Eradicating Hamas

"Hamas must have a time frame -- a month or two or six months -- to return the hostages, and if they don't return the hostages within the time frame, Israel must execute top Hamas leaders in prison, especially the mass murderers."

"When I say execute top Hamas leaders, I mean no exceptions. That includes my own father, the co-founder of the Hamas movement. In this war, there are no exceptions. I made a mistake, ten or 15 years ago, when I saved his life many times ... he was supposed to die for his actions. I saved his life. Things did not change, things got worse."

"Hamas is going nowhere, and if we continue to negotiate with them, they will continue stretching these negotiations, taking us into a rabbit hole that will never end. And this is their goal: to get away with their crimes. We cannot allow this to happen."

Mosab Hassan Yousef calls on Israel to set a time limit for the release of all Israeli hostages. Should that demand for their release within the time designated not be honoured, Mr. Yousef emphatically declares that Israel must forthwith destroy the lives of any senior Hamas officials held in Israeli prisons. That they should pay for their crimes -- both the crimes that sent them to be incarcerated and the crimes they are equally responsible for having promoted through their leadership in the death cult that is Hamas.

 

He gave warning of the obvious that cannot have escaped the notice of anyone, either close to the negotiations, or watching from the sidelines, that Israel is being mercilessly manipulated; the Hamas terrorist group taking full advantage of their understanding of Jewish veneration for life, as opposed to their own casual attitude toward death -- encouraging death as a stairway to heaven as a martyr where Paradise awaits them in another world on a higher plane.

 

About 155 Israelis and other hostages including foreign workers remain in the hands of the terrorists in Gaza, including some being held by 'ordinary' civilian Palestinians who have taken it upon themselves to emulate the inhumane tactics of their leaders, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The temporary truce which Israel agreed to through the bargaining auspices of Qatar, the United States and Egypt, with Hamas releasing a discrete number of hostages daily in exchange for Palestinian criminals being held in Israeli prisons continues to limp along.

 

Over several days, Hamas has been releasing groups of hostages in exchange for prisoners

Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, in the face of pressures few other world leaders have ever had to manage -- demands from its citizens to use any means possible to have the hostages -- children, adults and soldiers returned to their families; the need to ensure that the terrorist groups in Gaza and their operating infrastructure and weaponry finally be destroyed to stop the never-ending assaults -- the pressures brought by Israel's putative supporters and fellow democracies, to permanently suspend its response to the sadistic violence brought to southern Israel.

 

Born in Ramallah, the 45-year-old Yousef was involved as a youth in the activities of his father's Hamas movement, viewed as a successor to the leadership in the terrorist group. In Israel's Megiddo Prison in his early adulthood, he began to question the ideology he had committed to, its Islamist hostilities and jihadist violence, becoming disillusioned and moving away from the methodology and goals of the terrorist group. He was receptive to Israel Security Agency Shin Bet's offer to become an agent.

The offer was release from prison to become an informer. He agreed, on the condition that Israel would arrest and not kill the targets of any of his intelligence revelations. Privy to Hamas plans as the son of Sheikh Yousef, he became an impressive source of intelligence for a decade, providing the Shin Bet with information enabling them to foil numerous suicide bombing attacks and attempts at assassination, as well as exposing terror cells. The Shin Bet came to refer to him as "The Green Prince".

Yousef converted to Christianity. In 2010 he wrote and had published his autobiography under the title of Son of Hamas. Since then he has lived in the United States. His father has been in and out of prisons in Israel for years. His latest arrest was on October 19 in Ramallah in a crackdown on Hamas in the wake of the October 7 bloodbath where 1,200 people were killed in Israeli communities close to the Gaza border. 

There are people still unaccounted for, while Israeli authorities continue to identify bodies and doggedly search for human remains in an effort to identify everyone who had become a victim to Hamas savagery in an unparalleled example of sadistic human depravity. Where even infants of 9 months of age, their  four-year-old sibling, and their 32-year-old mother were not immune from murder, while the children's father in separate captivity was forced to watch a video revealing their deaths.

"Hamas has been waging psychological warfare against humanity... They want to release thousands of mass murderers back to the street in return for the Israeli hostages. Israel cannot afford this, but also humanity cannot afford this – because the release of mass murderers means the death of many other innocent people."

"I understand that Israel had to compromise in the past week or two in order to release children, women, elders, and defenseless civilians [but] the remaining hostages – especially soldiers, [and] those who failed to defend themselves and defend the civilians in the southern communities when they were captured – should be treated as war prisoners and Israel must shift its priority from a hostage rescue mission to an offensive that focuses on eradicating Hamas."
