Son of Hamas Founder: ‘No Such Thing as a Palestinian’ — Death-Cult Ideology Weaponized Against the West

 

“A society that sacrifices its own children for pity and power is a death cult — and the liberal West is feeding the beast by validating its lies,” the son of a Hamas co-founder warned, describing Hamas’s strategy of turning Gaza’s civilians into human shields to win global sympathy.

Speaking in a recent exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Mosab Hassan Yousef — the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, who later broke with the terror group and worked covertly with Israeli intelligence as “The Green Prince” — delivered a sweeping warning to Western progressives as global sympathy for the Palestinian cause reaches historic highs.

The former Hamas insider’s warning comes as Israel marks two linked anniversaries: 78 years since the U.N. Partition Plan on November 29, 1947 — when the Arab world rejected a Jewish state and launched a war — and its November 30 national day commemorating the departure and expulsion of nearly 900,000 Jews from Arab and Muslim countries and Iran, after Arab regimes turned on their Jewish populations in the wake of the U.N. vote and Israel’s creation and stripped them of citizenship, property, and basic rights.

“The world forgets history,” Yousef said. “But history is repeating itself — and this time the liberal West is helping it happen.”

“This Is Their Strategy — Sacrificing Children to Cry Genocide.”

Drawing on his upbringing inside Hamas’s inner circle, Yousef said the terror group’s approach on October 7 — and throughout what he called “77 years of Palestinian violence” — was never about land, borders, or “occupation,” but about producing maximum civilian suffering for political gain and Western consumption.

“This is their strategy,” he warned. “Put children in harm’s way, weaponize civilians, endanger both sides, and use the blood to ignite endless war.”

Hamas, he stressed, knows it cannot defeat Israel on the battlefield.

“They know they cannot win a conventional war,” Yousef said. “So they try to defeat Israel in the court of liberal Western opinion — by creating as many civilian casualties as possible and then screaming ‘genocide.’”

Launching the October 7 massacre from one of the most densely populated areas on earth was deliberate, he argued. Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar “knew exactly what Israel’s response would be,” describing the attack as a trap designed to generate horrific images from Gaza that could then be weaponized in Western media, campuses, and streets.

“They orchestrated the entire war,” Yousef said. “They did it to gain pity points — and many in the liberal West fell for it.”

Israel, by contrast, he said, “did everything it could to minimize civilian casualties” while facing an enemy that has “adopted the strategy of weaponizing civilians for 77 years,” a culture of death that glorifies martyrdom and treats children as tools, knowing that activists in New York, London, and Paris would rush to accuse Israel of mass murder.

“There Is No Such Thing as a Palestinian — It’s a False Identity.”

The former Hamas operative reserved some of his sharpest criticism for what he called the “manufactured Palestinian identity,” insisting it was invented for political utility and continues to fuel violence that Western progressives now excuse.

“There is no such thing as Palestinian,” he said. “There is no such thing as Palestine. These are terms borrowed from the Romans — from conquerors. At most, what they call ‘Palestinians’ are Arabs, and Israel already has two million Arab citizens.”

He described the Palestinian national narrative as “a mask,” constructed to justify rejecting peace, rejecting coexistence, and ultimately rejecting Israel’s right to exist — even as the same narrative is now chanted on American campuses.
