Marzouki: ‘Sinwar was martyred defending the land where he was born’

Former Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki lamented that the head of the Hamas political bureau, Yahya Sinwar, was martyred defending the land where he was born.

Marzouki posted on his Facebook page: “Lame logic is that Israel, a nuclear state that violates all norms and laws and occupies the lands of others, has, according to the weak phrase they shamelessly continue to repeat, the right to defend itself, but its victims do not have the right to defend themselves even if they are burned in tents, starved and displaced.”

He added: “According to the same lame logic, Palestinians must accept the siege in Gaza, colonialism in the West Bank and apartheid in Israel; otherwise they are a terrorist and an anti-Semite! No, you scholars of logic, they are neither a terrorist nor an anti-Semite, they are just a resister.”

Al-Marzouki continued: “May God have mercy on Abu Ibrahim (Al-Sinwar). This resistance fighter did not die in a tunnel shielded by hostages as the typical lying claims say, but rather, he died on the ground in military uniform with his weapon in his hand, defending the land where he was born and martyred. Regarding 7 October, when will the Israelis get enough revenge for a catastrophe that they piled up the firewood for and when will they wake up from their rage after committing vengeful massacres that would make the entire human race sweat.”

The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, officially mourned the head of its political bureau and the commander of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, Yahya Sinwar, on Friday after he was killed in armed clashes with the occupation army in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
