Son of Hamas co-founder speaks out against Hamas violence, indoctrination at UN
The son of a co-founder of Hamas blasted the terror organization in a blistering half-hour speech at the United Nations on Monday. Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan
Yousef, defected from the terrorist group in the late '90s and secretly worked with Israel's security services to expose and prevent several Hamas terrorist attacks.
In 2010 he wrote autobiography titled Son of Hamas.Yousef, 45, now endeavors to expose the true face of Hamas' genocidal death cult.
“Today I can speak on the authority of [myself, having once been] a Palestinian child, someone who grew up in that culture," Youssef said.
"Hamas' first crime against children in the Palestinian societies is not arming them or encouraging them to carry suicide bombing attacks – it's the religious ideological indoctrination that I had to go through with one intention in mind: to annihilate the State of Israel. This is Hamas's primary goal," Yousef said.
As "a 10-year-old child when I disobeyed Hamas, I was tied up to a post and I was whipped by a Hamas top leader. My father was in prison at that time and this leader thought that he was my mentor. This is Hamas discipline. This is how they wanted me to be... to become a violent savage like them," the defecting son said.
He’s also spoken on behalf of media groups, such as his address at the
2019 Jerusalem Post Annual Conference, and for NGOs such as in his
2017 speech at a UN Human Rights Council debate for UN Watch.
Youssef was also the subject of the 2014 documentary
The Green Prince.
"I am not a part of propaganda. I don't work for anybody. I only represent myself and on this authority I speak, so don't be mistaken and [instead] take my words very carefully,” Youssef said in his remarks.
“Hamas is committing a crime against this generation and the next generations to come, so blaming Israel is not going to solve the problem."
Yousef, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, has opposed the terror group since defecting in the 1990s.
