Son of Hamas: 'A Palestinian state is dependent on no Jewish state'

When looking for sound advice, in a particular field, most people will turn to the top expert who has spent years honing their knowledge and experience in that area. Likewise, when it comes to matters involving Jewish/Palestinian relations, as well as the Islamic culture, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone more well-versed or eloquent than Mosab Hassan Yousef, better known as Son of Hamas, meticulously describing the complex and one-dimensional world from which he emerged.
For those who are interested in getting the inside story, from the Ramallah native, whose father was co-founder of Hamas, Yousef clips are plentiful and can be accessed on YouTube.
The information gleaned from his years of personal involvement in that particular society offers a comprehensive glimpse into the Palestinian mindset which is now attempting to dominate Western culture by appealing to Woke young people, through the means of intersectionality, as it identifies victims and oppressors.
Yousef, at age 45, has cultivated a rock-like strength, which resulted after a painful learning process that included beatings, to the point of unconsciousness, complete rejection by his family, imprisonment and finally collaboration with Israeli intelligence agencies, all of which has produced the self-assured and principled man, who comes across with the boldness of a lion in each one of his amazing interviews.
In a more recent discussion with Canadian psychologist, author and commentator, Jordan Peterson, aired on the Daily Wire, Yousef makes the startling statement that “Palestine totally depends upon and the destruction of Israel. Similarly, the Islamic State requires the destruction of civilization.”
If you really consider the application of those statements, it becomes clear that there is no place for competing thoughts, ideology, religion, discourse or anything which strays from what is considered to be the only accepted truth.
Once that understanding is acknowledged, a two-state solution, with mutual respect and tolerance, is nothing more than wishful thinking - an idea pushed and promoted by politicians, global elites, nation-states, the UN and countless other entities and individuals, all of whom are either in total denial of the teachings to which Hamas operatives adhere or simply misinformed by ignorantly offering up a suggestion which is naive at best and deadly at worst.
Yousef, however, knowing exactly what is in the minds of Hamas terrorists and those who traffic in extreme Islam, understands the obstinate nature of their doctrine which rejects and despises Western values such as democracy, freedom of thought and expression, liberty and independence as well as mercy, forgiveness and compassion – all of which are God-given rights that good and decent nations strive to protect.
If Yousef’s first-hand information, into the philosophies and mindset of adherents to the Hamas code is true, then why would anyone think that Western moral values will be accepted and appreciated by others who live according to the same type of brutality and savagery of the Dark Ages.
We don’t have to look so far back to see the expulsion of Jews from Arab countries. “The majority of the Jewish population in Muslim lands were forced to flee their homes in the years following the establishment of the State of Israel. This mass expulsion and exodus is part of modern history, but inexplicably, it’s neither taught at schools nor remembered within the context of the conflicts in the Middle East. According to this source, “Jews had settled in these areas as early as 1,000 years before the advent of Islam,” yet, due to repressive measures, they were forced to leave their homes in many Arab countries, including Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Morocco and other places.”
Suddenly finding themselves with no rights or laws to protect them, Jews had no choice but to leave the comfort and even wealth which they had amassed and start a new life elsewhere.
We also know what happened to the Jews of Europe during the 1930s, preceding the Holocaust. They found themselves unwanted and despised by the local population who didn’t need much convincing they were the cause of their economic ills and people who just didn’t fit in with the indigenous society that practiced another faith.
Of course, it was this type of rejection that led to the establishment of the Jewish homeland, a refuge that could assure an end to Jewish exile and loss of freedoms. So why would anyone believe that Hamas terrorists are capable of more tolerance and more openness than any of their predecessors – especially in light of the October 7 massacre which showed the world, first hand, of what they were capable?
The chant, “From the river to the sea,” confirms their unwillingness to live together with Jews since that is the population they hope to eradicate. But until that is understood by globalists, politicians and nation-states, the futility of their plan will continue to be pushed.
According to an Al Jazeera article entitled, “Why Israel can’t be a Jewish state,” the author Sari Nusseibeh, a professor of philosophy at Al-Quds University in Jerusalem says, “The Israeli demand to be recognized as a ‘Jewish state’ by the Palestinians is an inherently problematic concept.” Nusseibeh argues that “the idea of a ‘Jewish State’ is logically and morally problematic, because of its legal, religious, historical and social implications.”
Claiming that the plurality amongst Jews cannot support one definition of a Jewish state, given that some Jews are atheists, he fails to recognize that being Jewish is also an ethnicity, and that is the uniting factor of the majority population who live in a Jewish state.
His next assertion, that not everyone in Israel is Jewish is already a recognized fact, which exists in just about every country that has its minority presence. Yet, it does not take away from the original culture, language or shared community of that nation.
However, it is the contention he makes, that a Jewish state invalidates the right of return for “up to 10 million Palestinians,” which is the real issue for him. The inability to flood Palestinians into Israel, making them the majority, is what really bothers him, because he clearly does not want Israel to be preserved as the Jewish homeland.
But if Jews become the minority, they will, once again, fear the possibility of expulsion from their homes – at which point, “From the river to the sea” will become a reality.
Mosab Hassan Yousef is completely convinced that the only way a Palestinian state can exist is at the price of destroying the Israeli state that already exists. Wouldn’t we be wise to believe him since he speaks from first-hand knowledge?
