Leaning forward in his chair, hands on his knees, Omar Abu Rusha takes a sip of water as he describes his involvement in the planned attacks on Israel Oct. 7. He’s wearing a Shin Bet prisoner’s uniform, and an Israeli flag stands in the background.
A member of Hamas’s elite Nukhba commando unit, Abu Rusha explained how he and another Hamas terrorist entered a house in the community of Kfar Aza, near the Gaza border, through a window.
Once inside, they heard noises from children coming from a safe room. When the interviewer asks what kind of noises, he says they were crying.
“We shot at the safe room… We shot at the door until we didn’t hear noise anymore,” he said.
“You stopped hearing noise,” said the interviewer. “What does that mean?”
“That they died,” Abu Rusha replied.
“The mission was simply to kill. We weren’t supposed to kidnap. Just kill.”
He added: “[We were told] to kill every person we see and come back.”
The interviewer asked if he was told to make a distinction between men, women, and children. He said he was not.
“They told us that all the settlers were soldiers…Kill every single one you see.”
He puts a hand on his chest, moves around in his chair. Mentions that they snacked on dates while in the house.
“They told you to kill everyone? The women and the children?” asked the interviewer.
“Yes,” Abu Rusha said.
He described how he and his team, part of a network of some 3,000 terrorists who participated in the massacre, entered Israel that day.
“We got to Kfar Aza. We were inside a jeep. [Our guide] opened the fence on the border of Kfar Aza using an explosive device.”
Soon afterward, Israeli security forces arrived and Abu Rusha and his comrades turned themselves in following another shootout.
The interviewer asked: “Is killing children permitted in Islam?”
“No,” he replied.
“What did the Prophet Mohammed say regarding this?”
“Children are not involved,” said Abu Rusha.
Finally, the interviewer asked him: “Would your mother and father be proud of these actions?”
“They don’t know I’m part of Hamas. If my father sees me, he will shoot me. He will kill me.”
“Why?” the interrogator asked.
“Because of those things [I did],” Abu Rusha replied.
Unfortunately, the interviewer didn't ask him why he disobeyed the prophet, or how he felt about killing children. He also didn't appear to ask about whether or not they were given drugs before the invasion.
In this man's confession, there was no guilt, no shame, no fear of God!
Egyptian PM says Egypt “prepared to sacrifice millions”
of Palestinian lives to protect its land

Egypt refuses to help Palestinians in Gaza, and is actually “prepared to sacrifice” them, amid warnings by Israel to civilians to clear out so as not to be harmed in the fighting. Let’s see how many world leaders and media will pick up on this. Jordan, too, has also reiterated: “No refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt,” and said that this is “a red line.”
For these Arab Muslim leaders, the hate and propaganda against Israel remains top priority, not the safety of Palestinians.
Egypt is ‘prepared to sacrifice millions of lives’ to protect its land, PM says
Ynet News, October 31, 2023:
Egypt is committed to protecting its land and maintaining its sovereignty over it, the country’s prime minister said. Mostafa Madbouly visited al-Arish in northern Sinai on Tuesday, accompanied by hundreds of government officials and public figures, Al Arabiya reported.
“We are prepared to sacrifice millions of lives to ensure that no one encroaches upon our territory,” Madbouly said.
“Egypt will never allow anything to be imposed on it,” the prime minister also said, adding that regional issues would not be solved at the country’s “expense,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
His message appeared to be a response to reports that an Israeli government ministry has drafted a wartime proposal to transfer the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million people to Egypt’s Sinai peninsula.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office played down the report compiled by the Intelligence Ministry as a hypothetical exercise — a “concept paper.” But its conclusions deepened long-standing Egyptian fears that Israel wants to make Gaza into Egypt’s problem…
But Gazans don't want to annihilate Egyptians.
Hundreds more civilians, including 400 Americans,
permitted to leave Gaza amid war

Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Hundreds more civilians, including about 400 Americans and hundreds of other foreigners, were permitted to leave Gaza Thursday as a tightly controlled evacuation from the war-torn territory entered its second day.
Gaza's border authority released a list of 600 foreign passport holders and a host of dual national Palestinians from 14 countries, including Mexico, South Korea, Azerbaijan and Italy, who were allowed to leave Gaza through Egypt's Rafah border crossing, reports said.
The evacuation comes several days after Israel sent tanks into Gaza, raising fears of a higher civilian death toll in the days ahead.
On Wednesday, at least 300 foreign nationals and 80 critically injured Palestinians crossed into Egypt as part of the first major departure from the Palestinian territory since the Israel-Hamas war erupted on Oct. 7, which locked down Gaza's border for more than three weeks, trapping thousands amid a massive bombardment.
A number of Americans were part of the initial group to depart Gaza, the White House confirmed Wednesday, while the State Department said it had reached out to at least 1,000 families of Americans still trapped in the territory with little food, water, and medical supplies as the Israeli military continued its all-out siege on Hamas.
Before now, only aid trucks had been permitted to use the crossing to bring humanitarian supplies into Gaza from Egypt.
Ambulances went through the crossing for the first time this week to bring patients to a newly constructed field hospital about six miles inside Egypt.
Hundreds more people, mainly families with children, were gathered with their belongings at the crossing waiting to be allowed to cross.
Elsewhere, more than 200 Israeli hostages were still being held by Hamas, while more than 9,000 civilians have been killed and at least another 1 million displaced since hostilities began, according to Gaza's health ministry.
