Son Of Hamas Founder: ‘They Want The Children Of Gaza To Die’

Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of one the founders of the terror group Hamas, has been speaking out about the current Middle East crisis. He said there will never be a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine as long as the Palestinians keep ties to Hamas.

“Peace between Israel and Hamas is not going to happen,” Yousef said on the “Kelly File” on Fox News. “Israel is a democracy, Hamas is terror organization.”

His father, Sheik Hassan Yousef, one of the terror group’s founders, was arrested in connection with the kidnapping of three Israeli teens, one of which had duel U.S. citizenship, which sparked the current conflict. The three teens, were found in a shallow grave in the West Bank.

Yousef, who is featured in the documentary, “The Green Prince,” told his story about how he was brought up to hate Israel before he realized that his father and the group Hamas were being used by regional power to stir up violence for other power-broker’s political ends.

Yousef says he has been speaking out because the way to defeat Hamas is to “unmasked Hamas.” He said the terror group “hijacked the Palestinian cause and infiltrated their society,” but that they are not acting in the interest of the Palestinian people.

“Hamas doesn’t care about the lives of Palestinians. Don’t think for a second please that Hamas cares for the children’s blood,” he added. “They want the children of Gaza to die.”

Israel has long charged that Hamas is intentionally firing and storing rockets and other weapons in and around civilian areas in order to raise the civilian death toll. Another recent video of Palestinian youth showed that Hamas wasn’t allowing civilians, including women and children, to leave and find safer grounds when Israeli warnings were send out.

“That is their game and they are happy about it,” Yousef said.
