Since, you are into fact-checking, Palestinians lied about hospital bombing to make Israel look bad. https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-fakes-surrounding-the-gaza-hospital-blast/a-67154393 Based on that, they probably routinely lie about the rest of the bombings and causalities, so you can calm down a bit. Also, if you are right about the Russians training Hamas, then Hamas learned to blame the other side for their, Hamas, was crimes and atrocities. Fight Hamas, not Israel. |

https://www.timesofisrael.com/son-of-hamas-in-interview-terrorists-brought-wrath-of-god-with-october-7-attack/#openwebComments ‘Son of Hamas’ in interview: Terrorists brought wrath of God with October 7 attack In passionate conversation with UK TV journalist Piers Morgan, Mosab Hassan Yousef, the disowned son of Hamas co-founder, advocates for war to topple bloody regime Mosab Hassan Yousef, the disowned eldest son of the co-founder of Hamas, told British talk show host Piers Morgan on Thursday that he was not surprised by Hamas’s brutality during the October 7 shock attack, but he was taken aback by its scale. “Wiping out entire communities, messing with a nuclear power, the most powerful country in the region, a country with a great trauma from the past, with a memory of a Holocaust, and all the Nazis did in the past century. They opened the gates of hell on the Palestinian people,” said Yousef on the syndicated program “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” On October 7, over 2,500 Hamas terrorists invaded Israel by land, air and sea, slaughtering 1,400 people, a majority of them civilians, and abducting 230 people including 30 children. The youngest is nine months old. Entire families were wiped out in their homes, and over 260 were massacred at an outdoor music festival. “Since its establishment, Hamas has one goal in mind, which is annihilating the State of Israel,” said Yousef. “It’s not a secret that Hamas wants to destroy the State of Israel. They cannot accept Israel or accept Israel’s right to exist.” Yousef is the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef. He was dubbed “Green Prince” (also the title of a 2014 documentary based on his autobiography) for his efforts to help the Shin Bet thwart terror attacks during the Second Intifada in the early 2000s. The 45-year-old was born in Ramallah and vividly remembers the foundation of Hamas in 1986, he said. To interviewer Morgan, Yousef described being imprisoned by Israel for over two years and witnessing Hamas torturing its own members in prison. “They killed, actually, and tortured hundreds of prisoners. And this is when I start asking myself the question, what if Hamas becomes the ruler at some point? What will they do to our people? And many years later, Hamas became the ruler of Gaza. And I wasn’t surprised by their brutality,” she said. Mosab Hassan Yousef addresses an AFMDA event in Florida, December 2018 (Courtesy) He predicted that once Israel removes Hamas from power in the Gaza Strip, as it has vowed to do following the October 7 terror onslaught, Palestinian residents would celebrate and thank Israel for ending their oppression and “lust for power.” “We have to separate between what is the so-called Palestinian cause and Hamas cause. Hamas’s cause is a sick one. It’s coming from the pit of hell, and they need to be removed from power. This is my message as an ex-Hamas member, as a son of one of Hamas founders, enough of this. If we don’t stop them now, the next war is going to be deadlier, and only God knows what will happen next,” he said. Removing Hamas from power can only happen through battle, he asserted. “Unfortunately, now Hamas left Israel, and the free world as well, with no choice but to fight them and put an end to their violence. Many civilians are dying. I understand this. Their blood is on the hands of Hamas and Hamas only,” he said. Morgan pushed Yousef on the widely held misconception that Israel is to blame for the Hamas massacre due to Israel’s occupation of much of the West Bank and for making the Gaza Strip a “prison camp for Gazans.” Palestinians walk by buildings destroyed in the Israeli bombardment on al-Zahra, on the outskirts of Gaza City, October 20, 2023. (Ali Mahmoud/AP) “Look, since my childhood, I am hearing the stories from pro-Palestine [activists] and from those who are using what’s so-called the Palestinian cause: They care the least for the Palestinian children and their future. “I am the legitimate representative of the Palestinian children. The child within me speaks: I don’t want somebody coming from London or somebody coming from the other side of the world to tell me what is the struggle of the Palestinian children. The Palestinian society has been hijacked by criminals and anybody who takes their side is participating in their crime,” he said. He railed against Hamas for using human shields and for preventing the evacuation of civilians by putting up roadblocks after Israel instructed the civilian population in northern Gaza to evacuate to the south. “We have a fundamental problem and we need to stop blaming Israel. We invited this upon our heads and the rest of the world, if they don’t know the reality on the ground, it’s better that they shut up,” he said. “[That’s] enough involvement from people who don’t care. They are just warriors on keyboards and they’re just storming world capitals saying, ‘Free Palestine, free Palestine.’ They don’t know what the hell Palestine is. I am Palestine, and I say it’s ‘Enough of Hamas.’ It’s enough of the corrupt leadership that is killing our people,” he said. Morgan asked whether it was even possible to overthrow the Hamas leadership. Yousef responded that there was no longer any choice. “Listen to this: We are going to remove Hamas from power. Remember my words, okay? And Hamas did not only bring the wrath of Israel over Gaza, Hamas brought the wrath of God. We are going to remove them from power and we are going to prosecute their leaders. And we are going to bring them to justice, and the world will witness their punishment. “And everyone who takes their side today, in this state of confusion, thinking that this is a joke, I tell those people that you are going to regret taking the side of Hamas. You are going to regret taking the side of those criminals who are killing the Palestinian people,” he said. |

