Son of Hamas Leader Converts to Christianity, Speaks Out Against Hamas
Interesting.
Here's a quote. This is obvious, of course. But more crucially -- the media must dismiss the son of a Hamas leader as being inexpert on Hamas thinking in order to continue their fantasia of Hamas being interested in a roadmap to peace.
JONATHAN HUNT: Do you believe that Israel can ever strike a peace deal with Hamas?
MOSAB HASSAN YOUSEF: There is no chance. Is there any chance for fire to co-exist with the water? There is no chance. Hamas can play politics for 10 years, 15 years; but ask any one of Hamas’ leaders, ‘Okay, what’s going to happen after that? Are you just going to live and co-exist with Israel forever?’ The answer is going to be no … unless they want to do something against the Koran. But it’s their ideology and they can’t just say ‘We’re not going to do it.’ So there is no chance. It’s not about Israel, it’s not about Hamas: it’s about both ideologies. There is no chance.
Eh, he was in the intifadas all his life. What would he know about Hamas.
The big question is what do Rosa Brooks and Tom Friedman think about Hamas? They're the real experts, after all. They work for newspapers.
