Hamas ‘death culture’ beyond comprehension, says founder’s son

[Twiglets1]

Hamas’s embrace of “death culture” is beyond comprehension for much of the world, Mosab Hassan Yousef, the eldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, the founder of the terrorist group, told JNS on Tuesday.

“It is not just the West, it’s also the East. It is beyond understanding that some people are willing to sacrifice human life for political gains, or worse for financial gains. I am a living example of this. My father had to choose between his eldest son and the cause and he chose the cause,” said Yousef.

“There is no parent in the world that would go into a fight that would put their own children in harm’s way. Hamas did the opposite. They went and dragged Israel in the most brutal fight of our time, knowing children would pay the price. This shows you their hypocrisy,” he continued.

“It’s the same game with pro-Palestinians worldwide. Everybody cries for the children on one hand, and on the other they are pushing Palestinian indoctrination which leads to the death of children. And then when children die, they blame Israel,” he added.

From the same article:

According to Yousef, understanding Hamas’s and the Muslim Brotherhood’s “death culture” and their strategy of weaponizing civilians will help the world see more clearly the importance of separating religion from politics.

“My journey didn’t start after Oct. 7,” said Yousef, referring to the Hamas-led invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. “I’ve had 15 years of fighting against Hamas’s ideology and operations—knowing if Hamas succeeded and destroyed Israel, they would come after the Arabs, after Muslim sects and after the West,” he said.

“Jihad has no limit. Even though Hamas uses the Palestinian cause as a device. This is how they guarantee continuation in the name of nationalism, but in its essence, it’s a one-sided religious war. On Oct. 7, Hamas did not kill and kidnap innocent people in the name of nationalism or Palestine, they killed in the name of Allah,” he noted.

Hamas, he said, does not believe in nationalism or political borders but uses the Palestinian cause as a more appealing banner than Islam.

“When ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Salafi jihadists and other terrorist groups declared war on civilization, it was much easier to counter them and deconstruct their operation. We have been fighting against the Muslim Brotherhood for almost a century and we cannot defeat them because they have a totally different strategy,” he said.
“They build infrastructure, schools, they take on national causes like Palestine, Afghanistan, like Kashmir, and the world is fooled,” he added.

“When I see the moral decay within the Muslim population, the slaughter of toddlers, kidnapping of Holocaust survivors, of innocent civilians who were actually mostly pro two-state solution, I feel we have betrayed them,” he continued.

In lieu of a Palestinian state, Yousef suggested an Arab federation and cooperation with the State of Israel.

Thank you for sharing this. I hope many people read it.

I think they will but not many people will comment on it so thank you for doing so.

It's possible, in my opinion, that like many Muslims that speak up against hamas there are people that ignore them and discount what they say as it doesn't fit with the louder pro hamas narrative. They can't thought pretzel out of the stark reality of such an evil ideology.
There are many Muslim voices against hamas highlighting the fact they wont just stop with Israel and Jewish people. The ideology is coming for anyone who wants to live differently to them.

Thank you for sharing. Understanding this is so fundamental to understanding why normal diplomacy is not a rational response to this situation. You can't negotiate with an organisation (Hamas) thst thinks like this. What I don't understand is why people refuse to believe it when the evidence is in front of them.

I hope this is widely read.

Thank you for sharing. I hope lots of people read this and try to take it in.

Hamas, he said, does not believe in nationalism or political borders but uses the Palestinian cause as a more appealing banner than Islam.

This is what people simply refuse to understand, ever since the first marches in London on 14 Oct 2023 painted the whole thing as "resistance." The UK public loves "resistance." Be very careful what you wish for.

Islamic terrorists privide the bullets and Infidels fire them.

I think people kniw what Hamas is and how it's feeding into the Palestinians desperation. However, the Israeli govt have pushed and pushed their limits, hence them turning to them in desperation. A bit like why people joined the IRA in the first place.

No, they refuse to believe the threat that Hamas presents. You have just alluded to it in your reference to Israel's game plan. It is Israel, who has stared Islamic fundamentalism, in the face The IRA is also not comparable; Jihadi mindset is unique, as the author suggests. The IRA genuinely wanted to be free from British rule. Hamas aren't interested in a two state solution. Not that I'm excusing IRA's actions but it helps to see why some Irish support for Palestine, is misguided.

The second reason for refuting what this fantastic author has to say - coming from a position of seeing it with his own eyes - is that he is dismissed as a Mossad spy.

