Senior Hamas Official Mousa Abu Marzouk: Nobody Could Have Anticipated The Consequences Of October 7; We Did Not Expect A Barbaric World War against Us, In Violation Of International Law
Mousa Abu Marzouk of the Hamas Political Bureau was asked in a February 22, 2024 interview on Alghad TV [Egypt] if Hamas's Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades had any expectations regarding the consequences of the October 7 attack. Abu Marzouk said that "nobody in the whole world" could have expected...
Interviewer:
"When the [Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam] Brigades did what they did on October 7, did they have expectations regarding the consequences of that attack?"
Mousa Abu Marzouk:
"Look, the consequences of the attack... Nobody in the whole world expected them to be so barbaric, and in such violation of all the international laws, treaties and norms. Nobody expected the [Israeli response] to be so barbaric, because, ultimately, the resistance fights soldiers. It is not fighting civilians with planes and tanks."
Interviewer:
"What would you do if you had expected these consequences?"
Abu Marzouk:
"Nobody expected that all the Western powers, The U.S., and Britain, would wage world war against civilians. Nobody expected that.
Commentary:
Hust what did Mousa Abu Marzouk expect after the October 7th surprise attack?
I guess that Mousa Abu Marzouk was under the impression that Israel would roll over and allow the barbaric attack to take place and not retaliate.
The result of Marzouk's decision to attack was the massacre women and children. Yes, Hamas crossed the line and now they get to live with the consequences. Now they Pay the Piper
Hamas broke a ceasefire, committed atrocities, acted like a bunch of barbarians and now Marzouk leads with the victim card. Not buying it. This is what you wanted. You sowed the whirlwind.
For the record:
To the citizens in Gaza who today suffer. They do so because they did nothing to stop October 7 from happening. Now they have to suffer the consequences along with those who carried out the slaughters.
Bo one spoke up. Many people had to have been privy to the preparations. No doubt, many of those tight-lipped people thought the Israelis were going to “get theirs”. Well, someone is “getting theirs”, and it isn’t the Israelis.
In the meantime, the friends of Hamas, namely Hezbollah had done little to nothing in assistance to Hamas.
Jordan and Egypt refuse to accept Palestinian refugees. Even Syria and Iran have refused to accept Palestinians.
