Yahya Sinwar and Marwan Barghouti Share the Same Beliefs in Spilling Blood


(Makor Rishon-Hebrew, 12April2024) Assaf Gabor - "Our task was to kill. Not capture, to kill everyone we saw, including women and children, and then return to Gaza. We arrived at the first house in Kfar Aza, and my friend Ahmad set it on fire. When someone came out to put out the fire, we killed him. I set fire to the second house." "In the third house, my friend Himza shot a woman. We sat in that house an hour and a half; we brought a laptop and watched the news. When three members of the kibbutz came, we shot them and killed them. In the fourth house that we entered, we sat and ate. And then we heard the voices of young children, children crying. Ahmed and I fired at the door until we didn't hear any voices, until they died." This is just one testimony from a Nukhba terrorist who was captured and interrogated. Moshe Pozilov, a veteran interrogator for the Israel Security Agency who is assisting in the interrogation of Hamas prisoners, had interrogated Fatah Tanzim leader Marwan Barghouti, who was captured in 2004 and sentenced to 5 life terms plus 40 years for his role in the Second Intifada. His name has come up in dicussions on exchanging Palestinian prisoners for Israeli captives. "People don't understand how much Barghouti is a religious man," said Pozilov. "Just like [Hamas leader] Yahya Sinwar, who wants to see Barghouti as head of the Palestinian Authority, he believes that spilling blood is the way to achieve Palestinian goals." "Sinwar and Barghouti share the same beliefs....[Barghouti] is the one who used the lie of "Al-Aqsa is in danger" to incite the Second Intifada. Barghouti called it the "Al-Aqsa Intifada," and Sinwar called the Oct. 7 massacre the "Al-Aqsa Flood."
