Hamas leader's son - a liar and a traitor

A good comment by Bilal

from Leeds to Palestine

When I first heard news 2 years ago, that Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of jailed Hamas leader from Ramallah, Sheikh Hassan Yousef had fled to California and converted to Evangelical Christianity, I was skeptical, especially given his family's denial. But when I saw his interview on FOX, I realised this was true but did not think much of it, true he had left his religion, he would be left for Allah to judge. Besides, would it have been better for someone so disillusioned to stay within Islam? Also, I didn't really take his assertions that Palestinians have a culture of death, that we are evil etc. too seriously as I believed he had been brainwashed by Christian Zionism.

Now, a Haaretz exclusive states:
The son of a leading Hamas figure, who famously converted to Christianity, served for over a decade as the Shin Bet security service's most valuable source in the militant organization's leadership.
Ya Rab! Why would he reveal this now? What is so special about the timing of this revelation....
Police in Dubai are to issue arrest warrants for 11 "agents with European passports" (now, 26!) suspected of assassinating a top Hamas official last month.
Oh, that's right. Mossad agents had penetrated a sovereign Arab nation and assassinated a senior member of the Palestinian resistance, using stolen European passports from friendly countries. They had also managed to have their faces plastered around television screens all around the world, effectively ending their 'on the ground' espionage career. They've been getting a lot of heat from the international community (although it's mostly hot air) so they needed to divert attention away from them and onto Hamas. This latest story is not the only one, 2 days ago a Fatah website claimed:
...says Damascus authorities detained Muhammad Nasser, who arrived in Dubai before Hamas man's assassination, for possible involvement in plot.
Many media outlets reported this as fact, even though it came from a very bias and unreliable source. Muhammad Nasser is also a very senior Hamas operative who participated in the killing of the two Israeli soldiers back in 1989. But if he was in Mossad's pocket, why would they need almost 30 people to kill one man? The claims made by Mosab Hassan Yousef are even more ludicrous:
...led to the arrests of a number of high-ranking Palestinian figures....included Ibrahim Hamid (a Hamas military commander in the West Bank), Marwan Barghouti (founder of the Fatah-linked Tanzim militia) and Abdullah Barghouti (a Hamas bomb-maker with no close relation to the Fatah figure).
Wow, this guy is like a super-spy! Putting aside the fact that he wants us to believe he has magical powers, who is he kidding?! The Hamas military and political wings are kept well apart, especially in the West Bank. How on earth, would he have information on the locations of top-level Hamas military commanders?! And this notion of a 'green prince', what utter garbage! This sounds like a classic Israeli propaganda piece, played by a treacherous Palestinian who has sold his country and religion for the beaches of California. We will see Mosab Hassan Yousef on tours in America next, warning Americans of the evil Palestinians and the glory of Israel.

This story and others that point towards infiltration of Hamas ranks is part of a clear campaign to discredit Palestinian resistance, divert attention and demoralise supporters of Palestine. Let's not be fooled by this drivel.

And since when is Marwan Bargouti a Hamas guy? How could this guy have been the one to betray him? I think most of the stories in his book will be lies. I think Shin Beth gave him an offer 'he could not refuse' in the mafia style: Either you publish this and tell the world that Hamas can never be negotiated with (which seems to be the main message of this book from what I read about it, which coincidentally is EXACTLY what Israel wants the world to believe) and we give you protection, or WE tell the world what you did, and then you don't get protection.
