How Countries Affected By Hamas View Them In Gaza--Facing Countries Recognizing A Palestine

 Nadene Goldfoot                                                  


With the declaration of Canada joining England and France in recognizing a Palestinian State (if Israel just doesn't give up entirely ) which is what it amounts to, JTV brought out an interview of the son of Hamas, Mosab Hassan Yousef, and what he thinks of this.  I just saw it on youtube.  

A video circulating on YouTube titled "Son Of Hamas SLAMS Western Leaders Recognising..." features comments mentioning JTV Plus and referencing a documentary about antisemitism among Arabs in Palestine before 1948. 
It appears that JTV is a media platform that publishes videos and documentaries related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and related historical and political issues. 
Mosab Hassan Yousef is the son of one of the co-founders of Hamas and previously served as a member of the organization. He later became an undercover agent for Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service, and converted to Christianity in 1999. The two founders were Ahmad Yasin and Hassan Yousef in 1987.   
Yousef is a published author and is known for his critical views on Hamas and Islam. He has openly discussed his experiences and views in various forums, including interviews and events. 
While it's difficult to ascertain all of Yousef's appearances, the JTV video suggests a segment or documentary featuring his perspective, possibly on the history of the conflict or the role of Hamas.                          
 Facing Israel’s military campaign to destroy it after they attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, Hamas’s future is in doubt, as is Gaza’s.
Israel must put an end to Hamas, the organization of terrorists;  NOT the people, as some have misunderstood.  To me, they are going to have to show that they want peace.  It may take years and years, but then, Jews have waited for 2,000 years to regain Judah, let alone Israel. According to our dance card (carnet de bal or Tanzkarte) or ( Ikvesa D'meshicah ), we have about the next 200 years to see what happens.   
                                                                 Hamas
According to the Israeli government, Hamas is considered a terrorist organization. 
The Israeli government's classification of Hamas as a terrorist organization stems from its actions and stated goals. Hamas's 1988 charter called for the destruction of Israel. While a later charter in 2017 removed explicitly antisemitic language and targeted "Zionists," it did not renounce the use of violence against Israel. Hamas has carried out numerous attacks against Israeli civilians and military personnel, including suicide bombings, rocket attacks, and raids. The Israeli government views these actions as terrorism aimed at destabilizing the region and harming its citizens.

Yes, Hamas (also known as the Islamic Resistance Movement) is designated as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) by the U.S. government. The designation was issued by the U.S. Department of State in 1997. This designation is based on Hamas's involvement in terrorist activities that threaten the national security of the United States and the safety of U.S. nationals. Being designated as a FTO has several consequences, including:
  • It is unlawful for any person subject to U.S. jurisdiction to knowingly provide material support or resources to Hamas.
  • Members or representatives of Hamas, who are not U.S. nationals, may be inadmissible or deportable from the United States.
  • The Secretary of the Treasury can require U.S. financial institutions to block transactions involving assets of Hamas.

Telling us little is another description of Hamas:  "The Islamic Resistance Movement, abbreviated Hamas, is a Palestinian nationalist Sunni Islamist political organisation with a military wing, the Qassam Brigades. It has governed the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip since 2007."
Are these nations for Hamas recognition going to allow them to run Palestine's government?  What does Palestine look like?  Gaza and all of West Bank?  Doesn't this go against the Oslo Accords?  Hamas has already declared there will be no Jews in their Palestine !

Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant can't
Move a rubber tree plant

[Chorus]
But he's got high hopes
He's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes: That's Canada, England, France,
no common sense, JUST A BUNCH OF SILLY DOPES, WITH only HIGH HOPES.

Palestinian Authority

Gaza has already had their chance to show us how a Palestine will look like:  a platform closer to Israel to shoot Jews from.  
Israel moved out of Gaza and gave the land to the Palestinian Arabs under the  Palestinian Authority in 1994, under the Oslo Accords.                                
      Sderot under attack of Hamas before Oct 7, 2023
Multiple Israeli cities and communities near the Gaza border have been targets of rocket and other attacks from the Gaza Strip, particularly Sderot and Ashkelon. 
  • Sderot is located less than a mile from Gaza and has been a frequent target of rocket attacks, specifically Qassam rockets, causing casualties, property damage, and disrupting daily life for residents.

  • Ashkelon, a coastal city south of Tel Aviv, has also been significantly impacted by rocket attacks, especially their hospital;  particularly during the 2023 Hamas attack and in the months that followed. 
While other cities and towns have also experienced attacks, Sderot and Ashkelon are widely recognized as having been particularly vulnerable due to their proximity to Gaza. 
Yousef said he saw the light after a stint in an Israeli jail during the mid-1990s. At Megiddo Prison, he witnessed Hamas inmates leading a brutal year-long campaign to weed out supposed Israeli collaborators. "During that time, Hamas tortured and killed hundreds of prisoners," he said, recalling vivid memories of needles being inserted under fingernails and bodies charred with burning plastics. Many, if not all, had nothing to do with Israeli intelligence. "I will never forget their screams," he continued. "I started asking myself a question. What if Hamas succeeded in destroying Israel and building a state. Will they destroy our people in this way?"
The PA (Palestinian Authority :    Predominantly led by the Fatah party, it emerged from the Oslo Accords with Israel and represents a more secular and pragmatic approach towards achieving Palestinian statehood. The PA generally favors a two-state solution through negotiations with Israel, accepting a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders.  However, since October 7th, 2023, the feelings have changed and PA or Hamas may never be trusted again.  They showed their true colors.  Ask Yousef.  
Led by Abbas, the PA was not strong enough to win votes of their population. Abbas played a key role in the negotiations that led to the Oslo Accords in 1993, which established the Palestinian Authority (PA).  He'll soon be 90 years old.  
 They wanted the tough HAMAS.  I remember Obama really encouraging this newby group to get their first chance to vote in their life.  Seems to me they weren't all ready intellectually for this experience, not capable of making a rational decision about this.  Look what they chose....Hamas.
