previous talkbacks state this, but it is true.
24. No peace treaty- Israelis keep settling West Bank
Sam ,   Canada   (04.20.12)
Considering how much Palestinians keep blubbering about a settlement freeze one would think they would want a peace treaty. Turns out they don't want Jews coming to the West Bank but they want to flood Israel with Palestinians. What they will get is no Palestinians coming to Israel and Jews flooding the West Bank.
25. Marzouk has nothing against Jewish religion but Bible says l
Jouko ,   Finland   (04.20.12)
tells us that the land belongs to the jewish control. Hamas leaders have a problem - they don't even understand the problem!
26. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.20.12)
Your "homes?" YOUR HOMES? Your "home" -- to the extent wandering Bedouin tribes HAVE a home -- is the Hejaz in the Western Arabian desert. Then there is the not-so-little matters of (i) waging acts of terror and violence and Jews which predate the re-establishment of the State of Israel; (ii) voluntarily LEAVING your "homes" in Israel (only in the expectation of receiving much bounty as a result); and (iii) engaging in seven decades of violence and fomenting six wars. Sorry. You lose. All around. Suck it up and get the hell out of my country. We do not need your primitive and violent attitudes and your primitivity and your violence. Go back from whence you came -- Arabia. You are not wanted, nor welcomed, in the modern, progressive, tolerant Jewish state. Go find your place among any of the violence-inclined and incredibly primitive 22 Arab states. We've had as much of you as we can stand.
27. It seems to me ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.20.12)
... that the simplest solution is simply to say that there is a peace agreement with ALL ersatz "Palestinians" or with NONE. Put the ball in their court. Why should we have to pick and choose among squabbling Arab terrorists? Let them sort out their differences and then -- and ONLY then -- come with a serious offer of peace, beggar's bowl in hand. Otherwise, we're not interested; thanks. Israel won all the wars. The peace is non-negotiable; it is predicated upon our terms. That's how it works when dealing with the vanquished and defeated war-mongerers and terrorists.
28. Response to#15
John R ,   NYC USA   (04.20.12)
Mr. Marzook may be honest but he is no statesman. If a just peace is offered to Palestinians and Israelis in the form of a referendum, and it is majority approved, Hamas will either recognize it or be part of the dustbin of history. A statesman would recognize such a peace and Marzook is just a politician.
29. He thinks Jews have a death wish!
Baruch ,   Houston/Israel   (04.20.12)
We have seen what means hudna--it buys time for Hamas to rearm and refortify. These leaders have a corrupt monopoly on the people. War is their business, they have become extremely wealthy, and their currency is Jewish and Arab blood.
30. You don't say!
Sam M ,   UK   (04.20.12)
We already knew the score long before this thug opened his mouth! Of course he has nothing 'against' the Jews as long as they agree to live in perpetual servitude to their arab muslim masters. There are two types of palestinian terrorists those who admit they won't honour any 'peace treaty and those who feign sincerity to dupe the 'international community. There are plenty of up and coming slums in Amman that would be only too happy to accommodate these thugs and many would also relish an opportunity to share in the generous 'foreign aid' budget that these terrorists siphon off from their own people!
