Understanding Hamas's "Death Culture"
(JNS) Amelie Botbol - Hamas's embrace of "death culture" is beyond comprehension for much of the world, Mosab Hassan Yousef, the eldest son of Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, told the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs on Tuesday. "It is beyond understanding that some people are willing to sacrifice human life for political gains or worse, for financial gains. I am a living example of this. My father had to choose between his eldest son and the cause and he chose the cause," said Yousef. "In its essence, it's a one-sided religious war. On Oct. 7, Hamas did not kill and kidnap innocent people in the name of nationalism or Palestine, they killed in the name of Allah." "I prefer for my people economy, education, infrastructure, cooperation with Israel and to start mending bridges....The state illusion is not going to lead to guaranteed prosperity, especially with this mentality of going after Israel on a global campaign to delegitimize it. I don't understand how this will lead to peace."
