Interviewer:
Many people are asking: Since you have built 500 kilometers of tunnels, why haven’t you built bomb shelters, where civilians can hide during bombardment?
Mousa Abu Marzouk:
We have built the tunnels because we have no other way of protecting ourselves from being targeted and killed. These tunnels are meant to protect us from the airplanes. We are fighting from inside the tunnels. Everybody knows that 75% of the people in the Gaza Strip are refugees, and it is the responsibility of the United Nations to protect them. According to the Geneva Convention, it is the responsibility of the occupation to provide them with all the services as long as they are under occupation.
Well, the original source is Russia Today, which is arguably worse. Reuters and BBC didn’t happen to take an interview with this person during his Moscow visit.
There’s another run with Al-Arabiya, Saudi iirc, where the interviewer grills the Hamas rep for doing a shit ton to hurt the cause of the Palestinian people.
People think Hamas takes interviews with western independent journalists? Maybe their propaganda arm which knows how to play down their crimes and keep the narrative going. These guys are the real ones.
