Hamas leader in Lebanon: "We never had problems with the Jews, in Palestine or in the rest of the Arab world. The problems of the Jews started in Europe. They were expelled from England, from France, from Spain. Germany executed them in their gas chambers. Every time Europe expelled them, the Jews came to our land and lived here peacefully. They could practice their religion and they were active members of society as lawyers, businessmen, etc. The problem arises when they become an occupying force. It is not a question of Jews, but of occupation. If the occupation ends, our problems will end. And we know that there are many Jews all over the world who reject the occupation and support the Palestinians in their right to resist and want to be free."
