Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook slammed Secretary of State John Kerry for remarks in which he said that murders committed by Israeli forces against Palestinians are self-defense.

Abu Marzook deemed Kerry’s remarks an unprecedented moral failure, adding that Hamas rejects the remarks and condemns Kerry’s labeling of Palestinian resistance as terrorism.

“What is terrorism if not the occupation and the killings, expulsion, repression and violations it brings?” He asked.

Abu Marzook said that no Palestinian should recieve Kerry who he called an utter liar, underlining that the international community’s complicity and financial and military support of the occupation is the origin of Israel’s vindictive measures against Palestinians.
