In an interview on Lebanese television on July 28 , 2014 , Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdan repeated the blood libel myth : In an interview with '' CBS This Morning '' on July 27 , 2014 , Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal stated : On January 8 , 2012 , during a visit to Tunis , Gazan Hamas PM Ismail Haniyeh told The Associated Press on that he disagrees with the anti-Semitic slogans . " We are not against the Jews because they are Jews . Our problem is with those occupying the land of Palestine , " he said . " There are Jews all over the world , but Hamas does not target them . " In response to a statement by Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas that Hamas preferred non-violent means and had agreed to adopt " peaceful resistance , " Hamas contradicted Abbas . According to Hamas spokesman Sami Abu-Zuhri , " We had agreed to give popular resistance precedence in the West Bank , but this does not come at the expense of armed resistance . " In May 2009 , senior Hamas MP Sayed Abu Musameh said , " in our culture , we respect every foreigner , especially Jews and Christians , but we are against Zionists , not as nationalists but as fascists and racists . " In the same interview , he also said , " I hate all kinds of weapons . I dream of seeing every weapon from the atomic bomb to small guns banned everywhere . " In January 2009 , Gazan Hamas Health Minister Basim Naim published a letter in '' The Guardian '' , stating that Hamas has no quarrel with Jewish people , only with the actions of Israel . In October 1994 , in a response to Isreael 's crackdown on Hamas militants following a suicide bombing on a Tel Aviv bus , Hamas promised retaliation : " Rabin must know that Hamas loves death more than Rabin and his soldiers love life . " Hamas has been explicit in its Holocaust denial . In reaction to the Stockholm conference on the Jewish Holocaust , held in late January 2000 , Hamas issued a press release that it published on its official website , containing the following statements from a senior leader : This conference bears a clear Zionist goal , aimed at forging history by hiding the truth about the so-called Holocaust , which is an alleged and invented story with no basis . ( ... ) The invention of these grand illusions of an alleged crime that never occurred , ignoring the millions of dead European victims of Nazism during the war , clearly reveals the racist Zionist face , which believes in the superiority of the Jewish race over the rest of the nations . ( ... ) By these methods , the Jews in the world flout scientific methods of research whenever that research contradicts their racist interests . In August 2003 , senior Hamas official Dr Abd Al-Aziz Al-Rantisi wrote in the Hamas newspaper '' Al-Risala '' that the Zionists encouraged murder of Jews by the Nazis with the aim of forcing them to immigrate to Palestine
