Hamas Co-founder's Son Speaks In Support Of Israel

Son of a Hamas founder has spoken out against the terrorist
organisation, throwing his support behind Israel which he says is
"fighting on behalf of the free world."

Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas co-founder and leader Hassan Yousef,
rejected Hamas and converted to Christianity after being raised to
become a Hamas militant.

He has also authored the book 'Son of Hamas' about his experience.

" Their goal is to conquer the globeand build an Islamic state on
every inch of the globe," he told The Right Scoop. "(Hamas) is willing
to sacrifice as many Palestinian lives as it takes.

"Israel in the Middle East is fighting on behalf of the free world," he said.

Mr Yousef had earlier told CNN that Hamas was a dangerous organisation
because it doesn't care about the lives of their own or the lives of
others.

"Hamas is not seeking coexistence and compromise. Hamas is seeking
conquest and taking over. And by the way, the destruction of the State
of Israel is not Hamas's final destination," he said. "Hamas final
destination is building the Islamic caliphate, which means an Islamic
state under rubble of every other civilisation."

Mr Yousef said he had been brainwashed as a child to sacrifice
everything for the cause.

"In the mosques, Hamas taught us that without shedding innocent blood
for the sake of the ideology, we wouldn't be able to build an Islamic
state. They were preparing us from the age as young as five years old.
This is the ideology that Hamas was feeding us. And honestly it's
impossible almost for anybody to break through and see the truth and
real face of Hamas and be able to leave at some point," he said.

"As you see in my case, I had to lose everything just to say no to
Hamas. And today when I look at the children of Gaza and I know what
they're fed, I know that they have no choice."

As much as Yousef sounds convincing enough, some have doubted the
authenticity of his claims and believe he is simply working undercover
for Hamas so he could gain entry into the US.

At least 1,242 people have died in Gaza since the conflict between
Israel and Hamas began, according to Palestinian ministry of health in
Gaza. 53 Israeli soldiers and three civilians have also died in the
conflict, Israeli Defense forces said.
