His name is Ismail Abu Shanab. Here's some more from the interview:

Jarret: "You & your group have just murdered a lot of innocent civilians, is that because you hate Jews and want them ... (gone) between the Mediterranean and Jordan River"?

Shanab: "This is a long question... please, We do not hate Jews. We have been suffering from Jews terror since 1948. I consider myself one of...the refugees who was expelled from our original towns - they put us - we are... living in refugee camps...the Israeli expulsion..."

Jarret: "Your group issued this statement: 'We will not stop our resistance as long as one Zionist breathes air.' That sir is a vow of genocide - How can you possibly say with any credibility that you don't hate Jews? and that your group isn't out to rid the world of all Jews?"

Shanab: "This statement - is directed - We are speaking about those occupying our land. It has nothing to do with any Jew living all over the world or who want to live in peace with the palestinian. It is against the military forces who are now occupying, who are killing innocent palestinian and causing suffering..."

Jarret: "When you deny what your group is about sir - I don't believe you. The Hamas covenant of 1988 - here's what is says in the first paragraph: 'Israel will exist until Islam will obliterate it' - Sir, you don't want Peace, do you? You don't want the road map, You don't want Abu Mazen to succeed, do you?"

Shanab: "You are working hard to research this hard - you speak words - but you neglect the whole reality, we have hundreds, thousands of Israeli troops killing, bringing blood to Palestinian land, please look at the ground and don't look at the words in the books - this is not the reality - we want to live in peace - let the Israeli withdraw from our land. I will give you thousands of papers of Israeli against Palestinian and Muslim... this is not the reality - we are human beings, we want to live in peace, let the Israeli withdraw from our land"

Jarret: "Yesterday on our air, Arafat condemned your attacks..."

Shanab: "No..."

yourthe attacks - is Arafat your enemy or is he your duplicitous partner in terror? Which is it?"

Shanab: "No, Arafat condemned the Israeli activity and condemned Palestinian resistance. That is up to Arafat, We want to live in peace"

Jarret: (see the quote that started this thread...)

(Mostly paraphrased, I typed as quickly as I could. ) :)

IOW, "Who are you going to believe -- me or your lying eyes??"

Finally somebody is willing to confront these people and expose their stupid remarks.

Just for the record - Israel is not on their land! GOD gave this land (and lot of the surrounding territory) to Abraham.

Great job! Thanks!

Jarret: "...The Hamas covenant of 1988 - here's what is says in the first paragraph: 'Israel will exist until Islam will obliterate it'...?"

Shanab: "You are working hard to research this hard...please look at the ground and don't look at the words in the books - this is not the reality - we want to live in peace -

Can be translated as, hey, are you going to believe your eyes or what I tell you!
