Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, delivered powerful address at the United Nations this week, condemning the actions and ideologies of Hamas. His speech focused on the terrorist attacks by Hamas, especially against Israeli civilians, and the indoctrination of the population of Gaza, especially children.

Yousef, with his unique perspective as a former Palestinian child within the Hamas culture, criticized the group’s genocidal intentions and their goal of building an Islamic state without regard for political boundaries, as reported from The Jerusalem Post.

—We are talking about a religious group that does not believe in political boundaries and wants to annihilate an entire race to build an Islamic state. I don’t know what else you can say about that ― and I don’t know why it’s not obvious to everyone, ― he. said.

His 2010 book, Son of Hamas, details his journey from Hamas insider to critic and informant for Israeli intelligence. He recounted his personal experiences of indoctrination and abuse as a child, emphasizing the main goal of Hamas to annihilate the State of Israel.

The former Hamas member described a harrowing incident from his childhood where he was tied up and whipped by a Hamas leader for disobedience, illustrating the group’s brutal methods of discipline and indoctrination. Yousef’s public denunciations of Hamas continue, including his participation in media events and NGOs, such as his 2017 speech for UN Watch at a UN Human Rights Council debate.

Yousef also addressed the broader implications of Hamas’ actions on future generations.

“Hamas’ first crime against children in Palestinian societies is not arming them or encouraging them to carry out suicide bombings – it is the religious ideological indoctrination that I had to go through with one intention in mind: to annihilate. the State of Israel. This is the main target of Hamas,” said Yousef

He emphasized that blaming Israel does not address the root of the problem, which lies in the indoctrination and criminal activities of Hamas against children and society.

Yousef’s work with Israel’s security services helped thwart several terrorist attacks planned by Hamas, CBN News noted. Having defected from Hamas in the late 90s, Yousef, who converted to Christianity, has since dedicated his efforts to exposing the true nature of Hamas.

Yousef referred to an interview with Piers Morgan on the talk show “Uncensored”. He expressed his frustration at the misrepresentation of the Palestinian struggle by outside pro-Palestinian activists, asserting his own legitimacy as a representative of the interests of Palestinian children.

“We don’t want a Palestinian state, I don’t want a Palestinian state. Palestinian children need education, they need security, they need life. This is what they need, they don’t need another corrupt Arab regime,” Yousef told Morgan.

Yousef’s attitude is not isolated within his family. In July 2019, his brother Suheib also fled Hamas, denouncing it as a terrorist organization. Suheib’s comments highlighted Hamas’ grip on Gaza, maintaining power by force and creating problems for the region. —The problem in Gaza is that Hamas holds power by force. If Hamas gave up power, there would be no problems,” Suheib said at the time.