There’s nothing more barbaric or inhuman about Hamas attacks than Israel’s attacks right now. Killing a 3 month old with a 6,000 lb bomb and calling Palestinians animals or human shields (take your pick) is just as blood thirsty and cruel as Hamas |

This is the first time in my memory that actual Israelis became collateral damage. Israel seems to be making an utterly pathetic effort to get their hostages back. |

| IDF reiterating to Gazans to go south for safety and that additional humanitarian aid will be available. This is more generosity of spirit than Hamas has ever shown Gazans, no? |

That is your response to war crimes not being justified ? Obviously 79 years of ongoing tensions and occasional wars has created a tinder box ready to explode: Israel’s indiscriminate response to innocent Palestinians is obviously going to make the many Muslims in Palestine and nearby Muslim countries even angrier and feeling justified in more violent responses to Israel. This indiscriminate bombing is a lose lose for both sides. It is also morally and legally wrong. |

Some folks say that Hamas uses Gazans as human sacrifices! |

Yes, this is self defense. Yes, this is killing Hamas fighters. No, this is not genocide. The reason the Palestinians don’t have a state is because THEY rejected the two state solution in 1948 (and many times since) and tried to destroy Israel. FFS. |

Hamas is lying. They bomb Israel daily. Yes, there is the Iron dome, but do you think they would not be bombing without the dome? |

You just said that Israelis are acting like animals? That is dehumanizing and not constructive. |

Palestinians hacked Hananya Naftali’s Twitter account, and the IDF Arabic Facebook account? Both claimed responsibility for bombing the hospital. If Israel is certain they didn’t bomb the hospital after warning them about an imminent bombing for days, let a team of neutral foreign chemical explosive specialists come to Gaza and test whether the chemicals on the scene resemble IDF or Palestinian bombs . Will Israel allow this ? |

At least Israel has a freaking dome and bomb shelters and safe rooms. We don’t even have this in the US. We get shot down like dogs by nut jobs. Israelis are relatively safer than both Americans and Palestinians even after Oct 7. Yes rockets are annoying I’m sure but what does that say about Israel’s strategy if Hamas is still stronger than ever with their stupid rockets? Is killing half the Gazan population really doing anything here if Hamas hasn’t even run out of rockets? 98% of the rockets get dismantled by the Iron Dome. Israelis just seem like they only care about themselves. Gazans are the ones suffering more than Israelis . Every day is Oct 7 for them , and every image we see looks like a 9/11 there with an entire building destroyed with rubble and dust and bodies dead and alive trapped within. |

Yes, my response to your absurd assertion is to point out its absurdity. Since nearby Muslim countries have been so very welcoming to Israel since they rolled out the welcome mat in 1948, I agree that continuing this history of amicable co-existence should be Israel’s top priority. Now, whether there’s a better, more humane way for Israel to achieve its goals? That’s a good question: what would you suggest, exactly? |

Dear genius, Hamas refused to turn over any parts of the explosive for independent analysis. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67216929 |

LOL they have been carpet bombing Gaza for the past 22 days and apparently have only killed a few Hamas fighters but have successfully killed 7000 civilians. Gosh they really suck at their job. Keep stating your lies but I can guarantee you repeatedly stating these statements will not make them true. A lie is a lie is a lie. |