I find it slightly understandable how Gazans could be radicalised into supporting Hamas & I appreciate that the Israel government has been at fault too for how they have treated Gazans.

What I find less understandable is why so many Westerners would show sympathy with Hamas goals or anger at Israel for trying to destroy them. When the UK was fighting with the IRA I don't remember anywhere near as much anti UK feeling as Israel are experiencing.

Though it was very different of course with the IRA "only" killing 1,700 people over 25 years (mostly military) which in turn led to a much less violent reaction from the UK government than if the 7/10 massacre had happened in England.

And then when children die, they blame Israel,” he added.

That's because Israel killed them.

It is in Hamas and Likkud’s best interests to maintain hostilities.
Every time Hamas antagonises Israel both Hamas and Netanyahu gain support and every time Netanyahu responds viciously both Israelis and Palestinians become ever more polarized and desperate. The few remaining moderate voices on both sides are crushed (or murdered). I feel so hopeless.

But Israel wouldn't have been using weapons in the area if Hamas hadn't escalated hostilities on 7/10/23 with their massacre & kidnappings so really, they are at least as much to blame for civilians getting killed.

That plus ensuring that targets caused maximum civilian deaths.

Thanks for posting OP

Hamas Consciously engineering this.

Support in the Republic of Ireland hasn’t got to do with support for the modern PIRA. I mean we do know what it’s like to have your identity hijacked by a terrorist group and be treated as a potential terrorist at times.

But during the troubles many in the republic sympathised with the cause of the IRA (of a united ireland) but opposed the violence and the terrorism. So we understand that difference. Irish people support a Palestinian state but not the terrorism. But the support is more about our history of colonialism and oppression, the loss of our culture. And the great famine of course where the population was starved while food grown in Ireland was exported to Britain.

So it’s not baffling that Irish people have empathy with Palestinians. There are many parallels in our history.

Perhaps it's understandable that Irish people have particular empathy with Palestinians as can empathise with them as a people that have suffered oppression.

Palestinians have very much also been oppressed by Hamas though which is where it seems surprising that most of their anger only seems directed to Israel.

Sorry, but why not capture and bring hamas terrorists to trial?
You have to concede that the wider plan of extending into Judea and Samaria has something to do with it.
Yes Hamas Are Bad. But war crimes are also bad.

Not religious, but thank God every day I was born in where I was, and my children too.

Fervently hope one day Palestinians can be free of this evil ideology.

I see that the anti Israelis have swerved the Palestinian Cause Being A Trojan Horse For The Quest For Worldwide Islamism Hamas motive.

Instead, they equivocate Likud and Hamas, not recognising that Netanyahu cannot be leader forever more, yet Islamism has been and will remain a threat since the inception of Islam.

Hence why Hamas, Iran and their allies do not care about Palestinians life lost. Neither do Islamists or the Western counterintuitive stans of Islamism that seem to think that minorities will have a better go of it under Sharia than " White colonialism/ White Supremacy/ LGBTQ rights/ democracy".

Muslims who are against this narrative are disregarded by both White know it all privileged behind closed doors degenerate Leftists, Black male and female misogynistic nationalists (Hoteps) and Muslims who are closeted and open Islamists.....Western and not.

I will never understand the White Leftist love affair with" Eastern" Machismo Politricks. Stalinism, Maoism, Islamism, and at home , the fetishizing of anti social, anti education behaviour of a consistently stubborn cohort of Black males and more recently non Black Muslim males.
What is this kink called ?

Another kink is not listening to minorities who are not on message, yet pulling the " my best friend is Jewish" card when needing to justify anti Semitism, anti Semitism adjacency pertaining to Jewish people who are " anti Zionist"?
It's the " Good Ngger/Bad Ngger" trope beloved of racist White people of ALL political stripes.
And used a lot by the CITME self declared anti racists.

Same ... when I have a moan about life in England I should try to remember how extremely lucky I actually am with my first world problems.

Well I would suspect this largely has to do with Ireland (in general) understanding that there is a power imbalance esp due to the western support of Israel and the conditions on the ground that allowed terrorism to flourish, that specific lack of an alternative.

And it seems very obvious to us that offering a peaceful political path to a Palestinian state could be the first step towards peace. An alternative to terrorism. That’s where the experience of the peace process in N.Ireland comes in.

Irish support for Palestinian predates Hamas. There is support in NIreland (for both sides) that feels very different and is more about supporting an armed struggle and on other side supporting heavy military action against terrorism.
